Here is my Jack Sparrow. Although he was 100% out of his comfort zone he did this because (his words) life is short & we need to get back to living it!


I think he looked terrific & so did most everyone there since he won first prize for the best costume! A lovely treasure find for sure! lol
A thank you Anita for her help with the boot covers well after midnight Tuesday so I could print the instructions before loosing our hydro Wednesday @ 9 am. I was up all night making these covers it was rather complicated but once I could "see" the concept I was on a roll & they turned out really well a bit tight on the bottom elastic. I ran out of the pleather & had to use faux suede on the top for the cuff which ended up looking even better then I had hoped! As usual I made them a wee bit different then they instructed but Hubs was happy with them & so that's what matters

Great Pirate! I am so happy he won the first prize, that ought to have made his evening. I'll bet also he felt proud to have the prettiest lady/witch with him! It was a win/win situation! :)

What a stunning outfit Loralye. I think you outdid yourself and it's such a pity that no-one thought of getting a picture of you in your witch outfit. Well done on your husband's boots they really look the part and kudos to you for doing all of that hard work. Life is there for us to enjoy it and we need to face it full on!
Our grand-children are dressing up this afternoon after school to go trick or treating with Dana. Amy is taking Ophelie out for a few sweets too - they are all sweets mad! Love Chris

(P.S. It is already Halloween - here as I write this post it is 7.23am Friday morning)

I hope that they have a lovely time Chris. I do miss not having the grands around especially since they always came by to show us what they were wearing! they will send pictures but so not the same as the real thing lol. I know that they would have been thrilled to see the two of us all dressed up too!
