Halloween and HTML...



So i got all 3 Halloween costumes done on time and Halloween was a blast :D I went to 2 separate parties so i had 2 costumes. All 3 costumes we made from scratch, with no patterns (i've always hated patterns ;P). The first pic is of me and my fiance Scott as Fred and Wilma Flintstone, and the second and third pics are of me as a unicorn pooping cupcakes (although you can't really see the cupcakes very well in these pics). These were alot of fun to make! Scott even helped sew the black spots onto his costume! i was very impressed.
Anyway, now that Halloween is over i've also decided to start learning html so that i can design my own website (knowing absolutely NOTHING about coding at ALL), and wow, i finding pretty quickly that it's pretty complicated for a beginner, but i've come across some really great resources by just google-ing tutorials. One that i found extremely helpful was W3Schools.
it's gonna be a lot of work but i have a feeling it'll be really rewarding in the end, not to mention useful!
I'm also gonna get back to work on my custom stamps and, after a bit of researching, have decided to make my own handmade, business cards :) I'm also having fun making some hand-coloured stickers. i'll post some pics of those soon!
