Happy Halloween

Ive had a pretty fun Halloween this year even though the most fun was when my girl was little. Now that shes grown, it just takes the fun out of it.

 Me and my Husband usually dont celebrate Halloween. Until this year, the last Halloween party we attened was a church fall festival, probably fifteen years ago. This year we were invited by our neighbors to their "Hallowedding". It was definately a different kind of wedding.

But first, my costume reveal. If you follow me on facebook or Twitter, you've probably already seen it.

You guys had some good guesses at my costume. BJ was the closest. She was just one TV channel away from guessing. Go check out her blog. You will fall in love with her.



Are you ready to see who I am?




"Im creepy and Im kooky, 





mysterious and spooky,





Im all together ooky.........





I'm Wednesday Addams!!


 

Pretty funny huh?

Back to the wedding. Everyone came dressed up. There were clowns, super heros, draculas and witches to name a few. There was dancing and lots of food. The wedding was held in my old Middleschool gym. Cramerton Jr. High is also where the bride and groom attended. They chose this place because its where they met many years ago and fell in love. Though both went their seperate ways, married and had went on with life. They reunited a couple years ago and realized they still loved each other. Some love story huh?.

Here is the photo of the Mr. and Mrs.


And the cake


We had good time. Nick dressed tacky for the wedding and fit right in. I was excited that he went all out for this halloween shin dig. Like I said before, this is out of our comfort zone. 

While standing in the food line, they played the Addams Family song and everyone turned and looked at me. With a serious face, I did the finger snaps on cue....hahaha, its all I had. 

Here we are together. The black lipstick was gone after I ate and forgot to bring the tube in with me. Shucks! It made up thirty percent of my costume. 

 

Me with the bride and groom.

 

I saw a few people I went to the Jr. high school with. The old gym brought back a lot of memories. From the smell of the polyurethane on the floors to the old cold brick walls. The school was closed down a few years ago and turned into apartments. A new Cramerton middle school has been built in new location. 

I have to go to work today but no costume. Ha. Later on, me and Nick will probably go out to dinner. We do not plan to hand out candy. Not many on our street open their doors for trick or treaters. We stopped handing out candy when the kids started comming in car loads from other neighborhoods, without costumes and holding pillowcases. Even the parents would ask for candy. 

However, I did make these treats for the neighbor kids. Chocolate covered pretzel sticks. I still have to add the finishing touches to the wrapping and they will be ready.

What are your halloween plans?

Hope everyone has a spooktacular day!



Love,
Wednesday

My Costume Is Ready

I do not usually dress up for Halloween other than throwing on a witch hat while handing out candy.
However, I have always come up with good creative, homemade costumes for my daughter. I never bought one from a store. Now that shes all grown up, I don't get to have that fun anymore. She will buy her costumes each Halloween and they include a lot less fabric than I would recommend.

Last year I played around and found something in my closet. I put it on long enough to get photo to share on Facebook just for the Halloween fun of it. I had put on a yellow raincoat, white socks and black shoes while holding a container of salt and umbrella. I was the Morton Salt girl. Pretty swell huh?

This year is different. I actually have somewhere to go this Halloween weekend which is mandatory to dress in a costume. Its a Halloween wedding. Yes A Halloween Wedding. Creepy huh? Way out of my comfort zone but me and the hubby have decided to attend. We have never in over 20 years went out wearing a costume! This could be fun.

I made a trip to the GoodWill thrift store. I love that place by the way.
I had intentions on dressing up like "Beetle Juice" but I could not find any black and white stripe pants or coat. So then my idea switched to dressing up like Peter Pan. I had brown leggings, and brown boots. All I had to find was a green tunic or short dress to cut up into this fantasy Disney Character. I even bought some felt to make a hat.

Then something else caught my eye that gave me a better idea. I will keep this one a secret until the reveal. I got all of the outfit I need at this GoodWill and It costed me all of  $7.00. I'm going to have fun dressing like this character. Using my creativity, I will add the finishing touches. Though I am not going to tell you who ill be just yet, I will give you a hint.



Its a prop I made using an old "Juice" bottle, printed label and some paint. I will be carrying this around with me at the wedding and actually drink out of it while I'm there too.

Can you guess who I am? (comment below).
I will reveal it in my next post.
