CSI Case 22 - I want to be a Pirate

These are two of my dear friends and I on our way to a Halloween party. I know it's a little out of season but picture seemed to match "the Scene" and once I saw it all my other photos just didn't seem good enough.

My Evidence:
1. Border Punch
2. Crown Accent
3. Chevron paper

My Testimony:
I incorporated both "Document a childhood memory," "write 3 wishes related to your subject," and "Begin with 'once upon a time'". In the event that it's too small to read, my wishes are to be a pirate, to be a ninja, or to have mind control powers. And my journal block reads, "Once upon a time I was invited to a Halloween party at the last minute, I didn't have a costume but luckily Mark saved the day as it were. While unfortunate for him that he bought a Captain Morgan costume, it was fortunate for me because when he put it on he thought it was too girly so he gave it to me. Wearing it took me back to my childhood when my costume was a pirate. All day I'd imagined I'd be the pirate queen, with hoop earrings, red lipstick, and an eye patch. Finally I was home and it was time to get ready, just as I was getting my makeup on to trick or treat my mother ruined my dream and drew a mustache and beard on my face. To this day it is my most traumatic Halloween memory."

This was my first time participating at CSI, I'm relatively new to the scrapbooking community and excited to learn new things and meet new people. Please stop by my blog and say hello.
