All consuming, burning question of the day, and
Discount!
My answer:
I have two.
Mr. W and I were extremely elaborate, homemade Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head created using chicken wire & paper mache (for the body), foam (for the hats, accessories, noses, lips, eyes, and gloves), and paint. We won $500 - and it only took a month to create. You do the math.
Easiest costume:
I used a stick across my shoulders and a black plastic trash bag. Attached cut out white letters vertically spelling out "doormat". It was in my younger mom days.
Enough said.

Yes, I do follow your blog, yay! and let's see, my best costume, or one which sticks in my mind indelibly was when I was 5 I wore my mother's wedding gown petticoat. It was mounds and mounds of white tulle and netting. She made sleeves and tiny bodice and converted it into a real Cinderella gown. I had a star wand made out of foil covered cardboard, and long white gloves. Felt like the most beautiful creature on earth. :)
ReplyDeleteHmm I don't know how fabulous any of my costumes have been but my oldest dressed up as Steve from Blues Clues one year and I made a pretty sweet "Blue" outfit for our old Boston Terrier.He had all kinds of holiday wear - pumpkin outfit, Santa outfit , a big stuffed heart. He loved to dress up!
ReplyDeleteI have become a follower - why not - I read it every day!! I love, love, love the peace cuff and am so glad for the chance to win. As a young mom, I didn't have time to make a costume for work, so wore a jogging suit and put a sign on my back that said jogger. Got lots of laughs!!
ReplyDeleteI do follow your blog, thanks! I would say that my favorite costume was when I was young because my mom would sew all of our costumes. It was a tiger costume and even had a hat with ears! So cute (or so I thought).
ReplyDeleteThanks for another chance to win!
Yes I follow, and best costume...probably is when I went as a sort of geisha - wore a silk asian print bathrobe with a shirt and leggings underneath - most comfortable costume ever! Pretty lame. I have way more fun dressing up the kids. One year I made them matching orange M&M costumes which involved sewing and dying and they looked sooooo cute! Loved your doormat costume - I have so been there :-)
ReplyDeleteYes I follow your blog! I think the best costume I every wore was an Indian costume that mom made me. She also made a horse for me to ride out of cardboard; the horse had yarn for hair, a saddle and a bridle for me to use. You know I am going to have to go through through the photo albums to see if I can find that picture.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great week! And thanks for the giveaways!
We once went to a costume party as the California Raisins. We had the high tops and the big sunglasses and these really hot fuzzy purple raisin outfits we rented. We created a dance/entrance to the song 'Heard it through the grapevine' and wowed the crowd by doing it before we broke character to party. And the next year we were the Addams family. I was a kick-ass Morticia/Elvira character with long black wig and a dress with a slit down to there and up to here. Of course, that was all before I had kids. Today I would have to settle for the raisin.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day!

Love your blog and your sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteHalloween...I have so many favorite couple costumes my husband and I have done in the past. Marge and Homer, the wig was the hardest thing to keep on! Jackie O and JFK, Popeye and Olive Oil, and I think my absolute fav was Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas, I worked really hard getting her dress just right. My most favorite kids costume was my 2yr olds last year. He was Max from Where the Wild Things Are and his wagon was his boat. Loved it! Halloween is sooo much fun. :)
Yea for your blog and for my perfect custom creation! My favorite Halloween outfit so far has was last years. I dressed up as Hugh Hefner wearing an awesome fedora, "bunny bling", very good white boob top and black slacks. My friends and I did Las Vegas and I didnt wanna dress like all the other girls, I'm not a fan or skirts/dresses! Group of girls we had Hugh Hefner, a Playboy Bunny, a Pirate, a Sailor, and Princess Leia. It was a lot of fun... now to think about what to be this year!
ReplyDeleteLove the cuff!! I follow your blog under username MoonRae.
ReplyDeleteMy fav costume was when I shaved my head and stained my self green to be an alien. My hair was very short anyway(those rockin' 80's)so I just did the Sinead O'Conner thing for a few months hahaha
