Everything is AWESOME now that the costumes are almost complete! We just need some minor tweaking so heads aren’t bobbling and feet aren’t scraping the concrete and a dab of touch up here and there from wear and tear. With an average of 30 hours per costume, this was an undertaking I had no idea … Read more
My sons (Wells “Jay”, 7 & Owen “Zane”, 6) hoped to be Lego Ninjago characters for Halloween. Luckily, they have a crafty Mama. And, so began the creation of their costumes. These are completely DIY (I honestly didn’t know how to “do” any of this). I used my imagination & creativity & worked on these … Read more
The idea to create a Lord Business costume as my son’s official Halloween 2014 costume was not an easy task. In fact, once I realized exactly the type of character I was dealing with, I was worried.

I’m not gonna lie…it took people a little while to figure out what we were. And if you’ve never watched Big Bang theory then you probably wouldn’t get it even after we told you what we were. The rock was made using a trash bag stuffed with news paper. The paper was made using a … Read more
We decided to spend Halloween in New Orleans and to dress up as our Treasure Trolls. Our costumes were a huge hit on Bourbon Street! We found a Treasure Troll wig online, it was about $25, but it only came in pink. We had to spray the other colors with hairspray color. It worked perfectly. … Read more
This costume is cool enough as a regular Nintendo Wii but wii couldn’t resist being puny. The Zomb-Wii costume was a bit bulky for a house party but did well in the bars, winning a contest. It was incredibly stable and made a good drink and snack holder all night. It was also very easy … Read more
The best part of doing this theme was that he was totally in for it! The minute he said, “yes” to Ken I knew we could pull it off because creativity is my thing especially during Halloween time!!! I literally started on this costume October 1st and it came out exactly as I had imagined! … Read more
