I sent Lizzy to school today with her head in her hands, LITERALLY!
Told yah!
We were up way too early doing hair and make up!
It’s been a week of work, that began with this duct tape body form.
I’ll post a few images of the ‘making of Marie’ on flickr for anyone who is interested. It’s amazing what you can do with two rolls of duct tape and an old dress.
Sam is going as one of my favourite bloggers. His reveal tomorrow :)

You are one talented lady!

OUTSTANDING!!!!!
This is great! So different than all the other kids costumes. Love the hair and makeup. Did she like wearing it?
.-= Kelly Decoteau´s last blog ..Custom Made Wall Art on Canvas – Coordinates With Your Bedding =-.
That is SO amazing. And she is a knockout in makeup! But how does she see?
I am so shocked. That is the most amazing costume I have seen – honestly! WOW!
and to answer the previous commenter’s question…she sees with her eyes. :)
That is so cool. I wish our school did Halloween. The school district barred it a few years ago to not oftened wiccans, they in turn said that is silly and that we should still celebrate halloween at school.

I love that costume, it looks really like a ‘winning piece’. I am not also the type who’s excited about halloween but kids are and I have to be enthusiastic about it, too. I will make that exact same costume for my child next year.
.-= Hydrofloss Irrigator´s last blog ..Are Broken Teeth a Natural Part of Aging? =-.
That’s a great costume! Im sure that a lot of kids are afraid of her. :)
Ilove all these costumes how grat they are
I love this its so different. This would scare the living daylight out of adults not just kids. I admire your creativity.
I’ve been flying from one blog to another checking on Halloween costume ideas and yours are great! Why not stop by and visit me I have some great Halloween costume ideas also. See you there..Glinda
This is a very Fun Costume. The little girl is so adorable she can be casted in a Hollywood Film. Why do she try out the producers would love her. she would be the starring role.
I must say that costume is awesome :) Topping that costume this year is going to be tough.
