My fav holiday


So I've been thinking about this years Halloween costume since about Nov of '08... I try to think of something creative that I can make myself relatively easily. As I was researching, I decided I wanted to recreate or bring to life a classic photo or person that we've all seen and I came up with...The MORTON SALT GIRL!! It was super fun and thanks to my sister for help with the dress (I probably would have sewn it inside and backwards without her...) After that all it took was a little yellow spray paint for my shoes, some construction paper and an oatmeal canister, and a $12 umbrella from Target. So fun.

Most older women got it right away but I did have to explain it to a lot of kids, I guess they don't spend enough time in the kitchen...
