My List of Halloween Costume Idea Lists

Yes, you read that right, my list of lists. If you enjoy making lists as much as I do (which is pretty odd for a right-brainer like me), then making lists of lists is the epitome of fun. All the research! When it all comes together you feel like a Knowledge Queen! Anyway, here are some of the great lists of Halloween costumes I have found.
-Yahoo’s 30 easy diy halloween ideas
-Of course, photojojo‘s ideas are photography related. (I love the grayscale/Pleasantville-style idea)
-not martha has a superb list of lists, too. This link to different drink based costumes is a great read.
-Real Simple and Martha Stewart has some great family-oriented costumes.
-Most of these costume ideas from babble could be used for kids or adults. Those Fantastic Mr. Fox costumes, oh my goodness!
-SplitSider has a list of comedy-related halloween ideas that are pretty great. If I had short hair I would be Stefon for sure.
-I adore this website, take back halloween. Despite what society says, you don’t have to dress as a slutty ladybug, cop or whatever. You can dress clever and cool without a short skirt.
Bob Hoskins is Awesome
Bob Hoskins, born 26 October, along with some other awesome people.
Still awesome as he ages. Still oh so charming. As it turns out, I have adored him almost my entire life – from Who Framed Roger Rabbit to Paris Je T’aime. Now that’s a range!

Does anyone remember this episode of Frasier? Frasier dates a gym teacher and he keeps imagining her as his old gym teacher tyrant. Oh man, so good. Hoskins, superb.
Robert de Niro, Al Pacino, this is how you age as an actor. Not by yelling, selling your ability and your integrity. :/
Happy Birthday, Echo
One of my closest friends has a birthday today. Since he has own online deal going, I’m not going to spoil it by putting up embarrassing pictures of him eating 3 lbs of gummi bears (although if any of his friends have embarrassing pictures they want to give me…)
But I wanted to say Happy Birthday, and here’s some other pretty awesome people who share your special day.
clockwise from top right: Bootsy Collins, Cary Elwes, Mahalia Jackson and Seth McFarlane. Yeah, you know, all the best!
Week in Review
This week has been busy with food and fun!
pardon my blue language, I am still upset it’s too hot for sweaters.
Let’s see I:
- Made pecan oatmeal cookies and pumpkin Cheerio treat bars (I could have sworn I got pictures of the cookies, but they are long gone, as always)
- Had dinner with the family – always fun to laugh around platefuls of pizza!
- did not know NPR had Science Fridays all the time! How did I not know?! Speaking of science, the Orionid meteor shower is peaking tomorrow…maybe I can talk The Beau into driving out of town to watch the show!
- Made a newspaper snippet on this amazing generator. I foresee my pen pals and The Beau getting a lot of random “articles” I found.
- Went on a fabulous bike ride that include secret underpass artwork, a babbling stream, a roadrunner, rabbit but not a javelina, and the above pictured rest stop that I always see from the freeway. Very serene ride.
- Created then sent out a postcard made from a beer coaster (in honor of Oktoberfest)
- am excited about getting my color packfilm in the mail today – more portrait photos await!
Beer Coaster Postcard
I got the idea from Save Snail Mail, but decided to take it to a new level of missive-palooza by DIY-ing my own.
All you need is a sheet of printer-ready labels, some postcard templates, beer coasters and stamps, of course.
- printed vintage postcard labels
- beer coasters
- stamps
I found several different vintage postcards designs just by searching Google and looking through a few of my favorite DIY sites, How About Orange and Just Something I Made.
