My kids get really excited about picking out costumes each year.......and actually still enjoy me making them! Kacey gets REALLY into it and loves to pick out the fabric and stand over my shoulder to make sure that I do it all just right!
We have a lot of fabric, sewing, designing going on around here lately! She does not want the same costume as ANYONE.....and has made sure that hers will be a different style. :)
Hopefully we will be done with all of this in time..... xoxo
