I took a bunch of Halloween houses outside to take a picture while it is not raining. These are most of the houses I have done for the "Houses for Habitat" fundraiser. I still need to make a few more decorations - pumpkins, owls, cats, etc. And I am always working on more houses. I finished the second bat wing house which I will write about later. All of these houses use the same basic pattern with variations on rooflines, finishes, windows, etc. But the basic house structure is the same template.

Great! Looks like a Tim Burton movie set - wonderful, imaginative and so creative.

Lucy, these are just fabulous! All the houses work well together to create a creeeeeeepppppyyy scene. The stone house is a real knock out. I can envision Elm Street surrounding a cemetery with headstones! And a bolt of lightning hitting the top of one house... I am getting really carried away by your village!
But where is that Count Dracula silhouette I saw earlier in your bat wing house?
