Sweet Brownie Queen: Halloween Part 3

We had decided months ago that Little C would be a French Girl for Halloween this year. It started when I told her that I had made myself a wig and dressed up as a Cabbage Patch Kid the last year I went trick-or-treating (mid 80's - yikes). She didn't care what she was, she just wanted a wig for her costume. I made the wig out of brown yarn in 4 sections which I bobby pinned to her real hair. The beret was anchored to her head by her forehead and the bun of her real hair. She wore a black striped shirt and slim black pants. I made her trick-or-treat bag out of a plain tote bag. On one side I ironed-on an Eiffel Tower and a French Poodle, and wrote French words all over. On the other side, I made a Pink Bling Eiffel Tower. She said Bonjour and Merci at each house! :)

Since we were walking around with Little C for trick-or-treating, I made a box for the candy and sat it at the front door. Surprisingly there was some candy left - honest little trick-or-treaters! I covered a box in black paper and orange polka dots. The sign on the front has 2 eyes and says to please take one handful only. I was happy because the box matched the candy - Tootsie Rolls and Sixletts.

The Jack-O-Lantern was the best I think I have ever done. We designed it based on a stencil book, but I didn't use the stecil - I like to make my design and draw it on myself. We had such warm weather that Jack didn't last very long, but he was good for Halloween.

I got to do lots of creating for this Halloween and it was fun!
