I love Halloween more than ever since I moved to AZ, it also means a break in our super hot weather and I can start enjoying the outdoors again. I use to make a lot of my props, I'm the paper Mache queen, and have always loved the fun associated with this holiday, because there's no stress connected with it as there is other holidays. Can't wait to see your pirate family, but wouldn’t Chachi and Jewels look more authentic before they were groomed?
