This topic seems to be all around me recently. If you Google the word "connections" all sorts of connections appear… books, TV shows, films, schools, computers, Linkedin, a MIT museum exhibit, and that's just the first page. The connections I am interesting in chatting about here are personal connections. People to People, and the connections we all encounter daily.
I follow a blog by John Paul Caponigro, a contemporary photographer whose works I admire and enjoy. He apparently is having some similar thoughts, for on the 13 of Jan, his posting was of 28 of his favorite quotes on being connected. Here are two of my favorite ones from his listing…(all of them are here)
"When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it is attached to the rest of the world" – John Muir
"We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects." — Herman Melville
So here is a connection, chance (?), coincidence? I was chatting with a friend about (coincidentally (!)) coincidences. Pondering the questions of this post – i.e connections, verses chance verses coincidence. He brought up Moby Dick and some thoughts from that. I thought, hmm, I never read that and I would like too. Now a quote I happen to pick is from Herman Melville – which I had to think about whom he even was…and the list goes on and one each week. It happens to us all, it's just if you happen to notice.
Back to human connections. You smile to a stranger, you nod to a passerby, you kiss your spouse and children goodnight, you laugh with a friend(s)…you cry with a friend(s), you help a friend, you help a stranger; those are all unquestionably connections. But, did you call your friend at just the right time they needed you? Maybe your smile made a big difference to a lonely strangers day? You get the point. Remember the saying – Every action has a reaction – all those actions connect the threads of our days, years, "beings" – therefore, all things we do have connections of one kind or another. "A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men. Our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects." – Herman Melville (again)
Granted, some connections are strong, some are positive, and some are not. It's all about balance. You breathe in the good ones, and with some thought and luck, you can breathe out and spread/share the good. Try to let go of the lesser and negative ones. Maybe you can breathe them out as well, but without the intent of sharing. The power of intent is the difference here. I suppose the point here is – just what do you do with the gazillions of connections over a day, a week, a year, a lifetime?
Lets agree, at least for the time it takes you to read this post, that we ARE all connected. Remember from above – "A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men." Even if it is just by some minuscule air molecules, or maybe by some "energy," or maybe from some spiritual "force" that you can call/name whatever makes you comfortable and happy, lets agree we all are indeed connected in some way, shape, or form. Therefore, since we are all connected here is my challenge to you. If you tried just a little harder to "make a connection" that was a little out of comfort zone, what would that be? What ripple effect would like to create out there?
I am not talking about "World peace" – obviously we all would like that…but something much closer to home. I have had a few really spectacular connections of late, the two that first come to mind are – 1) meeting a stranger whom I was able to help in ways beyond words, and 2) a random meeting up with an neighbor (that I have not seen since Oct.) that has information that is potentially very helpful to me. My own "out of comfort zone" challenge is – to stop thinking about writing my book(s) and get writing- for the ripple(s) of the good messages the books can disseminate are exciting! I can potentially connect to so many more people! Another is … well really now, don't you think it's your turn to tell me?
"The people who are close to us bring untold meaning and value to our lives. When we are with the people who we care the most about, our social activities become something that is not only fun but also that contributes to our overall sense of interconnectedness and well being – for it is though our friends that we see just how rich and abundant our lives truly are. Inviting our friends to do things with us is one simple way to allow this feeling to infuse our lives with this sense of bounty. Being grateful for what your friends add to your life will let you recognize the gifts that the universe has given you today." -Daily OM
"An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind." – Buddha
"Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief". – Marcus Tullius Cicero
"The language of friendship is not words but meanings." – Henry David Thoreau
"Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together." – Woodrow T. Wilson
"There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate." ― Linda Grayson"
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom." – Marcel Proust
"A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow." – William Shakespeare
Got it? Get it? Enough said…
Thanks to all my friends and…
Thanks to all the friends of The Botanical Beauties Community.
Winter rains….
…grayness…fog….haze…mist…and soggy steps. As I look out my window today there really no other word for the weather but GLUM and GLOOMY. It's not cold, so it's raining instead of snowing. As a matter of fact, it is 47 degrees at this very moment outside here! Very odd. Some folks are smiling, and others are frowning, about the warmth. I find it a mixed bag, it is pleasant not to have cold feet and cold sheets but it is also very odd, wrong, and there is nothing bright, reflective, and pretty about rain. (I know there are indeed beautiful rain days at other times of the year, and there are gorgeous photographs with rain reflections, but I hope you get what I am talking about here.) The reflective properties of snow add a brightness and clarity on a cold sunny winter day that really can't be beaten. Rain does not.
It is the notion of 'soggy steps' I am really fascinated with right now. Clearly there is the literal of soggy steps walking outdoors. What about the figurative, what thoughts come to mind with those same words? To me, it brings forth that same old theme of "letting go" but now it's letting go AND walk into/onto new paths. Soggy steps sound like your feet rise and with every step, muck, goop, and other 'icky' things we would rather not be carrying around come up with your foot. This goop can stick to our hands as well and even hover overhead! It makes for very heavy steps, hard slow movement and an overall malaise to the day! I'm as guilty as the next person of heavy steps in the winter. It seems very tough this time of year. For starters it's often dark, less sun, early sunsets, and everyone is inside much of the time. It is very isolating, with much less human contact than a vibrant spring day. It seems to take more energy to find things to smile and laugh at, and that's really horrid! Then, if the dark and isolation isn't enough, there is often a bitting cold up here in the North! It's a plain hard truth: it is harder to be happy when your face hurts because a bitter cold wind is blowing and you are out walking your very dear, loyal, and fabulous friends who happen to have 4 legs!
So again the question is- how to get rid of that sticky goop attached to our appendages and possibly even over our heads? Maybe it's a simple as the Dao of winter states?
Winter – The Dao of Storage 藏之道
The three months of winter are called closing and storing.
Water freezes earth cracks. Do not disturb the yang at all.
Early to bed, late to rise. (One) must await the daylight.
Make that which is of the heart/mind as though hidden,
as though concealed, as though (one) has a secret intention,
already obtained. Leave the cold, seek warmth.
Do not leak the skin (sweat). Urgently hold onto the chi.
This is the winter compliance of chi
and the cultivation of the Dao of storage.
To oppose these principles injures the kidneys.
(Consequently) spring will bring paralysis and fainting
(and) there will be little to offer one's sprouting.
(Nei Jing Chapter 2) http://www.energyarts.com/taoist-seasons-winter-water-element
Clearly some this is not really possible or do even agree with … such as "Early to bed, late to rise. (One) must await the daylight." Most of us don't really have that luxury most days. (And)" Do not leak the skin (sweat)" I think movement is very important, it's all too easy to want to curl up and just sit, or lay, around, in the winter! Movement is good for the mind and body, we all know that!
Whatever it takes- Shake that booty, especially your feet and hands, and shake that goop off! Lighten your steps, hop though the soggy and maybe dance onto that new path! (…or at least try to!) Stomp out the goop and lets hope for a sunny tomorrow!
Quiet days…or not?
Well Thanksgiving Day is behind us…Hunukka (or Chanukah if you prefer ends 12/5) is still with us…Christmas and New Years are around the corner… Then there is also Boxing Day (12/26) for the English in you… Kwanza (12/26-1/1) for those that honor African heritage, and the Winter Solstice (12/21 at 17:11) for ALL OF US. In fact if you look up Winter Holidays on Wikipedia there are 28 listed for December! Many of these holidays revolve originally around lights. Winter is dark! Winter is for a storing of energy! Look at the hibernating bears, dormant plants and trees in nature, they are all using stored fuel. When the sun is out in the winter, and it's a crisp clear cold day, it is exhilarating. It's as if you can feel the energy stored in the earth and sky too! Store up those feelings, wrap up that energy, and take hold of the good. Reflect, restore, renew…its sort of like recycling.
Is your Self Mold intact?
There are Jello molds, mold spores, molds for objects, and molds for just about everything. This post is about how we have molded, and continue to mold ourselves. The 'self' mold has to posses both rigid strength as well as ultimate flexibility and flow. Pretty tough to do at times. I state the obvious-we are entering the winter months. A time we often 'hunker down' and take stock of ourselves inside and out. According to Taoism, the winter is the season of the Water Element. (This is why todays illustration of Breaking out of your mold is featuring Moe, Minister of Clean Water.) At first the concept of winter as the water season was puzzling to me, but as I have pondered it for about a year now it is making more sense. The quote below is from The 5 Elements in Taoism.
" Water is the energy phase associated with winter, when the Yin force is prevalent. The winter is a time of rest and quiet, when energy is saved, gathered, condensed, conserved and stored. Water is a very concentrated element containing great potential, a great power waiting to be liberated. In the human body water is associated with essential fluids like hormones, lymphatic liquids, marrow, enzymes, all with great energetic potential. Its color is black or midnight blue. It is the color that contains all the other colors in concentrated form. In nature, water evaporates under excess heat; in human beings water's energy disperses because of excess stress and strong emotions. The way to conserve water's energy is with quiet and rest, by staying "cold". http://www.healing-tao.com.br/en/alchemy/elements.htm
As we approach the winter, the cold, the still, the frozen water, our personal work should be well in progress. Our personal mold may indeed need some shaping, that's where the flexibility and flow comes in. We may need to change a piece of the mold, we may need to remix and/or reshape a chunk of the mold, or maybe the mold is broken and needs some repair. Only you know. It's all ok, it's all part of our every changing lives, your story. One of the great things I learned in yoga this week, where this mold idea was planted for me, is that no matter what has chipped, eroded or weakened in/on your personal mold, at the core of your mold is your spirit and no one can hopefully ever take that away. So get out those chisels, those picks and reshapers and have a go at it! Nothing is static and really, neither are you.
In Chinese philosophy (Taoism, Daoism) "Nothing in the Universe is fixed, static or non moving; per se everything is transforming all the time…" http://www.nationsonline.org
PS: Remember, the next season is Spring- it is explosive with energy and potential! Enjoy the rest of winter, you are realize you are just getting ready for the Spring! It is called The Wood phase and is all about expansion, happiness and is explosive!
The stories of our lives
(Image at story end) Each and everyone one of us goes about our moments, days, tasks, and events every day. These small and large journeys make up the stories of our lives. These stories have definitive beginnings (our births) as well as the obvious definitive end. One of the amazing things is that "end" is partly a fuzzy ending to those of us that march on after the passing of a person. The stories obviously continue in memories but also happen in new events. What? How? Is she out her mind? No, I am not.
I recently attended a wonderful life event. A Wedding. All the hopeful and expected trimmings were present, the guest from near and far, happiness was everywhere, and love was clearly in the air! Two people, each with their own stories, now are lucky enough to start a marvelous new joint story. One of the really cool things is that the two independent stories continue, and now we have three stories. This is a case were the math is a little askew and 1+1=3! I believe a good union means each person is still their single story, but the joined/couple story is equally important, and so becomes a shared third story. The journeys, the paths, and the stories will unfold as the years roll by, and we all wish them only the best and the happiest of stories! My personal journeys, and so my stories, are unique to myself, as is every one of us. So back to the fuzzy part… I was "sans one" instead of "plus one" at this life event – but my "one" knew, and loved, the wedding family of the groom, it's the grooms mum who is our original connection to this wonderful wedding. My "one" had heard all the stories, he knew the characters, and we would often, in the more recent years, spend holidays and special times together. I am sure that he too was wishing the new bride and groom only the best and all the love. So, although he was not part of the physical wedding story, he will never not be part of my story, past, present and even future. For me, he too, was indeed at the wedding, clearly not in the usual way, he didn't have to worry about what to wear and we didn't get to dance together, but he was positively there in my heart and in the love that was in the air. He is part of the reason I am who I am today. The people who come into our lives, and make imprints on us, are all part of our stories.
The fabric of the story continues to get woven each day, each path, each journey, each awareness, you get the idea… It's a good thing. The woven fabric may get tattered at times, may even get a few holes, but other times it seems to have gold threads woven into it, sometimes it just grows calmly, slowly and steadily – all are part of the story. As hard at times as it seems to understand "the story," all the threads, the weaving, the tatters, the gold, are what they are supposed to be. They are our individual stories.
Sunday was the earths transformation from summer to fall….The fall 2013 season officially began at 4:44 pm EDT (I just love that love that time,- 4:44, something is wonderful sounding about 4:44, its magical and mystical sounding.) The autumnal equinox is when the sun crosses directly over the Earth's equator and both day and night are about equal. The word itself, equinox, comes from the Latin words for equal night.
I've been thinking a lot about transformations. As the earth makes this very pronounced transformation what does that do to us as humans? Does it encourage us to think about changes? Does it intimidate us to think about changes? Do we "hunker down" pre winter, or do we scurry about because there isn't much time left before winter? As the abundance of earth's harvest is dying down, the earth itself is bringing it back into the ground to rejuvenate and re-charge itself for next spring and summer…We tend to want to slow down a bit now too…to "bring it all in" a bit too, we wrap our selves literally and figuratively in sweaters and blankets, but mostly we don't think of it as a "re-charge." I don't like the less daylight, less sun shine,and there is no doubt about it, it feels more serious than summer frolics…but the changes of the Fall Season here in New England can indeed be glorious. It's a wonderful time to be outside and soak in the air, the crispness, the colors and the last of the warmer sun rays. To come in after a fall walk and have a cup of hot tea, a fire in the fireplace, a warm blanket and a good book, these are all the luxuries of fall. All that said, many folks often seem to have more of a mini-panic as they feel the pressure of all the "shoulds" they feel that need to happen before winter…perhaps it may be better to slow down, to rethink, have to have positive INTENT and then move forward. Transformations are often really good things…but lets do them in a balanced and self purposeful way, not resolutions we must do, but a dedication to things we want to change, to balance, to reshape our lives with positivity. Like the seasons change, so do our lives, there is no stopping that. It is all transformational. Is there a transformation you are working on?
Oh, and I almost forgot… another great thing about fall – we get to take out our fun boots and fun hats! Not our winter stuff, but all those fun boots and hats that are too hot to wear in the warmer months and now its cool again! Hallelujah -(happens to be a great song playing on my iRadio right now too! ) Birdelini and I love our boots and hats!
The Wonderful, Fabulous, Beekman Boys and BEEKMAN 1802
Wahoo!!!!!! Check out the link!
It starts out saying..
At Beekman 1802, we are always inspired by the artisans we work with to create our products, but we also get inspired by people we meet "along the way". We met artist Liz Carren at an event earlier this year and were inspired by her "starting life over" story. She'll be one of the 150 vendors at this year's Sharon Springs Harvest Festival. Find her booth and say 'hi'.
The Beekman Boys are true to their words, they said they would do it and they did! A
little, make that A LOT, of PR for Heirloom Charlie and so The Botanical Beauties & Beasties too!!!!! Heirloom Charlie IS UP and On the Beekman Boys – 1802 Beekman Website ( http://beekman1802.com/heirloom-charlie/) and FB page (https://www.facebook.com/FabulousBeekmanBoys) …ahem, they have 94,852 Likes on their FB page- it's got to help our PR and help get us to our goal of helping feed some families that need a bit of help!
Join us at The Harvest Fest this weekend!
and from The Beekman Website as well…
"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.–T. Roosevelt
When we started the Sharon Springs Harvest Festival 5 years ago, we dreamed it to be an occasion to celebrate the harvest from our local farmers and a day to bring the community together. The first year we were thrilled when 500 people showed up to the one day event. Last year, imagine our surprise when over 8000 people over two days came to visit our little village. Why? No other reason than it's a weekend to acknowledge what is good about small town America. We want you to come by and say 'hi' to everyone."
Perseverance pays off- hopefully in spades!
• And More big news. Every time We, The Botanical Beauties & Beasties and myself, are out and about in public, at shows or wherever, many folks ask, "Where's the book?" "Do you have a book out yet?" Or, I hear them say, "You know, you ought to write a book" and on and on it goes, Well, 2 years later, I am finally "on it" – I am actually writing a book. I have about 1/2 of it drawn and the first draft of the words are also about 1/2 down on paper, well actually in the computer so digital paper. I plan it to be a series, starting with Heirloom Charlie, and for small children. Each book will feature one character, introduce another (which will naturally be the next in the series) and gently tell about the characters story/cause. The last part of each book will be about community and helping one another in the small and big details. I am hoping to be able to keep all the cost down, and be able to "package" 3 or 4 of the books together with ribbon, much like a "card packs" I do now. I'm excited, and working away over here in my land of BBB3! If anyone has any great ideas, or knowledge that can help- please, bring it on!
After a summer of "busy" we finally got back to yoga class this week!
Naturally Birdelini was there and this evening Rosie went too. Our teacher started the class out, as she always does, with asking to think about and set our intent for the class. Intent takes away expectations – the "shoulds" of the day, the "shoulds" of our minds. Intent is what you want/need to work with on FOR YOURSELF. You bring yourself to the yoga mat to calm your mind and body, to help manage the stress and the turns of the day – to stretch your body and mind. Intent is not a goal, it's a process …Intent does NOT equal expectations. Intent is actually to help erase those expectations, to be a little easier on yourself, to not think it all has to happen, especially not all at one time, season, even year.
Rosie settled right into class and enjoyed it throughly. I am starting my second series of yoga prints with poses that help open the heart, open palm living. This drawing is the first of that series (Series #2. Series #1 is "Grounding Poses.")
"Anjali Mudra is an excellent way to induce a meditative state of awareness. Start your practice sitting in meditation in Anjali Mudra for 5 minutes. You can also use this hand position in Tadasana prior to beginning the Sun Salutation sequence, contemplating the "sun" or light of awareness the yogis say is resident in your heart.
- Reduces stress and anxiety
- Calms the brain
- Creates flexibility in the hands, fingers, wrists, and arms
- Opens the heart "

Infinity Dance Theater & Pi Dance Theater Present Productions Featuring Dancers With and Without Disabilities, 11/15-11/18
Infinity Dance Theater and Pi Dance Theatre present two richly diverse productions, "The Women's Stories Project" and "Elements" featuring dancers with and without disabilities performing at Judson Memorial Church in Greenwich Village this weekend, from November 15 through November 18.
First, Infinity Dance Theater presents the premiere of The Women's Stories Project. Conceived and created by Kitty Lunn, The Women's Stories Project features five amazing women, with courage and resourcefulness to spare, who tell their stories of love, loss, illness, and aging. Depressing? Not at all. The 75-minute work is just the opposite - it's funny, sad, ironic, and unexpected.
Kitty Lunn, who also narrates, begins with her solo "In Time Like Air," created for her by Peter Pucci to a haunting saxophone solo by Don Cherry.
Lunn is followed by longtime dancer Lynn Barr, dealing with the loss of her husband of 50 years.
Sister Margaret, an outspoken Catholic nun for nearly 60 years, speaks about the trials of her life, vocation, and mission.
Lucy lost her mother to breast cancer and, after burying her mother in Puerto Rico, discovered she had the same cancer. She underwent difficult treatment and discovered her own strength through art, music, and dance. Lucy took up belly dancing and Puerto Rican Bomba dancing, which she will demonstrate on the program.
The company's scholar is Alice, a native of England, a professor of Medieval Literature, and proficient in 14 medieval languages. She became a wheelchair user as a result of an acquired spinal disease.
Marcia Bernstein adds a haunting vocal as the women weave The Common threads of their lives. Though these endearing women represent different ages, races, and walks of life, they represent all of us, connected through common threads of humanity, in this celebration of the triumph of the human spirit. Performances of The Women's Stories Project will be sign language interpreted.

BEIRUT – An al-Qaida-linked group fighting in Syria has released video of the first American to carry out a suicide attack in the country's civil war, showing him smiling and saying he looked forward to going to heaven.
The Nusra Front released the video late Friday showing U.S. citizen Moner Mohammad Abu-Salha, 22, with other fighters before the May 25 attack that targeted several army positions at the same time. It said two of the other three suicide attackers in the assault in the government-held northwestern city of Idlib were from foreign countries, including one who was identified as being from the Maldives.
Abu-Salha appears smiling in the video and speaks in broken Arabic.
I want to rest in the afterlife, in heaven. There is nothing here and the heart is not resting, Abu-Salha says. Heaven is better. When people die they either go to heaven or hell. There is happiness beyond explanation.
The video, released by Nusra Front's media arm, al-Manara al-Baydha, was posted on jihadi websites. It corresponded with Associated Press reporting about the attack and Abu-Salha.
Opposition forces previously identified the American who carried out the bombing as Abu Hurayra al-Amriki and said he was a U.S. citizen. The name al-Amriki means the American in Arabic.
It's unknown how many people were killed in the bombing. Opposition rebels with the Nusra Front said Abu-Salha's truck was laden with 16 tons of explosives to tear down the al-Fanar restaurant, a gathering site for Syrian troops. The other suicide attackers targeted nearby army positions.
Abu-Salha grew up in Florida and attended several colleges before dropping out and moving abroad.
Thousands of foreign fighters have come to Syria from around the world to fight against President Bashar Assad's forces after the uprising against his government began three years ago.
The war has since taken on sectarian overtones, pitting a Sunni-led insurgency that includes al-Qaida-inspired extremists against a government dominated by Assad's minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.

Perfect dinners in a pinch with 316 quick-and-easy recipes!
When my husband and I want to use up extra ingredients or leftovers from different dinners, we toss them into a salad for a quick and satisfying meal. Keeping a head of lettuce on hand ensures we can create a salad whenever it's time to clean the fridge! It's easy to make a chef's salad when you start with leftover deli meat, grilled chicken or steak. Shred a small chunk of cheddar or mozzarella, toss in whatever veggies you have on hand, hard-cook the last few eggs left in the carton, and sprinkle wheat germ or crunchy nuts over the top.

My spider must have cataracts because it worked great during the day, triggering from 10 feet away, but at night, you almost had to kick it to get it to jump. I attached the "Jump Here" trigger pad which worked a little better.
Everyone loved it. Even the children who fell into my garden in their attempt to escape
We used several of these spiders in our spider room at our haunted attraction. The best way to use these is indirect lighting, with a strobe effect.
We have a garden with high planet in front this is were we put the spider. Scared the pants off the kids every time. I knew it was there and continued to scare me LOL!
Used as a prop for Halloween party/trick or treating! Life like, scared the beegeezous out of adults and kids as they unassumingly walked by and it activated by motion and came to life. Sound was loud and scarey! Perfect Hallowween prop. Have the brown one getting the black one for next years Halloween!
I used this jumping spider in our entryway next to our candy bowl table. It's great to use with the foot pad so that it's not continuously setting off in high traffic areas or scaring little kids that don't want to see it. Its legs are posable so you can make it looks like it's attacking or just crawling around. The accompanying sounds are also unique with even a little sound effect just before the pounce. Highly recommended.
This thing has brought me to tear from laughing so hard. Just startling someone is one thing but when they see a huge hairy spider its all startle again. This is the coolest thing. I hid it in my trunk to surprise courtesy clerks at grocery stores. I left it in my break room at work all day and heard screams all day. The front porch on Halloween may have been alittle mean, but parents loved it.
Easy to use, great scary product!
I put this guy in a web covered box in my haunted garage, worked great! Lots of scare's and laugh's.he does the job. Only problem was it needs a little weight in the back.
This was great in the yard. It was fun to watch people jump.
The spider is a great addition to a halloween haunt. Spider springs up at a fast rate. down side is the sensor slopes down at the ground so it would not trigger all the times.
We had this for our haunted trail and it was the biggest hit this year and we will be buying more for next year for sure, with the footpads.
Every year we set up a large grave yard for Halloween and used this to scare the trick or treators when they walked by. It worked perfectly and had many laughs over it.
Absolutely LOVED the reaction from my party guests! Giant leaping spider was behind a bush by the front door. The screams immediately after the doorbell rang were hilarious!
This will be used to scare/startle the folks that come to our house on Halloween for tricks or treats.
We went to your store in Casper, Wyoming and have wanted one of these jumping spiders ever since. I had no idea that they had a website and when i checked locations saw the Casper store. We were very impressed when we saw one of the stores and actually spent over 2 hours looking around and bought some stuff. We have had a lot of fun with the jumping spider since I got it. Scared all the kids and even my husband along with the dog and cat.
The brown spider looks great, and scares everyone. Love my jumping spider!
We used these items in our Haunted house, it was a blast and the kids enjoyed the Jumping Spider
Love this ! Super scary when it jumps, everyone screams ! Super fast shipping, got it on Halloween !! Thank you !
Set it out so it would be triggered about 10 feet before they got to the door. Used a giant web in the background.
Had a couple screamed so loud the next door neighbors came out! Outdid "Leatherface" across the street at times.
Had a few husbands set up their wives (I am sure they slept on the couch that night).
A few spotted the trigger, but after getting their treat they forgot and triggered it leaving -- even better!
Best money ever spent on our huge holloween collection. This jumping spider really made them jump! Got way more screams than $200 to $300 animatronics. Highly Reccomend!
This thing lasted for over 4 hours scaring wave after wave of people entering our haunted house. Great buy!
I put this on my porch with the pressure pad under my door mat. Trick or Treaters stepped on mat and activated jumping spider.
This was the first focal point in my haunted house. Great scare to satart the haunted tour.
spider is great! startles us even when we know it's happening and we are not spider fans so even better!lol It is loud though. I would definitely recommend it. Received it and didn't work. Manufacturer no help but Spirit was awesome and handled it immediately and replaced it so I had it in time for Halloween party.
Bought this to add to the scary Haunted Potch we do at our home. Kids and adults both got a big kick out of the lunging spider. Loved the spooky crazy sounds it makes and it really did make person after person jump back in shock when it leaped out at folks! Great product!
USED outside in our Halloween display and it was awesome!!
I got this thinking it would be fun :) it did not disappoint . It was on sale for 39.00 and scared almost every trick or treater :) loved it
Scares the living daylights out of everyone. I have it on my desk at work. This needs to come with the foot switch, not extra, I made my own. Also, even in foot switch mode it triggers occasionally. Good battery life.
Placed it mid-way through our haunted house. A couple of guests almost crashed through the walls trying to get away. Very fun! Lots of screams!
