April GPD

For April's GPD I began to look over the net for ideas for costumes. I haven't decided what I want to dress up as. Last year I wanted to dress up as a ghost but couldn't find what I needed to put it together.
My son has decided he wants to be a bat. So I looked online to get some ideas I can use to put it together. It's a fairly easy costume to do so that won't be a problem. I just have him wear all black, attach black wings to his arms and give him bat ears with some vampire teeth to finish the costume off.
My older daughter hasn't figured it out yet. She probably won't decide till the end of September when we go to the store to check out the costumes and our youngest is only 3 so we will probably find something when my other daughter chooses.

March GPD

I forgot to write about March's GPD. So I'll write about it now. I have a large book I got in the mail about Canadian Ghost stories that I've been slowing digesting as it were. ;) I find ghost stories so fascinating. :) This GPD I also was able to browse on the net and found a bunch of great ideas. Some were labels for bottles and jars and others were ideas to put into the jars. I haven't thought of a costume yet. It's too bad my friend doesn't live closer to me...she is a fantastic seamstress and would be great in helping me to make my costume for me. But she is so busy making tunics and other period clothes that I'm amazed she finds the time to do anything else. So I'll just have to come up with something on my own. Perhaps for the April GPD I can browse the net for costume ideas.

February GPD

Last month since February doesn't go all the way to the 31st I had it on the last day of the month. Wearing my Halloween socks and wearing black, I spent some time reading one of my ghost story books that my man gave to me for Christmas. I had also looked on the internet and other places for ideas for what I will dress up for Halloween this year. My older daughter of course wants to be another kind of princess. So far she has been Snow White, and Cinderella. I think she said she wanted to be the Little Mermaid this time but she might change her mind so I won't bother have it down as a definite. Usually with my son when he makes up his mind he doesn't change it. But he said he wasn't sure yet. The youngest I'm sure we will find something. She is still not that old enough to choose for herself.
This month for GPD I'll be starting to get ready for Easter but will manage to spend some time on Halloween. :)

Missed GPD!

Usually the first two months after Christmas I tend to feel more tired...so that means I don't get much done...plus I have two of my kids birthdays...on in Jan. and the other in Feb. so my mind tends to be more focused on that. Hopefully this month I will be able to get my mind in gear for this months GPD.

GPD for August...

Well, I couldn't wait for GPD day to arrive. LOL! Can't help it...I just love Halloween. So I have printed off the Halloween Countdown which you can find here... http://magicalholidayhome.com/?page_id=113 . I also revamped my binder and purchased page protectors for it. I also made new section dividers. Once I get my printer fixed I can print off more things for the binder. I've also found some Halloween cards from the past several years. I think I will have to display those when I decorate next month. I figured since I do it with Christmas cards, then why now Halloween ones. :D
