It’s Around the Corner . . .

Hey there, everyone!

Hope you had a sparkling 4th of July weekend. šŸ˜€

Can you believe the stores are already stocking items for another holiday that’s on the horizon?

Uh-huh. Halloween!

Today’s edition of Show and Tell Tuesday will fit right in with that theme . . .

A few weeks ago, we were reminiscing with our oldest daughter about some Halloween costumes we helped her to make around the time she became a teenager.

Her school sponsored an annual Halloween Dance, which included a contest for best costume. She loved the event. Although we all contributed to the finished projects, her Dad (a.k.a. Sir Beads) did a lot of the work on these . . .

Here’s his “washing machine” – made with a sturdy carton and recycled styrofoam! There’s even a battery-operated light with an on/off switch!

Donā€™t you just love it? šŸ˜€

Next, we have a slice of pizza. Fabric-covered cardboard, designed to sit on the shoulders, ā€œsandwich boardā€-style. šŸ˜€

This was during the late 1980’s. As I recall, neither costume won, but they were a hit nonetheless. The washer is long gone, but we think the slice of pizza may be packed away in the basement.

In any event, Iā€™m so glad we still have the pictures.

They make our hearts smile!

Hugs,
