My Reader Puts a Spin on a Post!

I love when I learn that people are actually reading my blog! icon smile My Reader Puts a Spin on a Post!   Remember the guest post on Halloween Costumes earlier this month by Kim (now a contributor)?  Well, I just got an awesome email from a reader about that post:

GrantFallFestival My Reader Puts a Spin on a Post!Hi Kelli,
I ran across your blog several weeks ago and fell in love with the bull riding costume.  So, I made one for my 4 yr old.  It was a hit at his pre-school fall festival.  Very unique and creative. Thanks for the great idea.
Regards,
Kendra

When I asked her if I could use her pictures or if she had a blog post I could link to, here is what she said:

I don’t have a blog.  I just lurk on other people’s blogs and use their ideas.smile teeth My Reader Puts a Spin on a Post!  Sure, you can use my pictures.  I didn’t use spray paint on mine because I waited until the last minute and did not want the box to smell.  I wrapped it in white paper and glued felt pieces all over the top.  I did smear craft paint on the boots.  I also cut the top off of a pair of jeans and hot glued them to the top.  It was easier for me to let him wear jeans instead of bull legs.  That way the teachers could just take the box off and he wouldn’t need to change clothes.  By the time I got to the festival, the bull was missing the nose from his face.  But everyone got to see and enjoy it before his untimely demise.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE hearing from my readers!  Did something inspire you?  Are you loving a contest win?  Email me about it and include pictures.  You just might make it on my blog!

Isn’t Kendra’s little one totally cute!?
