I can be crafty.

So I HAD to dress up for Halloween this year.

If I was going to do it, I was going to do it good.

I went to the Halloween store to get ideas and found this...

Christmas Story leg lamp.

$45

Heck to the nothankyou

So I made it myself..

My mom just happened to have this lamp shade in the basement that she had never used.

Because I am not 10" in the waist..me and my brother took wire cutters and cut it like above.

This made it so I could stretch it over but it still stayed up.

Next I went to Walmart and bought 1 1/2 yards of this black trim to hot glue on= $3

While I was there I bought some fishnets = $5

And for a total of $8 +tax I made a costume.

I quite enjoyed it and so did some of the customers.

Some people actually had never seen the Christmas Story

and thought I was just a random lamp.

I'm offended.

Even our dogs got into the fun!

Well that's enough Halloween for me..

off to watch Hocus Pocus! :)

Yes, I really am.
