Aaah, 2010. The year I discovered the HalloweenForum! The talent & imagination on that site are phenomenal! I got so many ideas!!
The toe pincher got painted!
Miss Angela even had a supervisor.
Meet Peeping Tom.
He stood there looking in the back kitchen window for a good week.
It's funny that he freaked everyone else out, but he got me when I took the dog outside & I'd see him on the patio!

The only issue I had with her (besides square boobs)
was that in the slightest wind,

Some family members got make-overs.
Skeleton Mariachi!
Isn't the green glitter skelly FABULOUS?!?!?!
And wonder of all wonders!! I discovered lights.
Overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Believe it or not....this was the first year I'd actually been at home for Trick-or-Treating! Every other year, I'd taken Miss Angela over to my parent's house to walk with Dad while Angel & my niece ToT'd. But this year she was 13 and wanted to go out with her friends in our neighborhood. It's a bummer that it was so cold! Everyone had coats on & it really took away from the costumes.
Pirate Angela, rockstar Rachel & Guitar Amanda.
I can't wait to use this guy in 2011 !!
I got him at serious discount when Spirit was going their clearances.
I call him Big Mike.

in between layers of tulle on Jayne's skirt.

Looking out the rain-spattered window one night at the floodlights -
there is a face in the window right next to the skull!
