"un-Dead Meadow" My first yard haunt

[Darkwalker]

Okay I got one more progress pic of the lil coffin.
I've been sanding all day so most everything is ready for paint. Except my tombstones. I'm having a hard time deciding what to write on them.

That is always the hardest part for me also. Sometimes it takes me days to come up with the right words or name. Anyway, the coffin is looking great.

"Making" the inhabitants of your cemetery? I've never thought about that. I've always just dug mine up. And the cops really frown on that.

Yeah. I live in a fairly small town too. So if I'd run the risk of my visitors recognizing deceased family members if I did that.
It sure would make things easier though

Oh well. Back to carving tombstones.

This is great...thanks for posting pictures. I too, am just starting my yard haunt so I understand how you feel about all the ideas running through your head. You are doing a great job! My problem is I don't know how to make half the stuff I wish I could make, lol...I plan on having a gravestone making party soon with the family soon so I can get some help (all yard haunters). It looks like you are amazingly good at building things! It's very inspirational to see your pics.

Thank you so much. Your in the right place here. Everyone here is very willing to lend advice. And very welcoming to us noob haunters.
Getting the fam involved is great. The kids and I just wrapped up painting all the stuff I've posted pics of.
Let us know when you got some pictures.

Thanks Just Whisper. Thanks to everyone for your kind comments.
It's tremendously helpful.
These tombstones almost got the better of me. But I've got plans for them!
I just don't have the patience for carving them with a Xacto knife. I tried and I just cannot sit still that long. So I got a attachment for my dremel that I hope will make it easier. It's funny. I started on them first but they may be the last thing finished.
