My granddaughter , Sacha, in 1999 . It was the first Halloween, where she actually went up to the door by herself ...
Okay, so you knock on the door and then stand and wait ....
Then someone comes out...you say 'Twick or Tweat' (we spent hours teaching her that!)...looks at you and says 'Ooohhh ..how cute' ...than hands you candy...
Then you climb down the stairs and head off to the next house with Mum and Grandma in hot pursuit. You got the idea, after the first two houses, that knocking on front doors gets you candy.
Time for a pit stop !!!!
Mum decided it might be a good idea to remove some of the treats .... sort of, out of sight and out of mind !!
Unfortunately the night came to an abrupt end, when we went to one house, that was very nicely decorated. However, when Sacha knocked on the door, this Alien (looked like one of those from Area 51), appeared. Sacha took one look ... let out a piercing scream ... dropped all her candy ... and took off running. When we asked her if she wanted to go and knock on any more doors, we just got a loud 'NOOOOOOOOOOO' in response. Poor kid, but it was quite funny at the time...
As to this Halloween and why I've been MIA for the last week or so......
There was yards and yards of black net .... oh, and yards and yards of teal fabric ..
And 14 sleeve petals ....
Plus 15 waist petals ...
A corset with boning, sequins, etc ....
An under dress ..
Which , eventually, all came together to look like this..
A Halloween costume for my friend's teenage daughter !!!
I'm quite pleased with the way it's turned out. :-)
HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!!
