My mom is finally purchasing her own home after waiting 8 years, getting a divorce, losing a business and having to struggle for every step she has taken.  As absolutely thrilled as I am for her, I think my favorite part of the whole thing is I get to decorate her home for Halloween.  I enjoy it far more than I do decorating for Christmas.  Spooky little details, frightening the kiddies into earning their candy, is far more enjoyable to me than reindeer throw-up and plastic Santas grinning eerily from the front lawn.

I almost always have a theme when I do my decorating, so I need to come up with a good one for her home this year.  I've done "A Night at the Opera", a fortune teller's booth at my apartment, and a witch's apothecary last year.  I have a pretty gruesome head that hangs upside down, jars and bottles, light up bones, a setup for a graveyard, purple strings of lights, eyeballs that glow... anyone have any ideas?  I will be posting pictures (of course) afterwards, and I'm always open to suggestions.  I want it to be incredible, since it's her first year living there.

Speaking of Halloween, what should I be this year?  Hmmm....
