All Things Costume & Halloween

2025 started off with a bang—well, actually, it began with a blizzard.

In my end-of-year quest to actually get ahead of things, I created a few New Year’s Eve crowns to welcome in 2023. I may be running behind for Christmas, but …

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! We are at that point where the holidays pile up on top of each other.

Sleigh bells are ringing, Christmas carols are blaring, and the neighborhood looks like the Griswold’s moved in.

The holiday scramble is well underway. And, after coming off two Trunk-or-Treat events and three weeks of preparing a Christmas float, I am ready to slow things down.

If you’ve poked around this site for more than a hot minute, you may have noticed that, when it comes to holiday costuming, the more kitschy and ugly, the better.

I am knee-deep in tinsel, wrapping paper, and disco balls. It is an odd combo, but these are the ingredients for a Christmas parade float for the hubby’s workplace.

When I get a break from busyness and find myself with an extra moment, I’m often inspired to read from my TBR pile, which grows taller by the day.

Another Halloween is the rearview mirror.

We are in the final countdown to Halloween, and I’ve noticed something very frightening.

Are you ever haunted by the thing you didn’t buy?

October. My most favorite month. The sights, the smells, the tastes – I could live in this season.
