You should be able to post here in the thread using the "paper clip" button above the post window to the right of the smiley face. There are other ways I think DianaB uses - maye she can tell us.

Wow Diana! What a cute costume! I've never made my own costumes since I don't have children yet, but my mom and Traci used to LOVE to make costumes for me when I was little. I was dressed up like I was in a beauty pageant one year, a smurf another year, a witch another time, lots of random stuff. They always did a great job on the costumes!

OK ~ we can post pics here.... lets go girls, i wanna see ALL those costumes

Heres Chelsey "Beach Bum"
And Chanel "The Witch"

I had made both of them the same witch costumes, but for some reason, Chelsey HATED it, and REFUSED to look at the camera, usually she loves her picture taken, but wasnt planning on co?perating, with the silly hat on her head lol

Some how the beach bum picture just doesn't fit with the Chelsey that we know and love! And she certainly wasn't happy with the witch costume!!! How cute!!!!

Wow, Kate, you come from a very diverse background. I thought that it was a little different to ask about my cultural heritage because it's not something that I think about. I don't know anyone that has a back ground like yours. My family has been in the US for years and years. I couldn't tell you when the last of my family immigrated here and I don't have any family that we are connected to outside of the US. I can see where your holidays would be interesting!

Mandy, that's so cute! How'd you get that cigarette to stay there? Is it tied on somehow or is she just holding it in her mouth?

Wow, Mandy! What fun! (My guys would have disowned me if I costumed our dog.) Those are incredibly cute. Does your puppy like all the attention?

Yes, Diana, it was a bit different but I enjoyed it. It's funny. All my siblings ended up with different faiths for the most part. One brother is a Presbyterian and so is his wife, my sister is a Presbyterian too but her husband is Jewish, another brother and his wife are Fundamentalists, and my older brother and his wife are Quakers.

I am non-denominational I suppose. We don't seem to ever find a church that accepts us and is also inspiring. Unitarian churches allow our beliefs but the services don't uplift me. I have a friend married to the rabbi at the local Messianic Jewish temple but their mix of traditional Jewish service with Christian just doesn't click for me. One of my students is Islamic but the rules and fears of that faith in the way she has been raised do not appeal either.

But what does that have to do with costumes? Egads!

Diana, you are right, the beach bum, doesnt fit her personallity at ALL!! LOL...

Angie, i put the sigarette in her mouth, she just held it there, so i took quite a lot of pics, after i was finished, i took the sig. away, she wasnt at all pleased about that - maybe because i kept telling her how gorgeous she looked hahaha

Kate, she loves her picture taken, both my girls usually pose very well without too much "drama" unless they tired, or irritable.
