So, I have always thought it would be really fun to have my own tv show. I have been contemplating and thinking about it for a while now and have decided to use this blog as a place to post what I would do if I had my own tv show. It would be a "Martha Stewart" type show where I would do crafts, cooking, maybe some gardening and other around-the-house activities. I am going to commit to at least once a week posting some new craft, at home project, recipe, etc on my blog and maybe some helpfun tips and ideas on how to stay healthy, make your life easier and maybe even some fun low cost (or no cost) things to do around the area. It has been something I have been interested in doing and think about often. So here we go.
I thought I would start off with some fun Halloween things it being the end of October and all.
First some fun homemade costume ideas:
Black Eyed Pea (This is one is brought to you by my sister Laura who did this several years ago for Halloween)
- you will need: a light plain colored t-shirt, a black sharpie, black eye makeup.
- 1. using your sharpie write a big letter "P" on the front of your shirt.
2. take the black eye make and color a circle around one of your eyes.
Easy, huh?

Game Boy (this one is for boys)
- you will need: a plain colored t-shirt, iron-on paper or a black sharpie
1. either using the paper or marker draw a pair of dice onto a t-shirt and write "Game boy" on the shirt.
another easy one.

Angel (Dani gave me the idea for this one) I am planning on doing this for Celeste this year. I got this off another website and have not tried it yet, but it seems to be easy enough.
- you will need: white clothes, 2 wire hangers, a pair of queen sized pantyhose, scissors, duct tape, 2 yards of ribbon, a glue gun, and decorations
- Assemble the Wings
Here's how to shape the angel wings:
Take one hanger or wire piece and bend it into a pointed oval shape to form the first wing
The hook should be in the inner center of the wing, wound around the frame so that nothing is poking out
Close the ends securely with duct tape
Form the second hanger into an identical shape
Join the two wings at the center with duct tape
Stretch one leg of pantyhose over each wing, tucking away the excess in the center using more duct tape
Run ribbon around the center, and wrap around your waste and shoulders so that it ties securely--trim any excess once you have a good fit

Well that is all of my homemade costume ideas. I am not sure how many people will read this but that's ok, I am glad to be able ot get these ideas out of head and written down.
More Halloween fun to come later, like how to protect your self from zombie attacks, fun halloween food, and more! Stay Tuned.
