Happy Halloween + Blog Candy

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.
