DIY Halloween Shopping at my Favorite Thrift Store

by This is Carrie on October 12, 2011

While I love making Halloween costumes, outfitting a family of six in costumes made from scratch was just not a realistic goal this year. So, I headed out to my local Savers Thrift store to pick up supplies for a “Semi-Homemade Halloween” and found way more Halloween awesomeness than I ever expected. Check out the video to get a sneak peak at our Halloween Costume & Craft plans for this year and then check out Savers.com for tons more DIY Halloween ideas.

DIY Halloween : This Mama Makes Stuff from jakfoto productions on Vimeo.

Thanks to Kiera from Jakfoto for filming and editing my video debut. If you’re looking for someone for a video project, I highly recommend her. She was amazing to work with! But if she doesn’t get back to you for a few weeks, that’s because she’s traveling with a medical mission team right now, documenting their service and partnerships in Manipur, India. I can’t wait to hear her stories.

The two in Orange County are in Anaheim and La Mirada. Call me a thrifting junkie, but it’s my little slice of heaven.
