Best Costumes Around!

Good Afternoon folks!  With Halloween right around the corner ,I am sure everyone is thinking about your kids or even YOUR costume for that Halloween party you have been invited to.   Well, let me tell you where I found the best place to order your costumes from . ... Oriental Trading Company!  That is right you heard me correctly!  They not only have the biggest and baddest collection but they are not those cheap , flimsy ones you get at Walmart.  You might pay a little more but you get what you pay for.  These are Quality costumes with Full masks that are made to last year after year if you want it to pass it down or wear it again.    In my house , the kids like to keep them and play dress-up.

I want to share the one we ordered for my grandson , James.  As most of you know we have the pleasure to raise this handsome young man and he really knows what he wants.  He is really into Star Wars This is what he choose.


This is James here posing in his new costume .  He is already ready for his Halloween parties and Trick or Treat. 



James wants to say "Go to Oriental Trading for all your Costume needs !  You wont be sorry!"

Thank you and have a blessed day!

For my project I made a 2 page layout.  This is my Grandson, James' Kindergarten year 2013, and at the end of the year they do an ice cream social for all the parent volunteers. (my husband and I are raising him)  afterwards they have a dance party ,games  and all kinds of projects in the gym. James' favorite was the Macarena.  I used cut files from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  Take a look at my pictures and tell me what you think and at the end I will have a give-a-way!
