Elf Costume

Posted on March 24, 2013 by Cynthia Griffith

I originally intended to wear this costume yesterday, but we weren’t sure if the event was going to be cancelled due to weather. The theme is different than I usually do — Picnic with the Pixies. Anything fantasy-related. I decided … Continue reading →
