This got me thinking about our Halloween decor this year. Last year, I did a search for the words "victorian" and "civil war" and printed some of those images. I put them on the wall going up the stairs. This year, I actually had them made out into different sized photos and placed them in frames. I added a few spiderwebs, some candles and black roses and it really has the creepy effect I was looking for. We were heading up to bed one night when we started talking about these pictures. Both Rodrigo and I were creeped out for a minute thinking that these were real people that are now dead and we have no idea who they were. -shudder- Heebie Jeebies!
This is what you see as soon as you walk in through our front door. . .
This display is in our living room (on the other side of the above picture) . . . .

I have to admit it looks way better at night!
feeling: into the Halloween spirit
listening to: I just realized I'm not playing any music. All day I've had "A Kiss is not a Contract" stuck in my head. Too funny!

That's a great idea! I'm trying to come up with some Halloween decor as well.
I HAVE to see that doc! I LOVE others' old photos. Whenever we go to flea markets, I look through the boxes of them, which many vendors seem to have. I have a couple of a dog that looks so much like my Little Guy that I framed them and have them on display.
We went to a cool Halloween thing this past weekend at this Victorian "museum." I think you would've enjoyed it. I hope to blog about it soon. Stay tuned.
