When do you start decorating ?

[ThackeryBinxs]

W0W! u make ur own invites and costumes and u started in june i got nasty looks from my own family members for getting decorations out of storage Today but i'll wait till september to put them up i wish could be as well planned out as u things usually happen at the last min for me last year i told 10 people i was having a small party 50 people showed up and i was out of candy,food and drinks by 8:30 i think i'll send invite this time i'm really excited about this halloween i just know it's gonna be great

I know what you mean about dirty looks. I mention the word "Halloween" on my family web site, and it's like I brok some cardinal rule or something. At any rate, I was looking through all my Halloween decorations the other night, replacing bulbs, dusting them off and getting prepared. Next month I do the Halloween cleaning.

I also need to order some firewood for my fire place before October arrives.

Here is my wreath at my office. It was officially my first Halloween decoration this year...July 20th!

[Pumpkin_Man]

Interesting. It looks like it could also be a Fall decoration as much as a Halloween one.

I keep a tiny pumpkin and pop-up ghost on my desk at work, but I keep them under my monitor or else I'll get razzed by my coworkers.

But come October 1st...

lol! I've been getting razzed by my coworkers since I first hung my wreath! I've added a couple gargoyles and crows to it since then. Most people in my office expect it, but they still look at me sideways occassionally. I don't mind because every October my office is visited by nearly every department employee due to my lavish decorations. They love it...eventually.

I wish I could have an office job. The closest was a two week assignment I got doing data entry. It only lasted two weeks, it was a temporary position. And I have a two year degree too! Well, it's in Individual studies, which is like a liberal arts degree. That turned out to be real useful. Not.
Of course, I returned to college for a medical administrative assistant major (With digital arts on the side since art is my true passion), so maybe I will get a nice desk job later on. In the mean time, I just have to put up with working at a grocery store. I wonder if my boss would let me decorate the store for Halloween...?
Even if she says no, the receptionist at my college said I could help decorate the campus!
Gah, I'm just dying to break out the Halloween decorations but I know my grandma would have a fit. In the mean time, I'm quite enjoying seeing them slowly come out in the stores.
Maybe I can get away with starting in September...maybe...hmm...

Time to dust off props and everything!

Wow! I'm getting ready as we are approaching the idea of August. Time to start dusting off the props, air out the masks,and get the fog machines cleaned.

Our time of year is vastly approaching!

[Pumpkin_Man]

I already have mine dusted. I plan to get the Halloween cleaning done early in September, and then on the 28th or around that time, the decoratins go up.

Wow I start the last day of September by then all the Halloween decorations will go up in the inside. I start working on my Halloween outdoor decorations in August I touched up some of my tombstones painted some dull areas. And this year I plan to try and make an Ice fog machine. Any opinions on if you like the idea or not. Then I start taking inventory this week , And I think this year since I'm buying a lot of new things might go up and buy some boxes for some of my decorations. October 10 they should all be up I will have some pics, Im going all out this year inside outside and around the sides.

i decorated some this weekend

[Firefighter_Barbie]

I normally get a few pieces up mid to end of September, then everything is out by the last week of October but pumpkins don't come out until halloween day usually or else they would get recked from my animals I always concentrate on my costume first since we never get many TOTers anymore and I leave every halloween night around 9 for our communty halloween festival.

[ImAWalkingCorpse]

I put my stuff up tonight, I am going to buy a few new things in order to get it all going in the next week.

[Pumpkin_Man]

I don't know aout tonight, but I will be putting my things up at the end of the month, probably on the 28th, but no later then the 30th. I also do plan, as soon as I'm back on my feet, to purchase a few new items to put up, and I would REALLY love to get a couple of "black light" florescent tubes for my living room light.
