2nd Annual Costume Parade

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Halloween Costume Parade! Halloween is just around the corner...ok maybe it is 2 months away. But we had such a great turn out last year that we wanted to make sure that all the entries this year got some good top-billing time. And we already have some entries coming in!

This year we are asking for entries to be submitted by October 1st. We know it's early. And yes, we will still post entries submitted after October 1st, we just want to start filling up the parade route. And if your sheep are anything like ours, they're already tugging at your apron strings wanted to pick out a costume. If your creative juices need a little squeeze to get started, check out last year's awesome parade here.

If you would like to participate in the parade, please send entries to Sheep.4225SC (at) gmail.com. Please, only one sheep (or whatever plush animal that provides you with therapy) per picture. And remember to provide explanation of costume if needed, general location, and favorite Halloween/Scary movie. Yup mixing it up a little this year.

We have had request to know what costumes are already taken to avoid repeats. But we don't want to ruin the surprise. So if you want to be original, email us and we can tell you if your costume is already being worn by another.

Need some more creative inspiration? Well, DJ was so excited that the little lamb wanted to have a practice run. So enjoy the creation of DJ's practice Halloween costume and start thinking about your own!

DJ wanted to play pirates so we collected all the pirate-ie materials we could fine. And then started putting it all together.

Look at all this fun stuff!

But then DJ insisted on setting the scene. So off to create a pirate stage. (Backgrounds not needed for costume entries...but always fun!)

I can't believe Erin lost my crayons.

And despite the fact we lost the crayons, DJ had a great time coloring with Erin's normally off limits color pencils.

With a few materials, some time, and a lot of love, we would like to present to you the DJ, the Pirate!
Arg...don't forget to send in your entries ye mates!

Woo hoo, Parade.

Very impressive drawing DJ. Who would have thought a little sheep could draw that well. Maybe we found your calling (and it's not being a pirate).
