P365 - 2016 - Day 295 - thirty years ago...to now
Thirty years ago, my mom made me this Dorothy costume for Halloween. While I am a crafty and creative person who wields a mean hot glue gun, my mom was truly talented and could sew anything. Thirty years ago when I was in 8th grade, I asked her to make this dress for me and she didn't hesitate to whip it up. Flash forward those thirty years to now and The Princess is now in 8th grade and was looking for a Halloween idea. I threw out several suggestions and then remembered that this was sitting in a storage box. It turns out that my 2.0 version fit right in to this costume and was excited at the prospect of wearing it for Halloween. I can not tell you how happy that made me and I am certain that Gigi is smiling in Heaven that she will be wearing it this year. I crafted some ruby red Vans to personalize this costume to The Princess and then found some great accessories for her friend to be The Wicked Witch of the West. I can't wait to see this all put together!
