If you're like me, you probably don't have a Halloween costume yet. I remember always coming up with a costume at the very last minute on Halloween night.

One year I wore all black and cut numbers out of construction paper, stuck them all over my body with tape and went as "someone you could count on".

While my friend and I were out trick or treating, she picked a leaf up off of the ground and started blowing it. She was a "leaf blower".

I know, so creative.

If you are struggling for a costume idea I found an article with ten quick and easy costumes you can make out of a t-shirt.

They have everything from a chick magnet to a shooting star. You can read the full article HERE.

If you are planning to go out with a group, rather than struggle to find a costume for each individual, make a group costume.

This article HERE has a lot of really creative ideas. You can go as a a hand, plastic cups, crayons and much more.

I thought this smarty pants costume was creative and I am sure when people ask what you are they're going to call you a smarty pants.

What are you planning to dress up as for Halloween? Do you have any ideas for last-minute costumes?

Please send me your suggestions and questions for upcoming stories HERE.

You can also find me on FacebookTwitter and Pinterest.
