Favorite Halloween Tradition: Dancing Ghosts

How is this for a great tradition? Every Halloween since Andrew was a wee lad, my mom has set up these dancing ghosts in our yard. She appears with plastic pumpkin candy holders, sheets, and wooden stakes in hand and works her magic. Simple, but special.

Don’t the ghosts just make you smile?

    I’ll tell her, Stephanie. Thank you! A friend on Facebook just said that she knows someone who does this, and when Halloween is over she puts tinsel halos on them for Christmas!

Welcome

Hello! My name is Shannon Taylor. I'm a long-time writer and editor from Minnesota surprised to find myself on an island in the Pacific Northwest. I'm sharing this adventure with my husband, four kids, and two dogs. I “published” my first newsletter when I was nine, and I’ve loved sharing ideas, stories, and information ever since. I hope you find something here to inspire you and help you create a comfortable, cozy life.
