SUGAR PLUM FESTIVALS

Monday, October 6, 2025

Whirlwind and mayhem is what it's 
been since my last post!
I have been soooooo busy with Sugar Plum Festivals Halloween and the Haunted Mansion display that I had zero time for my blog. 

But Sugar Plum ended yesterday, it was a success for me and thanks to all who came out and supported me and the other artists and vendors!
Next will be Creep It Real FESTIVE in November! Be sure to purchase your tickets now, they 
sell out every year!
More info on that as soon as I receive it!

I will be creating more Nightmare Before Christmas hats and wreaths, sculptures and new unique pieces!

So back to my studio, back to Haunted Mansion display, and back to blogging!

It's good to be back!

Here are some of the creations I sold at Sugar Plum! Literally almost everything sold out!
I am so thankful and grateful to ALL!

Thanks again for supporting handmade creations!

Countdown to Haunted Mansion Halloween Display!


So far I feel like I've accomplished a lot - but then I look at my to-do list and I think UGH.


With 2 shows approaching fast and 63 days left till Halloween - my stress level is going higher...


But I'm determined to finish the props and display, and create Halloween goodies, even if it means working past the midnight hour!


The photos aren't the prettiest as far as foreground/background - but there's no time for that!


Don't worry - the best is yet to come when it is all up in t's spooky splendor!

The famous Donald Duck Chair - it's right after the floating candelabra in hallway...

I used a cricket to stencil the HM font and glow in the dark paint on an outdoor rug...

Covered 2 cake dummy rounds to create the birthday cake in the ballroom...

FINALLY got the Doom Buggy aka Egg Chair covered and sealed! Working on the lap bar...

Only "special" guests will receive a Death Certificate - who?! I'm not telling...yet!






I'm extremely proud and happy how the Caretakers Dog came out - it's almost spot on!

Another outdoor rug I painted - glows in the dark and will be at the entrance!

More to come!
