Costumes: A breakdown of costs and materials

November 4th, 2008 · 6 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, random, tina

A lot of people have asked me how much it cost me to make these costumes. And honestly, I hadn’t kept very good track. I went into the project estimating that it’d cost me between $300 and $400, and planning to enter as many costume contests as I could to hopefully recoup the amount I’d […]

I haven’t done a post like this for awhile. Since I have far more pictures than I have time to write about them, I thought it would be a great opportunity. They say a picture is worth 1,000 words. Here are ten. I added captions… but what do they say to you??? “I can do […]

Two Hundred

July 11th, 2008 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, family, random, tina

As coincidence would have it, I decided a couple of days ago to look and see how many posts I had so far. My count was as 198. I missed my 100 post milestone, so I thought I should probably do something a bit special/different for post #200. Though, I think a larger milestone for […]
