Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and one that I look forward to every year. It is a holiday full of fun and creativity, where kids and adults alike take their imaginations to the limit and create wonderfully fanciful costumes. Whether you have your costume already planned for this year, or you are scrambling and trying to come up with something last minute, here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing.
