These are just wonderful photos!

Your indoor um...kitty monument to the trumpster is beyond genius!

And I love your front yard cemetery, esp the grave marked Vacancy!

Very imaginative of you.

Happy Hallowe'en!

We did make it taller than the rest (a la Trump Tower) and didn't carve this one like some of the others since we are planning on it being a temporary addition. If for some godforsaken reason he actually gets elected, we will make it into a more permanent model.

Don't want to seem picky, but
if you added a couple pairs of arms coming up from the ground, it would be an extra-cool touch, IMO.
(If you're not already too tired from doing all that other work).

We don't put them out until actual Halloween because we're afraid they will grow legs. They're made out of resin. Bought them from the Toscana catalog for my hubby for Christmas.

Your fence is just perfect for it. I wish someone around here took as much effort on my favorite day. I live in an apartment, so my options are much more limited.

Out of ripped 1x2" stock and pvc. We started decorating for the holidays after we moved into this neighborhood. We couldn't decorate at our old house because the kids would vandalise or steal the decorations. We even had to pad lock our Xmas lights to our bushes.

I made a cardboard standup of scooby doo's mystery machine tonight.

Some homeowners have actual graves and graveyards in their yards. Something you see in this part of the country.
