I love being crafty - I just wish I had more time for it these days. :( Anyways, I know I talk a lot about the Dinosaur Train kids show on here because we love it (it's Henson!) - so when I spotted this homemade Buddy costume tutorial, I thought maybe someone else would be interested?
We have so many costumes here because I buy them at 90% clearance/thrift stores, but then again, we don't have any dinosaur ones. Hmmm... maybe I will, but I'll make it big for growing into/playtime. We're either going out in a witch costume, or if it's extra cold, I have a back up fleece bat costume from Old Navy. We're just doing the business trick or treat downtown here... we're really the only ones in neighborhood who pass out candy sadly. :(

Zappos is actually carrying Halloween costumes for kids and adults? Who knew?! I remember when they only sold shoes and socks, lol. At any rate, shipping is free to and from - and, they are returnable, so if you have a weather change/you change your mind, it's no big deal. (And at least you don't have to dig through a messy rack looking for the right size?)
...I seriously cannot wait for Halloween clearance! :) And on to an important holiday:
Save The Children, in the spirit of giving, has a few special promotions going on. If you are looking for a special gift with meaning, this is a super idea! If you purchase a goat, they will automatically make it two goats! Yes, I said goat. No, a goat won't land on someone's doorstep... wait, well, sort of. You see these goats will end up being donated for a struggling family in drought-affected areas a much needed source of food and protein ich dairy products and a valuable source of income. Other areas of our beautiful planet are not as fortunate as we are, and we can help. There are also other "gifts" you can choose, such as giving a soccer ball for kids to play with, and educating a girl - where your gift will provide vitals such as books, education materials and teacher training to help a girl attend – and stay – in school for an entire year. Since you can donate in someone else's name, you can tailor the "gift" around something that person believes in. (If these don't interest you, can I send my vote for the Stock a Library choice?)
