I just wanted to share my Halloween costume with you.

I dress up as Dr. Who. My girlfriend Katie is the Tardis. I think her dress is pretty awesome - she made the whole thing! I told her she should put it on +Instructables or +MAKE Projects.

Hope everyone had a fun and safe time trick or treating! I don't think you should ever be too old to trick or treat!! :)
