Happy Halloween!!!

Today is one of DS's favorite days of the year, trick or treat! Before doing the rounds in the village this evening, we'll have some of DS's friends over for a make-up session and Halloween tea party. Creepy muffins, ghoulish sweets and spooky cookies are the order of the day.

Boo!!! Having slightly 'aged' from yesterday's look ;-) Good thing is, it's much easier to breathe! Sarves and accessories as yesterday.
