Halloween (or playtime) Sword

I made this for Bubba's knight costume, but I was informed that it is not long enough to be a knight's sword. Shows just how much I know!

I used common household items, such as: a paper towel roll, aluminum foil, parts of a corrugated box, a Clinique Turnaround Concentrate box, a hot glue gun with, of course, glue sticks, and duct tape. In the process I first, forgot to take step by step pictures and second, used a combination of websites and ideas to fashion this sword. I will do my best to give credit where credit is due.

Mamie Sue's Oreo Eye-Balls

Alright, I'm going to go ahead and publicly admit this: My sisters are ALL much, much more creative than I am. I'm not jealous though. Nope, not one bit. Okay, okay, maybe a teensy weensy tiny smidgen. 😉 But that's it. Anyway, let me show you an example of Mamie's creativeness.

She had to come up with a few desserts for a Halloween party. What kind of a party doesn't have Oreo Balls? So she made those simply devilish desserts a Halloween twist.

I'll post step by step directions and pictures soon. Here are her Oreo Eye-Balls.

Revlon Eyelashes

At first I was very hesitant to try false eyelashes. My eyelashes are so thin and sparse due partially to the medicines. I've been experimenting with various mascaras instead. I began looking up beauty blogs searching for makeup application tips. I kept coming across posts describing their makeup choices and the majority of them were wearing some type or another of false eyelashes. I stopped by CVS later to pickup my meds and grabbed a pair to try out. I have to say that I am absolutely thrilled I tried them! I love them. Now don't get me wrong, as a virgin false eyelash-er, they are not the easiest thing to wear, but I think with some time I could improve on my eyelash-putting-on skills. Here are some photos with them on my right eye only.
