A quick post to cover halloween. Had fun this year and actually did a costume to wear to work. I spent a few days assembling & painting my costume. Isn't it special!! A little uncomfortable (couldn't sit down all day at all) but everyone loved it. Not to mention it also won me first prize!!

Many layers of gold paint and then hand drawing a copy of an "authentic" gold rush scratch ticket on both sides. Some more colored paint and voila!! Let's just say some people have tooooo much time on their hands.

I have to say it was fun though,it's been years since I did anything halloweeenie. When we lived on the island in Nanaimo, we used to go to halloween parties and had friends who used to put on big medieval dinners, costumes and all.

Maybe next year will try something of our own. Ta ta for now.
