I'd love to take credit for the the ideas, but my friend is the Master (cue Darth Vader). I'm helping him construct his haunt, and having a lot of (ouch!) fun with prickly chicken wire!

Made it at a party last weekend. Pretty good! The original recipe calls for grape soda, but it was slightly too sweet for me.

Woolco?) Worst TOT costume - no costume! A bunch of grumpy teens wearing their regular shirt and pants wit...

Thanks, Dutchess! Who thought a simple crow could look so spooky with a background change? Photoshop is fun!
