I have the greatest neighbors in the world
So my neighbor’s son works for a beverage company, selling beers and what not to local bars and stores I believe. Anyway recently around Christmas time I noticed he had a large 6 foot tall statue of the man himself, Jack Daniels, in his garage. After it sat there untouched for a month or so … Continue reading
Making Stones for Friends
One of our family friends loves my obsession with Halloween and I thought it would be cool to make a stone for her family. I had some scrape pieces of foam laying around after my crypt wall and came up with this. I’m really not good at free handing things so the top portion may be a little lopsided. … Continue reading

My First Tombstone
So I was given a few pieces of foam awhile ago(its nearly impossible to find here in South Florida) and finally decided to make something out of it. The pieces I was given were an odd shape so I decided to make a grave marker. I really dont like the paint job on it mostly … Continue reading
Ghost Phone
This was my first real Halloween Prop that I made. Its a ghost phone that I came up with because I wanted to make something that TOTs could truly interact with and thought this was a unique idea. Plus I love building things like this and needed something that didnt take up too much space. … Continue reading
