Lily's Fairie Costume Is A Hit!

We did the preschool carnival at St. Theresa School today and our costume was a hit. Just when we walked in the door people where complimenting her dress left and right. Not to mention someone even took a picture of it. I spend hours on this costume and it paid off. The only thing that failed where the wings. Lily hates them because they're too big.

Next we will be heading out to Southcenter and do the mall trick or treating. I am overally excited to the point I have butterflys in my tummy. Halloween is the one time of year that I love the most. Why? I honestly do not know.

I will add pictures later on this evening if not tomorrow. I just need to go home and download them to my computer.

Tinkerbell Costume Made By Me!

I have been trying to find the perfect costume for my daughter. I checked Party City, Gymboree, Children's Place, & More. Suddenly a light bulb turned on! Whallaa! I can make my own costume for her.

The Tinkerbell costume was fairly easy to make and only cost me $26 at my local fabric store. I used 10 yards of tulle, elastic, and ribbon. The best thing was it took me only 1.5 hours to do. Now I am hunting for the perfect wings. I found Tinkerbell shoes at the Goodwill Outlet for less than $1.

Below is the picture. Please do let me know what you think. As you can see some of the tulle has glitter. My daughter picked out the glitter tulle.
