Are you ready for Halloween? I love Halloween! I love dressing up and passing out our candy. This year I know we will have a lot of Trick or Treaters. This year I am dressing up as:
Dorothy from Wizard of Oz.
I have been Dorothy a few times.
The costume was first made for me in 7th grade. My mom made it bigger so I could wear it again and again. I just need to get a new white shirt to wear under it.
I also know where my ruby slippers are this year so I get to wear those again. YAY! My mom made those too. She used a pair of the dyeable shoes that you can get for weddings and formal events. painted them red and then put red glitter into a bottle of modge podge and painted them with that. Then she sprinkled more red glitter on top before the modge podge dried. She made them about seven years ago and glitter still falls off.
Usually I try to make something to put our candy in. Here’s what I have done in previous years:
This was last year’s treat bag.
2009’s treat. This is not a good picture of it.
2008’s treat box. 
The back of 2008’s box. The erasers kept falling off so I ended up putting them in the boxes.
I made these cute little ghosts for last year’s treat bags. The are tootsie pops with tissues tied around them and a little ghostie face drawn on with a sharpie. I am still trying to decide what to make for treat boxes this year. I have a couple ideas but I need to find patterns.
