Well, a happy late Halloween to everyone. This year was certainly different from the years before; for starters I didn't pass out candy or even come close to trick-or-treating myself. Instead, I dressed up for class, went to a Ward party, and just hung out with my buddy and a pizza.
Can you tell what I am?
The Cheshire Cat! A couple years ago I found some fuzzy socks at Target for a dollar, $3 later and a night of sewing and I have a set of ears, tail, and gloves. Then to knock it out further I bought a pink tank top, eyeliner, nail polish, and used my roommates eye shadow and crimper to really spaz it up. I loved the result because it became so mysterious.
I only have one class on Mondays and Wednesdays so we had a costume contest between our class and the one next door. Our class didn't win (which didn't make sense, in my opinion) but it was still really fun to see everyone's costumes. I have 2 close friends in that class and I laughed to see how we had accidentally theme-dressed. Misty intentionally dressed up as Alice, but Crystal was a mobster, but with her hat we became the threesome Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, and Alice.
I had a couple hours between class and Ward party so my friends Lara, Shelley, and I went out to sorta-dinner. Well, Shelley got KFC, and then Lara and I got food at a local shop "The Cocoa Bean" (she ice cream, me hot chocolate and a cupcake). I love having friends up here it makes everything truly fun.
At 6:30p it was finally time for my ward's party. At first it was boring, of course, I arrived early, but then my visiting teacher, Ashleigh arrived and we were able to hang out all night. That really made it fun. And again an accidental match as she was dressed as Alice from the Tim Burton version. There was baked potatoe and chilli bar, apple carving, donuts on strings, photo booth, and a Thriller dance contest. It was all fun but until someone started playing "Gangham Style" and then everything really became fantastic as everyone joined in the dance.
I got home around 8:45p and took a shower and was shockered that it didn't take off my make-up, I had to use a make-up remover. It made me laugh seeing how much the eye-liner changed my appearance.
My best friend and roommate Lara had to work that night (she's an RN at a Surgical Rehabilitation place in Idaho Falls), and after she got home she and I finished the night a a Jack-O-Lattern pizza we'd gotten earlier at Papa Murphy's, watched the new episode of Modern Family, and served Pinterst. It was the best way to end Halloween in my opinion.

My roommate Stephanie didn't attend the ward party but dressed up the Friday before for a different party, her friend had these contacts that I just loved, I couldn't stop looking at her with those orange eyes. So cool!
The following are some characters I designed last semester.I had planned to do 13 images but didn't have the time. Still I got a few pieces done. Yay! I hope everyone had a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
