If there is one thing in my life that has always giving me joy, happiness and tons of candy, it's Halloween! My spirits always brighten when October comes around. Having a crafty mom who took immense pride in creating home-made costumes for my brother and I. My favorite were clown costumes she made for us when we were about 3 and 4 years old [picture coming soon]. As I got older, I found that I'd inherited my mothers party planning genes and throwing a good old fashioned Halloween party is, to this day, my favorite activity all year. For me, Halloween has always been a time spent with friends and family. Everyone, both young and old get's to dress up as whomever (or whatever) they choose. When I have children, I hope to pass along the fun spirit of Halloween they my mom passed to my brother and me.
