Happy Halloween :)

Hi all :) Hope your Halloween was fun and fabulous! Ours was crazy busy and fun! It was made up of bounce houses, carnival rides and free food. Free is my favorite number!

 

White Halloween Face Paint Is The Devil

Hi all :) 

As the title suggests, last night I went round and round with a tube of white face paint and  eventually lost. That crap is HORRIBLE. I was going to use it to make myself paler than I naturally am so that I could do a dia de los muertos sugar skull makeup look. I successfully covered my brows using a glue stick (for the first time!) but when I applied that white paint it flaked, and rolled and was all around awful. Luckily the nickname of albino that I was given in college was for a reason and I was able to pull off the look without using it. I think it looks pretty cool, and I am considering doing it again tomorrow, perhaps in another color. I did this around 3 am and was a little worried about sleeping in it, but it held up PERFECTLY. Not a single smudge. I was so excited! Tonight when we went to the fall festival at a local church everyone was totally impressed and couldn't help commenting on it. One sweet little girl stopped in the midst of an inflatable obstacle course to come over to the side and tell me I looked pretty. I can dig! lol.

Just outlined what I thought it should be, and got to it.

 Finished product. Not too bad?

 In Sepia, for fun. I like it.

Satina had never seen sugar skulls prior to this and she BEGGED to be that for Halloween instead of Lalaloopsy, which was all her idea to begin with. She was appeased with being told that not next year but the one after she can dress for Dia De Los Muertos. What are you guys being/doing for Halloween?

 

Hi all :) I have neglected this  a bit the past week, but I have been and continue to be busy with Halloween preparations. I cannot believe its in four days! We don't even have a pumpkin yet! We are getting one tomorrow though.  We still haven't finished Satina's costume. Heck I don't even have a costume idea for myself or an idea of where to go. This Halloween will be a failure I think haha. Yet I did manage to create some pretty adorable treats for Satina's kindergarten class and teacher. We took them in today and they LOVED them. It was so cute! Oohing and aahing and shouting with excitement. I love little kids. Anyway, the ideas were found on pinterest, and executed accordingly with only a single set back. Originally we were going to make tissue paper pumpkins to be the treat bags, but when all was said and done..EEW. They looked like lumpy fluorescent garlic. Not appealing. Thankfully we got some adorable Frankenstein bags at the Dollar Tree last minute! 

Tootsie Pop Spiders. Super cute.

The blue were my favorites. Pretty and poseable!

Chocolate Bar Ghost. Bats were made also and were ADORABLE. Template .

 Bats, Ghosts and Mummy Juice Boxes

 Mrs. Cloud's basket. Everything the kids had too. Candy bar ghosts and bats, spiders, mummy juice box, pencils, erasers, bubbles and treat bag full of candy :)

All wrapped up! I think its pretty cute, and she seemed really impressed too!

On top of it being the week before Halloween, its also a four day week and drug free/spirit week at Satina's school. They had red day(monday), on which she looked SUPER cute, like a little cheerleader. Tuesday was camo day, wednesday was pajama day and today was jersey/sports team day. Of course I forgot to take pictures everyday but today, which for me is practically tragic! I need those for her kindergarten scrap book. Maybe I will make her recreate the days. Wacko. Anyway, here she is in her baby blue Jacksonville Jaguars jersey, blue and white striped leggings and a blue and white gingham bow. She looked really cute!
