Being the parent of a 6-year-old boy, we go through a TON of toilet paper. Faced with a stack of empty toilet paper rolls, I thought it would be great to re-use before I had to recycle. Christmas is coming and he and his friends wanted to make a seasonal craft. What better than Santa and Rudolph – smiling and happy that these toilet paper rolls are being put to good use.

I have to agree with my son that Toy Story is the best movie EVER! As per annual tradition, we are going to bang those doors as a duo (1st year as monster & witch, 2nd year as Nemo & diver), and he has decided it’s Woody & Jesse. “Score!” I thought, as a cowboy costume is going to be a cakewalk compared to my Nemo challenge last year.
Hat, boots, jeans, belt are all readily available (psssst: $2 cowboy hats at Dollarama must be the best deal around!), but the shirt, vest and gunholster provided enough opportunity for creation.

Some of my favourite childhood memories are the homemade Halloween costumes my mother used to make. I have five older brothers and two younger sisters so this was no small feat. One year we were a very colourful Chinese dragon complete with a huge paper mache head made out of chicken wire and strips of newspaper, worn by my eldest brother with the rest of us trailing behind in order of height to my little sister bringing up the tail. Another year we were all King Tut, well seven Tuts and one Queen Nefertiti because I refused to wear a boy costume!
