Hi everyone, For those of you coming across my site in search of Halloween costumes to purchase or for help on Halloween costumes, this post is just a gentle reminder that I do not sell my costumes, and I am not open to take commissions for custom costumes at this time (and, due to my relatively new job, I am not sure if I will have time to do commissions ...
Yesterday's weather was awful. It rained and stormed all day, with high winds. Last year we didn't have as many trick-or-treaters as before and the weather was fine, so I figured, this bad weather is going to chase the bulk of them off - I'll be surprised if we get 5 trick-or-treaters. At least we had good candy that would eventually get eaten (Reese's!). Well the rain stopped around 5 and then ...
So I was just going to link my ages old posts on spooky stuff I have here on my blog from my livejournal days - but they're so old that they're hidden, so I decided to just rewrite them and share them with a decades-later perspective. I grew up loving ghost stories - especially "true" ones, and admittedly had (have) an over-active imagination. I ...
Besides our Hocus Pocus photoshoot, we've already done a handful of Halloween-related events, so I thought I'd go ahead and post a few photos. Last week I actually won a contest on facebook, getting free tickets to go see a showing of Hocus Pocus on the big video screen at Redbirds Stadium. Kevin and I both wore our Hogwarts uniforms, since it was rather chilly out. We didn't get to ...
Do I have time to rush-make a complete costume for your Halloween party? You've waited til exactly a week before Halloween to ask, and you want it for 1/10 the price of what I would charge even IF I did commissions? Oh, so now you're asking to borrow one of my costumes? So, overall, the answer is...
Yay! It's October! I've been using that gif everywhere.
I never mind helping anyone build a costume, ever. As long as I have time, I always try to help other costumers out, because I've gotten a helping hand myself countless times. Helping each other is one of the biggest positives about the community. That being said, I have been inundated with commission requests and requests for help on costumes. More-so than any other year before! And it's not even ...
I hope everyone had a very fun & happy halloween this year! Ours was rather low-key. At work, my team decided to be Mad Scientists, so I threw together a last-minute Dr. Forrester costume. Kevin was our creature! He stayed in character all day, too. We stayed home last night to hand out candy, and sadly did not have near as many trick-or-treaters as we have the past few years, ...
Put on Snow White to hand out candy tonight - ran out of candy way sooner than we expected! My favourite was an older kid wearing a gorilla mask and a convict-type suit, carrying a Disney Princess bag. He didn't say anything but kept pointing to Snow White on his bag excitedly, LOL. Here's our pumpkins - Snow White - And Chase's adorable penguin suit because I never posted it.
We went and picked out pumpkins last night and carved them! Well, Chase and Ash carved pumpkins, I emptied ours out (the only part I like) and then sat in the living room and watched Simpsons' Halloween specials until they were done LOL Ash did a Cyberman: And Chase did one of ours, Mike Wazowski: We're also doing a Sully on the bigger pumpkin, haven't started it yet. Also: We've ...
