Drum roll, please.

Michelle of Michelley’s Belly and Mad(elyn) in Alabama! Congratulations, yours were the lucky numbers. Your bags are on the way and should arrive no later than Saturday. Here’s hoping they arrive by Friday.

My sister-in-law Dana commented on the giveaway post about the Mary Katherine Gallagher and Wonder Woman costumes she’s worn. (I personally would have mentioned the time you and Paul dressed as Jay and Silent Bob, Dana!) I emailed her back and told her that if she wanted a bag from me, all she has to do is tell me! She’s family, she has the right to order me around! I happened to be partway done with a pirate pumpkin bag, so I asked if she wanted that for Leo. She did, so I shipped that off today as well.

Why does he have an eyepatch? Honestly, it’s because I ran out of the white yarn I was using to make eyes. Also I thought an eyepatch would be cute. Too bad I didn’t have any gold thread to make an earring. But look, I did make the eyepatch actually tie in the back!

Which is kinda fun, right?

Thank you to everyone who participated in the giveaway! I really loved all the Halloween stories and great costume ideas you shared in the comments. Seriously, if anyone is hard up for a costume idea, you should go take a gander: Alien with a papier-mache head, a farmer and a hoe, Cruella de Vil, Johnny Cash (the Man in Black! Brilliant AND easy!), and my personal favorite, Bob Ross, AKA the guy who painted happy trees.

I’ll just hang onto all those addresses you sent me. You never know when a little something might arrive in the mail from me…uh, except for Michelle and Madelyn. Your mail from me should be arriving this weekend.

Happy Halloween!

(Brenda, thanks for telling me how to write out the sound of a drum roll!)
