The Magic Forests Hosted Middle Earth

Halloween...there is nothing more fun than dressing up and eating candy, right?

Every year, usually starting on November first, my daughter usually asks once a day "How many days until Halloween?". So, I have decided to "go with the flow" with the notion of dress-up and allow many more dress-up days through out the year to ease the pain of her yearning.

So, when the questions of when the next Halloween is have reduced at least 80%, we are finding ourselves going all out and dressing up big-time for the Halloween Celebration.

This year we were Lord of the Rings/Hobbit characters.

Now, I am as frugal as frugal comes for most things. I have to REALLY want something to invest in it. 

Costumes come and go. 

Some I have invested in more than others, but for the most part I bargain and thrift shop. 

My best friend from Minnesota came and played with us.

She played Tauriel from the Hobbit.

 She mostly had her costume already by using brown stretch pants, green shirt, leather boots and belt, and my vintage green cape (one of my investments-I mean, capes are a total "need" in the world of dress-up!)
She was given her ears by a friend and we dyed and straightened her hair before I did her braids.

A back view of her hair. (and her cute butt)

Role playing near my fairy circle at my home.

My Son was Frodo from LOTR. Here is a photo we took of him staring at The Ring!

 Here is me as Galadriel from both LOTR and Hobbit. 

 My baby girl wanted to be an elf like her "auntie" and mommy...she was a "child elf". 

When family Elves unite in Love :)

My front yard is ridiculously perfect for photos...

Don't mess with me, LOL!

My little  Frodo reading his books as usual! 

In any way, I hope that you find your perfection...your middle earth...your heaven here on earth. 

May the Lord guide your heart to find the beauty that is around you amongst the chaos and evil.

In all things, seek love. Love is always the answer. 

Always...
