it's all a bunch of HOCUS POCUS!

SISTAS!!!
we went to witch stock in ogden this past weekend.
me and my ladies went as the
SANDERSON SISTERS
from hocus pocus
scroll down if you are just interested in seeing how my costume was made

i went as SARAH SANDERSON
amuck, amuck, amuck!!

during witch stock we were asked to perform
i put a spell on you
at the car show at burger stop..SO FUN

we watched the movie LOTS to get the costumes and dance as perfect as we could

we made the costumes 100%
they are completely pieced, hot glued, and safety pinned together
we got everything from savers, di, & fabric stores.
mine costed $25 and it was the MOST expensive. WOO!!

a breakdown of my costume:
hair: made longer by borrowing my bestie's hair extension. (thanks love)
lace sleeves: an ugly white dress i got at the di to turn into a skirt..dyed with rit dye
corset: sis in law's lingerie with added fabric glued on
purple part of skirt: a HUGE graduation gown pinned around waist-
sleeves tied in a knot and safety pinned up.  
cape, red & gold parts: fabric from joannes

i had to throw this picture in. i LOVE my cute hubby.
isn't he darling :)

decorating pumpkins-no carving


i am a preschool teacher.
for halloween, each class will get one pumpkin for the students to decorate.
yes. ALL the students-in my case 26.
and yes.
ONE pumpkin.
so i have been looking for creative/non-carving ways for the kids to help out in decorating our classroom pumpkin.
here are my ideas so far:

if these pictures belong to you, please let me know.
i googled the images and got some from pinterest.
i have no intention of stealing your work without credit.

mummy pumpkin
{mummy pumpkin}
i'll wrap it in tp with the kiddos!
Haunted House Pumpkin
{haunted house pumpkin}
with the kiddies i would use paper & paint
Pinned Image
{stem for witches nose}
super cute!
paper hat, foam mask, yarn hair, painted mouth

 Hamburger Pumpkin
{hamburger pumpkin}
don't know what was used for the inside.
pumpkin seeds taken and used as sesame seeds on the "bun"

{decopauged pumpkin}
using newspaper, magazine prints, or tissue paper.
each child could add a piece on.
wonderful way to include everyone.


{masquerade pumpkins}
too cute to pass up.
we could do two masks and the kids get a turn to decorate them.
then make it a two faced pumpkin.
{chalkboard pumpkin}
very good idea.
but i wonder how that would work with 26 lil yappers.
??

i would LOVE to hear if any of you have some ideas for a classroom pumpkin for us!
