Question Do I dare talk Halloween?

LOL
I swear this year, I am getting my son's costume early. Ugh, no I didn't sew up the perfect costume for him last year. LOL
Martha Stewart, I am not.
His costume was so adorable last year. (cowboy) It will be tough to beat this year.
We may actually get kids this year trick or treatin'. That would be a first for us.
I love Lillian Vernon for Halloween items. Chelle showed me these adorable Halloween baskets. Not badly priced.
($9.98ea or 14.98/2)
I know not exactly frugal compared to a plastic bag, but *some* things are just worth the little extra.

Well, I have dressed up as the same thing for the past 12 years if you can believe it! And probably will until I am too old to pull it off. =)

Being that I have pale skin and black hair it's quite easy to pull off a decient Snow White. I'm on my 3rd snow white dress that my Mom sewed for me based on the disney movie., and she says I better not outgrow it because she's not sewing another one! Nowadays the only way I can grow is outwards so I'm trying to be careful.

Now if I could only talk DH into dressing up as my prince.

I was just thinking this yesterday as I was filling out some things on my calenar for October at work.

I feel lucky to live where I do. The Oriental Trading Company has a shop in Omaha. We usually go there for party supplies for ds birthday in September and get some Halloween ideas.

They have offers for free shipping all the time. I don't know if you can get on an e-mail list to have these sent to you or not. I'll try to past a link to them.
