I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

Halloween Doll House & Trunk and Treats, 2025

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!

 
I am so happy you decided to stop by!!
 
Blogging has always been a stress reliever for me along with an avenue to share my passions which are my home and my garden.....
 
 I feel it is a personal Journal that, hopefully, someday, my Twin Granddaughters will be able to look back on to learn about who I was.... 

I will be posting 3 times a week on MONDAYS, THURSDAYS and SATURDAYS....
 

As always, click on each picture if you would like to enlarge it....

I enjoy reading your comments and will return the favor by visiting and commenting on your blog or reply to you directly here if you do not have a blog but I do have my comment section set to Moderation due to spammers and hackers so your comment will not appear immediately...

In my last post, over on my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas, I shared A new Tree and a small Christmas Haul for October's Rudolph Day....

 And now for a few Personal Notes...
 
 
 HAPPY HALLOWEEN WEEK!!!
 
  
 
 Let the festivities begin!!
 
 
TRUNK and TREATS..... 
 
On Saturday, my son Joey and I joined my DIL Danielle for a Car Show Trunk and Treat at the Mall which is right down the street from us... 
 
My twin granddaughters were dressed as Bingo ( Lily) and Bluey ( Gigi)..
 
 A few pics taken at home...
  

 
 Lily....
 
 
 
 
Gigi....
  


   
 
 Lily is giving us the Stink Eye!!

Danielle....
 

The Trunks.... 
 
 

 
  

 
 
 
  
 

 



 We all then walked over to the Mall and walked around the inside of the Mall....
 
Mimi and Uncle Joey thoroughly enjoyed this time spent with Danielle and the twins.... 
 
Unfortunately, my son Jim was at work but he enjoyed seeing all the pictures!! 
 
 
 On Sunday, I helped out with the 2nd Annual Halloween Party/Trunk & Treat in our Parish Center...
 
My church, Saint Maria Goretti, partners with Laflin borough, where the church is located, for community parties like this, a Christmas Party and an Easter Egg Hunt... 
 
The Trunks....
 

This is my friend Michelle, dressed as an Angel, is one of the secretaries and Director of Religious Education at our parish... 
  
 
This one gave out Shark Treats...
 



The Wizard of Oz....the Laflin's Library trunk with Nancy, who is the librarian...
 



  

 
This is Jeff, who was a friend of my husband's...
 

And his wife and granddaughter....


A great turnout through out the 2 hours that it was held....


After everyone got their Treats at the Trunks, they then came into the Parish Center for a Halloween party!!

Every child got a pumpkin and could decorate it....



They could play Pumpkin Bowling....
 

There were contests to try to win....
 


 Prices for the best costume and trunk were given out...
 
Pizza was served... 
 
 
 
Our Parish just purchased this huge warming tray that sits upon it's own table and can be rolled to whatever area in the hall that we want to...
  

ALL the pizza went!!
 
 There was a DJ playing Halloween Music and there was a Limbo contest...
 
 
And there was also a photo booth....
 
  
 
 One of Father Alex's favorite movies is Jurassic Park......
 
He even has his ring tone on his phone set to the theme song of the movie!!
 
This is "Dennis Nedry" from the original Movie.... 


And this is father Alex's Halloween costume......"Dennis Nedry"!!
 

Same shirts, ID badge and rain coat and he is holding the Barbasol can that Dennis tries to smuggle the Dinosaur embryo's out of the park in....
 

Everyone loved it!!
 
Father Alex is also a huge sports fan so he set up something in the church vestibule for fellow fans.... 
 
 
 
 A large TV so everyone who wanted to watch the Eagle's game could come in and do so or just run it to check the scores!! 
 

LOL!!
 
Danielle and the twins could not make it to this one....
 
It was a lot of fun though and I hope they can come to it next year... 
 
 
On Wednesday, Mimi and Uncle Joey will be joining Jim, Danielle and the Twins for a Malloween event where the stores inside the Mall are hosting Mall wide Trick or Treating...
 
We are looking forward to it!!! 
 
And on Halloween Eve, the apartment complex next to me, where both my sons live, will be hosting a Trunk and Treat so Mimi and Uncle Joey will be also going to that event, weather permitting, with Jim, if he can get out of work early, Danielle and the twins.... 
 
They hold it in the parking lot right outside of Joey's apartment....
 
We are so happy to be included in all this Halloween Fun!!
 
 
 
NELSON CREST

 
Today, I want to share how I decorated my Victorian Doll House for Halloween this year.... 
 
 
 
 I do love to decorate it for the different Seasons and Holidays.... 
 
  The left side yard....
 





The balcony off the Master Bedroom....

 
A ghost and a witch....

I hope you enjoyed seeing how I decorated Nelson Crest for Halloween this year...  
 
 
 
 I did enjoy it this Season!!
 
 
 
I do not normally decorate the Den , where Nelson Crest is located, for Halloween...
 
But I did put out my 2 Halloween Snow Buddy figurines.... 
 
 
 
On top of the computer armiore.... 

 


Truth be told, I am starting to decorate the Den for Christmas tomorrow as I like to have it done before Halloween....
 
Since I left up Christmas in the upstairs Sitting Room and Craft Room, I have managed to decorate the bathroom, the hall and my bedroom for Christmas already...
 
It usually takes me over 25 days to decorate the entire house for Christmas so I truly need to start early as I like to have it all done by Thanksgiving so I can sit back in December and enjoy it.... 


 I hope you will stop by to visit again on THURSDAY for my Annual Falloween Home Tour!!

 
 Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!

Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
