She had the AUDACITY to call me a WITCH.......Unbelievable

It's time to bring out the scary stuff and have some fun getting ready for Halloween.  Every year I enjoy making my costume from scratch rather than renting one.  I generally try to find stuff I have around the house which doesn't always work. People think it's kind of crazy that I have so many 'costume props' and quite frankly I think it's scary that they don't have fun stuff just hanging around waiting to be put to good use!  I grew up with a Mom that loved Halloween and she always came up with fun stuff for all of us kids to appreciate. We could be whoever we wanted to be year after year so naturally it's my job to keep up the tradition, don't you think?   

This  witch costume is one of my favorites!  She's a witch from Mel Brooke's  'Robin Hood Men in Tights'. I saw the film and just knew I had to re-create this 'unusual' witch costume. And it''s not your typical black hat and cape kind of costume!!  I had the wig so that was the start. I found some burlap in the garage and that made a great skirt. Add to that was a fancy scarf from Turkey - that seriously looked like the one in the movie. Wrap up a few more odd looking blankets and wraps and the outfit was almost complete. The only thing I didn't have was the witch nose so off to the Spirit store I went...and what a perfect witch nose I found!

Anna, 

Priceless, I didn't recognize you.  Not sure that is all bad:-)  I wish I had that much of a creative gene!  I have a super creative mom, so I still call home and ask for ideas.

All the best, Michelle

Anna ~ Quite a good likeness to the crazy witch in Mel Brooks movie!!  You are a funny and crazy chick for sure!  Frank and I will be heading to a CRS course in morehead city, NC for more education and to visit Amy Hahn!!  No costumes this year but Frank has quite often created his own costumes of the Grim Reaper and Dracula. We always created  our costumes!

Gary it was a blast and the most fun I've had.  I've usually had more 'sexy' costumes every year but I just had to create something different and it changed the fun factor by 100%.

Cathy how cute are you!  Love it.....cat woman is a fun part to play. Can't wait to see your party photos.

Claude - not a chance! Big candy bars all the way around:)

MIchelle - nice new photo.   Looks great! Not sure many folks at that party knew me....they're used to a different me showing up (more about that one later....frency twins)  LOL  Do call your Mom and get some fun ideas!

Lisa....Mel Brooks theme was so much fun. Lots to choose from and the witch was fun!

Karen....thanks! I worked hard to get it as 'authentic' as that witch could be.  It was a blast. You two have a great time at the CRS course.....the best education around.  BTW...are you coming to CRS celebration in Phoenix.  I'll give you a call!

Hey witchy woman - I saw your new photo and had come see what mischief you were up to. I love the costume - and you sound very witchy in your little video.  I must agree (#3) that I appreciate the green aspects of using materials from home to create a costume - smart choice and saves money.

Hi Anna Banana Witch.  I love the new profile pic and the costume.  It just tickles me that you get so into this.  Now I feel like a party pooper,  I don't have a costume or anything.  But wait - there's time......  Wonder if Will would mind stopping at the fabric store today while we are out and about....

Your costume is perfect!   I am always a witch, too.  It's my nature, I guess.  But, I played one for so many years at the Halloween Haunt that I can't help myself.  

And, I just read the Salem Witch Trial Judge's biography.  Boy, was he ever sorry for putting all those people to death, for nothing.
