meri - that's a good site!
I can use face paints...but DD may get scabby skin after (she's sensitive soul)...although I may have to use the paints just to get something vaguely animal like.

(can you tell I am having a proper flap [blus])

gm- could you just make a quick felt mask?

here i jsut found a printable mask site.. here its slow but you could use it as a template to make a felt one that wouldn't irritate skin...

other wise.. has she got a blue dress? red glitter on some old shoes and you have dorthy of oz.. red material into a cape for red riding hood... green material to make a mermaids tail? with a felt shell in her hair?

mouse costume i'm sure you could run that up quick.. right beign booted off comp now.. good luck..

Fab Meri - if you could sew you'd be dangerous

WHITE RABBIT - Alice in Wonderland???!!! That bunny mask has finally kicked my brian into gear. Now I just need to find the rest of the outfit (I've got a pocket watch...it's an heirloom...maybe I'll make one out of felt). It'll be a bit rubbish, but at least she'll stop moaning at me now. Phew. Panic over.
