Who is a Harry Potter fan??
Are you as excited for the Deathly Hallows to come, out as I am?


I've got mixed feelings about it,...on the one hand I'm thrilled that the movie is coming out,  but on the other, I'm sad, because it really sucks that it is coming to an end :(

Anyways, I really cannot tell you how many requests for Harry Potter nails I've received over the past several months as the film has drawn closer.
And so now that it is here, I'll be doing inspired looks for each of the Hogwart houses.
First up is Ravenclaw

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I do hope that everyone had a fun and happily haunted Halloween!

 This year was ALL about the Mario Brothers
I have no idea what's up with their military poses LOL,
but they made out like bandits! Enough candy to last a year!





 It was very chilly and windy in our little water town, but it was still beautiful.

I snapped these pics as the kids were going from door to door.



And for me, right up until the very end, I couldn't decide what I wanted to do for when we went out...but in the end, I choose a skull/skeleton



So did anyone dress up this year for a party, or just for the hell of it?
What was your costume?
