I sent Lizzy to school today with her head in her hands, LITERALLY!
Told yah!
We were up way too early doing hair and make up!
It’s been a week of work, that began with this duct tape body form.
I’ll post a few images of the ‘making of Marie’ on flickr for anyone who is interested. It’s amazing what you can do with two rolls of duct tape and an old dress.
Sam is going as one of my favourite bloggers. His reveal tomorrow :)

and to answer the previous commenter’s question…she sees with her eyes. :)

That is so cool. I wish our school did Halloween. The school district barred it a few years ago to not oftened wiccans, they in turn said that is silly and that we should still celebrate halloween at school.

That’s a really cool costume… couldn’t figure it out at first, finally got it. I remember my mother helping me with my costume one year – she gave me a sheet.
You’re unbelievable.

I love that costume, it looks really like a ‘winning piece’. I am not also the type who’s excited about halloween but kids are and I have to be enthusiastic about it, too. I will make that exact same costume for my child next year.
