Here's the whole "Wizard of Oz" gang dressed up for Halloween! Clockwise from the tallest we have, Glenda the Good Witch, Dorothy, The Wicked Witch of the West (she wouldn't let me put green make up on her but she made one cute wicked witch!), the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow.
Miss Abbey didn't have a candy bag so I made one for her and she received so many compliments about it. I didn't get a good picture of it, but if you look closely you can see it above. I used a sweet owl fabric and the same ribbon from the scarecrow costume. At every house she came away declaring, "I got candy!". This was her first year to really "get" the whole trick or treating and it was so cute how surprised she was by the candy. Now if I can just keep her out of it.....
Then there was the Wicked Witch of the East - the one Dorothy dropped a house on. Remember her? Abbey thought it was great fun that I dressed up in the same costume as she did. She declared me the little witches' mom...I like that much better. We were able to piece most of the costumes together from our dress up box at home, a few pieces came from the thrift store (scored Dorothy's costume for $1) and the lion costume was made by me. I love the way the mane turned out!

Comment=Pyramid Scheme American Diamond Traders.....
WARNING: DO NOT SEND YOUR MONEY TO ADT, YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING IN THE END. THIS CASE IS TOO OBVIOUS, THIS IS A QUICK START UP WITH THE INTENTION TO GET PEOPLES MONEY FAST AND THEN CLOSE DOWN. 1. THEY DO NOT HAVE A BUSINESS LOCATION! 2. THEY DO NOT HAVE A REGISTERED BUSINESS IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON IN THE USA! 3. THEY DO NOT MEET THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS WHICH MEANS THEY ARE OPERATING A PYRAMID SCHEME!
