Hang on to your costume! There's more fun to be had!

Hey y'all! I sure hope your October has been as fun-filled as mine so far. I'm barely keeping up with it all, and its not over yet! This is the last week of the month, which means HALLOWEEN is creeping up on us. My alter ego, "The Costume Nazi," was once again in full effect this year, and I dare say my peeps would agree that it was worth the daily nagging, the bossiness, and the frequent trips to Hobby Lobby. I made myself a grackle/blackbird costume that was perfect for letting out my inner goth. (She gets out so rarely these days.)

We transformed Justin into the best-looking ghostbuster since Harold Ramis. That proton pack's construction kept me awake at night, and sadly I didn't even get a good pic of it.

I even helped Katie a bit with her Christo's Surrounded Islands ensemble, though I must say that she needed very little assistance. I think the Costume Nazi's regime has rubbed off on her over the years. ;) Katie, I want a pic to compare you side-by-side with the original!Speaking of Katie, check out these AWESOME pumpkins that she and some friends carved! Katie did the Edward Scissorhands, lower left. Can you believe these? I'm thinking of commissioning these carving professionals for portraits next year...

If you want to see more photos of great costumes and halloween fun, PLUS pics from Maker Faire and a daytrip to San Antonio, check out my photos on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/16967901@N08/sets/

I thought you would like to know that I was just notified that I won "most original" costume! Still looking for a picture of me, though!
