The Book Fair

Book Fair Week is literally the best time of year for most elementary students. 

I can't explain why, but they LOSE THEIR MINDS over it!

Taco Belle and Trick-or-Treating

"Do it with passion or not at all" 

Miss Frizzle

Last week, I hosted my very first Scholastic Book Fair in the library.  

This is serious business - like, serious business.

Belle (the Librarian) Costume

I've always wanted to dress up as a princess for Halloween - and this year, I finally did it!

Five Fun DIY Halloween Costumes

That is definitely me at parties.  If I could find/make an adult Sulley costume from Monsters Inc, I would absolutely wear it. I love dressing up in costumes.  Here are five DIY Halloween costumes from previous posts to inspire you.

12 Days of Recycled Christmas Ornaments (DIY) #11 ~ Pipe

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...

eleven pipers piping.

Bleeding Heart Tee (DIY)

I made this tee for Patrick's Halloween costume (not so much of a costume for him - he really is a bleeding heart liberal).

Happy Halloween!

I love Halloween!  I love decorating and carving pumpkins and dressing up and candy and pretty much everything!

Good{will outlet} Friday #33 Costume: Greek Goddess

If you haven't decided on a Halloween costume, now is the time!  This week's Good{will outlet} Friday post is another quick costume made with items that are easily found at the Outlet Center - a dress as a Greek Goddess!  Just like, last week's outfit idea, everything you need should cost less that $10.

Good{will outlet} Friday #32 Costume: 1960s Housewife

For the last two Fridays in October, I'm going to write about Halloween costumes that use easy-to-find items from the Goodwill Outlet Center, or any Goodwill store (because if you're anything like me, you won't think about your outfit until hours before you need it).  This cute costume can be thrown together in minutes and everything I used cost less than $10.

Bloody Costume Making Bash ~ With Spray Blood from Simply Spray

As you know, I jump at any excuse to throw parties, make things, and dress up in costumes.

Good{will outlet} Friday #30 ~ 13 Outfits From 12 Pieces

At the beginning of every season, magazines and websites are plastered with articles that feature new trends and list all the clothing staples you need for your wardrobe.  I especially love the posts that show readers how to mix and match a just few items to create a handful of different outfits- like this one from Lucky Magazine.

Good{will outlet} Friday #4 District 12

I went to Goodwill Outlet Center twice this week and tore through those bins with a mission: finding clothing and accessories to put together a Hunger Games inspired outfit.

Hunger Games Nightlock Berry Keychain (DIY)

The poisonous nightlock berries tucked deep in Katniss' pocket saved Peeta and her at the last minute in The Hunger Games.
