I decided to dress my baby up for Halloween last minute. We had most of the items to make this baby Scarecrow costume, so it probably cost less than $5. It’s pretty self-explanatory, but to create this costume, you need a flannel shirt, overalls, hat, tape, raffia, red lipstick, and a black eyeliner pencil. I … Read more

The computer game “Oregon Trail” [circa ’85] always ended with me getting dysentery in grade school (in the game, not on the playground.)

I have been experimenting with different Halloween makeup ideas for a while now, and when it came time to chose a Halloween costume, I was torn between going as a Zombie or the Corpse Bride… enter Zombie Bride costume!

I love Halloween, my husband hates it! I make him dress up every year. And every year he tells me my ideas for his costume are stupid! This year was no exception. When I told him I wanted him to be the devil, he told me that was stupid. I purchased red contacts, black and … Read more
My husband was in a beard contest nearing Halloween, so we came up with this Tom Hanks on Castaway and his best friend Wilson the volleyball. Tom Hanks as Castaway costume is really easy, raggy clothes, long beard and hair (he used a wig for the hair, but the beard, all natural). Cut the toes … Read more

Alas, … Read more
I was used to my son who wanted to be Thomas the Train or an army guy every year. So, when I had a daughter, I wanted to be creative and go all out before she could make her own decisions. I wasn’t into the girly girl costumes. When a friend told me that she … Read more
It all started out when I was having the most difficult time deciding what to be for Halloween. I always go for homemade costumes, and I was discussing with a friend last minute about how I was stumped. She told me to go through what I’d already been, so I said, well, I’ve been a … Read more
As with all of my Halloween costumes, I came up with the Where the Wild Things Are idea less than a week before and was working on it up until we walked out of the door. We just purchased the Max onesie for my husband, but I (of course) had to make Carol by hand. … Read more
I am in love with everything peacock, so this sexy Peacock costume was a must for me to conquer. I ordered a plain black corset off of eBay for $15 and completely covered it in purple, green, turquoise and peacock colored feathers, that I also purchased from eBay. MUCH CHEAPER THAN FEATHERS IN ANY CRAFT … Read more
