Haunted Settlers

The OH (Other Half for any new fans) did it again. Stopped at the orange store and brought home some more friends. A 4-legged and some 2-legged. I REALLY need to finish up my layout planning. It's going to take a long time to get it out!

Super excited. The OH surprised me with a couple of THE must have items for this year. Not huge giants, but smaller, in store only creatures. Can't wait to add them in to the display. My ideas just keep growing.

Who's getting excited for spooky season??? These cool evenings are getting me in the mood! (Although I'd like to put my order in for short-weather due to my costume I'm planning!)

Brought home a new member to the yard last night. I am so excited for the new additions for this year. Hoping my vision for the new scene comes out the way I'm hoping!

We made it to the top 15. Now we need to make it to top 10. Problem is, after this next vote ends on July 30, I won't be able to post much about it as we head off for our yearly trip to Baxter shortly after. So we'll see.

Also in other, spooky related news, the item we ordered finally shipped! Yay!!!! Super excited to know its on its way. Also found another free item that I didn't know existed OR that we needed for our display. It's going to be so fun! Love coming up with creative ideas to keep things "fresh."

In the contest the OH and I are entered in, we made it through the first round. If you dont mind giving us a vote, all votes today through 8pm tonight count double!

One couple will share their love story in a Variety Magazine advertorial, take home $20,000, and enjoy a triple date with Jeff & Emilie Goldblum, plus Charlie Day & Mary Elizabeth Ellis.

Well, good news, bad news. We were able to place the order when our next big item went live on the orange site. However, we don't know if/when we will receive it. It is showing as backordered, despite the fact that we snagged it as soon as it went live and they are still showing some available on their site. I don't understand it. But we are hoping it's just a glitch and our order goes through and we get it.

YES! So happy, we got the one item we wanted. Now, the hunt will be on for clothing for this new scene. Hoping people like it!
