Happy Halloween Ya'll! Can I tell you about my cool costume that cost me $2.50! That is right, 2 dollars and fifty cents...and that includes tax! Ahem...thrifty queen! :)
Most years I want to dress up and have a super cool costume, but I never want to spend that much money on it and I usually wait until that last minute and have nothing. This is partially because my daughter's birthday is a few days after Halloween and when I have to choose, I put my time and effort into that, but I still like to believe I can do both. I did have an idea this year, I was going to be a "Wanted Poster"- you know like in the old western movies. It would have been pretty easy to make with some poster board. Well true to form, I waited until the last minute. However, the other day I was getting a few last minute things for her party and I was in the party decor aisle and there is was a Wanted Poster ($6.99) with a hole cut out for taking photos and I didn't have to do a thing! Awesome-sauce!!! I picked it up.... but then an aisle later I found a HUGE Ace card (I am talking 2 X 3 feet!) and it was $2.39. Um...I am going to cut a hole out so I can stick my face in and be an "Ace in the Hole!" Feeling so proud of myself for being creative and cheap! ;)
Meanwhile, my kiddo is going to be a Ninja. I love that my girl loves all
things that are traditionally "boy" or "girl" and doesn't feel pressured to fit a gender stereotype. Hello 21st Century! :)
Here is a quick glance at a card I made a while back with the Mama Elephant set Up and Away. Such a cute set, I just love it. I think this would be make a great encouragement card for someone. Unfortunately the card is a little dark, but that was before I bought an amazing photo box...oh well.

Score on the costume you wore; the price and the idea both most excellent! And your daughter dressing as a Ninja; super cool! I can't believe she's nearly 6. I know her special day will be celebrated with joy, flair and a whole lot of fun. Your card is darling, and yes, definitely one to brighten someone's day. Indeed, I plan to look at it several times today, because work+stress have become partners. Grrr...). Favourite candy: red licorice. Yum...Great post - and belated Happy Halloween!!
