I’m a great fan of DIY projects and found your site most interesting with all its cute ideas for Halloween costumes. Being able to create something from nothing is always such a rewarding experience. My problem is that by the time I’ve selected a project, I run out of time and have to resort to buying something anyway. The craft books for Halloween at have helped tremendously in that I can start early searching for ideas … many of which I see reflected here in your blog. Yes, I plan to post several of your awesome pretties to Pinterest where other folks can benefit from them. Thanks for allowing that.
