“Can we go Trick or Treating for Halloween?” Bikky asked hopefully.


Ryo smiled at his foster son; Bikky been living with him for almost six months and had settled in well. “I don’t see why not. Any idea what kind of costume you want to wear?”


“A superhero!” Bikky whooped.


“Which one?” Ryo asked, amused. He should’ve guessed; Bikky had been playing Superheroes ever since they’d seen the Avengers movie.


“Thor, because he has blond hair too, and he’s really powerful.”


“Good choice, we’ll see about getting you a costume tomorrow.”


“What about you? Aren’t you going to dress up too?”


“I hadn’t thought about it.”


“Hadn’t thought about what?” Dee asked, leaning in the doorway.


“Wearing a costume for Halloween. I’m taking Bikky Trick or Treating.”


“Oooh, free candy, can I come too?”


And that’s how Thor and Catwoman came to be escorted by a samurai and a demon…

It was so much fun! I dressed in costume the last few years that I gave candy out. It's gotten to not be so much fun to hand it out, though, even with candy costing so much. I'm turning into less and less of a people-person as time goes by, and I just don't like kids very much, even though most of the kids around here are more polite than average.

Oh, that's really cool! :D What a great thing, for the kids to get a little bonus. And the charms look great!

Thanks, I had fun making them last year even though it broke most of my nails threading the charms into split rings, I figured that would be more secure than jump rings, they can't get pulled off so easily. I got a bit carried away though, I think I still have more than 50 of them! I made like 5 of each, as well as the extras to send to friends =D

I'm not a kiddie person, never wanted children and only babysat twice for older kids, but on Halloween I make an exception, just because it's so much fun. I'm lucky I could get candy at a good price, but I spent more than I probably should have on it. It's only once a year though, and I've economised elsewhere

Split rings are so perfect for that sort of thing, but, yeah, they're hell on fingernails. :-/ I should probably be using split rings for my charm bracelet, but the chain of the bracelet itself is so thick that I don't think they'd look too good. Luckily, I don't wear it very often, especially if we're running errands.

For some things, jump rings are better, but then if you catch one and it opens, you can lose whatever's on it. You just have to try to pick the best option when making jewellery. I sometimes use split rings on pendants for extra security, but jump rings look neater... Ah, decisions, it's hard to know what to do for the best =/

The jump rings are certainly a lot easier to manipulate, that's for sure. Seems that the pros and cons pretty much even out, in the long run. Lack of security/easier to handle, vs. nail-breaking/more likely to hold things...yeah, I guess it's all about which type will work out the best with which item.

So true.
