Actually, I don't know yet. Prizes to be announced! (If you would like to contribute a prize, email me!)
I will tell you all more details as Halloween gets closer, but I wanted to warn you all to get your pictures in early.
To enter my Best Homemade Halloween Costume Contest, you need to do the following:
Email me: a picture along with a short description.
That's it! My email is: nutsinanutshell(at)gmail(dot)com
Remember: It has to be homemade! No cheating! And don't forget to tell me about it, sometimes the story behind the costume is BETTER than the costume!
The costumes can be for children or adults.
Good luck everyone and I can't wait to see your creativity!! Here are a few of mine:
Sammy just the right size to be Alvin! (12 mo)
Ben's Redneck costume -- I out did myself with that t-shirt!

And my favorite, only because I had so much fun making it, Thomas the Tank.I also did a cute scarecrow when Sammy was 2, but I couldn't find the picture! Oh, well.

Great job with the homemade costumes. I love Ben's redneck outfit.
In my household costumes come from the store. Their was only one year I "made" my son's costume. I wanted him to be a hunter but I couldn't find a hunter costume. So I bought him some fake camo pants and a vest that really looked like something a hunter would wear. I also bought him a fisherman's hat. Just cause. =)
You come up with the cutest costumes! I loved the Thomas one and I'm excited to see this year's!
My daughter has been a caramel for the last 2 years. And I did make it myself because have you ever seen a caramel costume in the store? Leave it to my daughter to ask to be something so unique/rare/odd. I will definitely e-mail it to you.
These were all great. You're so creative! I'm torn for a favorite, but I think I'm leaning towards Ben's. Please tell me he wore that to a church Halloween party. :o)
You're amazing-can I be just like you when I grow up? I wish I had something amazing to share, but I don't! I can't wait to see what other people send you!
Alvin is awesome. The redneck looks like half the people at my local Wal-Mart
So what qualifies as homemade? Can it be different clothing items from a thrift store thrown together or altered? Like a graduation gown turned into a Hogwarts uniform or a red coat turned into Captain Hook's coat, etc. You know, semi-homemade. Does that qualify?
gosh, everytime I see that Thomas costume I love it all over again!!!!!! You did such an awesome job on it.
