Pictures and Contests
 
 
   I hope, with your help, by way of sharing knowledge and pictures, to make this section useful as well as fun for us ALL.

   In this section I post pictures of your favorite  Halloween Costumes.  Anything goes (as long as it's legal  ..Ü)...whether it's a simple but striking Make-up job and old Raggedy ZOMBIE Clothing  for your husband...or a more difficult Hand-stitched Animal Costume for your toddler. If it is a purchased costume that's fine too.  It's all about FUN here so please join us! 
 
  If you are interested in participating, Please send your JPG Photo as an Attachment to Coletta@Costume-Works.com   (don't forget the dash (-) after "costume"). Type " Costume Photo" in the Subject line. In the body of the letter please tell me your name and/or the name of person in the photo..OR what name you'd like me to put UNDER the photo on the Webpage.  Feel free to include any info you'd like about the costume...or yourself for that matter.   Talk to me ...Ü  ...and THANKS in advance!
 
   If you'd like an Online Photo Service to help you with your pictures the one on the banner below is just great.  Aside from simply developing and printing your photos..they have a TON of other photo services and gift ideas also:

Print, Share, Photo Gifts

I am REALLY excited about this part of my site. I think it will be a GAS! (PLEASE excuse my retro lingo..I AM a child of the 60's after all .)
 
  The  2007 HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST will officially begin with the FIRST photo I recieve for said contest. SO!  Please don't be shy my friends (and NEVER be afraid to be FIRST! Ü)...Get those Costumes together and click some photos!
  The pictures for the contest will be posted on a seperate page. That page can be found on the small menu at the TOP of the pages...beneath "home", called "Costume Contest"....AND the Contest Page link is also on the menu at the very bottom of all pages.  I suppose I could make things REALLY easy and put a passageway to the contest right here:    Did I mention that the prizes will be CASH First place will receive $100 for their efforts. Second-$50, and Third-$25.  Not TOO bad for a simple click of the camera and putting a picture in the E-mail to me! Entries will be accepted through November 20th (to give everyone plenty of time to get their pictures developed (or whatever Ü) ..after which time JUDGING will be done by a rather large group of people... my Adult Children and My Grandchildren (None of whom will be allowed to enter the contest...for obvious reasons. Ü).
    
I have HIGH HOPES that I will receive LOTS of Entries so this Contest will be a blast for everyone!
     2006 Halloween Costume Contest we had a GREAT turnout so I am praying for those costumers to return and bring some friends with them!              
 
Picture Gallery
   Below you  will find my Picture Gallery. I am posting them AS I recieve them...The most recent at the top. The pictures DO NOT have to be for "Halloween". They can be for ANY occasion that you and your family and/or friends don a costume. It is Sept. 07 and I have just recieved a whole SLEW of new pictures!..Some for this page, some for the Contest Page..and some with "How-to" instructions so I can put them on my "Homemade Costume" page.  I'm so HAPPY!..But I'd best get BUSY!
     Please don't be SHY!!!!  It is all in fun and I promise that no matter WHAT... I will tell you that you look beautiful!  :-)
