It's Almost that time of Year Again... Halloween

I love Halloween.  Not sure why, but I love decorating the house and making the kids costumes.  I have started making the boys costumes.

The boys want to be Minecraft characters.  Nathan wants to be Enderman and Clayton wants to be Herobine.  So I've been googling costume ideas and looking on Pinterest.  I found some good ones about the diamond sword and treasure chest.

Here is the link for the diamond sword.  While I didn't print out the images.  I did follow the pattern on the sword.

Clayton wants it to be shiny.  So now I have to find something.  I'm thinking glossy glue or something.

I used this picture as a guide.

Nathan wanted a treasure chest to carry his candy in.  While that's not going to happen.  I thought I would make one anyways.  It only took a couple of hours.

They are both made with cardboard, foam and then construction paper glued/taped on.  The boys are so excited.

Now to make the people.  Then to make the girls costumes.  Faith wants to be Miley Cyrus this year, the one where she is wearing the teddy bear.

Our used Toy and Clothing sale is coming up.  This is a little different you can now sign up online at www.ywinnipeg.ca/sales You can pay with debit or credit, how awesome is that?  You can also phone any city of winnipeg YMCA/YWCA and get them to sign up.

It's super easy sale to be a vendor at.  You buy a table for $30.00 then you come the day of and set up your gently used kids toys and clothing.  Some people have their clothes sorted in boxes by sizes and sexes.  Some have them just on the table sorted by sizes.  It all really depends on how you want to do it.  You can also barter with the customers if you want.  Some people sell stuff just to sell, some people sell stuff to get some money back.  There is no right or wrong to it, you just do what works for you.  The main thing will be to have a large enough float and some plastic bags for shoppers to use.

So come out next Saturday and see what awesome deals you can find.
