As always we had a blast putting together costumes. I was Cruella DeVille. I had borrowed a bunch of bling and the dress, and bustier from Laura. I actually had the coat and just lined it with fur on the collar and sleeves. Of course hair and make up are a must. Which is what you think when you see Travis. I have no response to his costume. It makes me severely uncomfortable.

 Zoe wanted to be Alice in Wonderland. She looks totally adorable! It was agonizing. I made the dress from a powder blue (hideous) prom dress. There were many steps and I had to redo it many times. Enough said.

 I am only including this because it is one of the cutest costumes ever made. George Otto Washington. Flippin' Adorable!!

 This was a throw together costume, but it worked great! His eyes were closed in EVERY picture. Well done, Napoleon.

So excited about Felix's costume. When the movie Wreck it Ralph came out, we knew Felix would want to be Fix it Felix. We made his hat and shirt, and sprayed his little hammer gold. He loved dressing up!
Lydia decided to be from the same movie, Vannelope Von Sweetz. She has little candies in her hair. We made her leggings and her hoodie is just made over from a D.I find. They were very pleased.

Halloween Decor and Invitations

 I had so much fun with Halloween this year. Not only did we end up having a costume party, we went all out with (my type of) Halloween decor.
I couldn't find a font I loved for the invitations so I made them by hand. Crazytown, I know. I had gotten these envelopes not knowing what we would use them for at Artco (in Rexburg). They were perfect!!!

 I had two different kinds of envelopes and ribbons.

 Food table. I borrowed some decor from Laura Black for the party.

 This painting is so perfect for Halloween. Just creepy enough. I sprayed some cattails black and they looked so great! Love the ravens always and pumpkins. Some potion bottles that Todd and Jen made.

 Love these flying bats.

 We got a little taxidermy alligator and put a fake hand inside.

 Every surface was spooky. Even in the bathroom we had some decorations.

 Front porch.

Pinata. I was so pleased with how it turned out. I like the silver and black paint. The structure was pretty difficult and we only got to hit it twice, but it looked great!!

Re purposed canvas painting

 Found this little painting at D.I.

 Vinyl lettering from Hobby Lobby.

 Paint over everything lightly. Whatever look you like.

While paint is still wet, peel off the vinyl.
I made this for Zoe because she loves all things French, except this painting :) She ended up painting over it and had me write Amore on it in black. Whatever. She knows what she likes.
