Halloween is the one time of the year to get creative and dress up in a unique one of a kind costume. I spend a lot of time to think of what to dress as. Each year I try to go out a few times so that I can dress up in various different ways. … Read more
This costume was inspired by a picture of a storm figurine statue I saw online. I like original ideas and felt this was it. I was always into art but never did anything with my talent. I became an RN and felt like I lost myself and the things I truly enjoyed. I’ve recently tried … Read more
This is 3 month old son Collin. He has teamed craziest longest hair for such a little guy. It always sticks straight up in the air and one day I thought it looks like he was struck by lightning. Further thought made me think, hey, that would be a great Halloween costume!!! So here is … Read more
Here’s how we made our “Struck by Lightning” couple costume for under $20! Woman’s Outfit: The outfit starts with an old umbrella cut apart to appear to be destroyed by a lighning bolt.

My daughter has naturally crazy hair so I wanted to use that to my advantage and came up with the idea of struck by lightning baby costume. To Make the Costume I took a onesie, cut holes in it and then burned the edges. I also put dark eyeshadow in spots to make it look dirty. … Read more
My 4 year old son told me last Spring that he wanted to be a Sharknado for Halloween (after he saw Sharknado 2). I laughed it off, but as fall got closer, he wouldn’t let up and I knew I had to figure it out. I made one that fell apart in minutes at the … Read more

I started with the top of the tornado, using wire to create two different sized circles that connected. I used a frame for a wreath that I found at a craft store and manipulated. I … Read more
