Hi Sweet Friends!
It's Fall and you know what time that is! Harvest Time & Halloween. And most of you know this is my Favorite time of the year. I love the Season Change and the Bountiful Harvest time. Not that I don't love Christmas, I don't LOVE Winter! But I love FALL!

This year, since I won't be making any costumes, I thought I'd just make a great resource costume list.

Just sayin' for an Adult Costume, when I was in college, I took an old white sheet, ripped it in lengths, and put some dirt on it to make it look dingy. I painted my face white and drew in grey over my veins and red around the eyes(not on the inner lids!). I got help wrapping up and then at the party, I didn't speak. Not once. No one recognized me and I won best costume!! Simple, easy & cheap! (but it was hard not to talk or laugh at funny things!)

The current top 10 Halloween Costumes are:
Minions, Pokemon Go, Olympians, Ghost Busters, Super Heroes, Star Wars, Disney Characters, Game of Thrones, Cats & Dogs, Scary Creatures, Ghosts.
Here is a great list of sites I have found, used their ideas, and had great success! Enjoy!

Most of these you can come up with yourself, and some are really cheesy, but if you elaborate on the ideas, they could be really cool! Skipping the "Catcher in the Rye" (lame is my personal opinion).
