oooeee, my mom sent me candy in the mail. best surprise all day!
i've been working on my halloween costume the past couple days. making handmade scissorhands is more challenging than i expected. Especially when you're teaming up against two kitten-thieves that don't respond to the word "no."
i'm so excited though. love, love, love halloween. i'll probably post a photo when the hands are finished.
this is my inspiration - tim burton is so amazing:
i'm really unsure where my halloween costume ideas originated from. Here are a few of my favorites:
1. For 2 or 3 years I was Zorro (including penciled 'stache, hat, cape, and mask). I made sure everyone knew i was Señor Zorro from the old Spanish version - not the English one. I insisted it was the one true Zoro & to keep the two straight. :/
2. One year entirely silver, when my dad helped me make a computer/robot costume (my face was silver). I thought i was hilarious actually doing the robot. You guuuys, i'm doing the meeee
3. When i was about 5 or 6 i was a "Hobo" - which ended up looking like some post-college grad including a backwards trucker hat, plaid shirt, stubble & a beer-belly made with a pillow. Oh and a black tooth. bet that was a moment of pride for my parents taking us door to door. yes, that's our daughter in front there - with the beer-belly
this ended up being my costume:
