Santa Rampage 2008

Saturday night was the annual Santa Rampage here in Boise. Every year for some time now we get dressed up in our favorite holiday attire and take over downtown. We took over three different locations. There is nothing like seeing an entire venue filled with over 150 people dressed up in Santa Suits or some other holiday costume. This year was especially fun because I got to introduce my friend Stephanie to the tradition, and I think we have another elf to add to the yearly rampage.

For those of you that know me well, you know that I enjoy sewing and when the opportunity to create a costume comes along I jump in with more than two feet. This year I made a cute little taffeta red dress trimmed the bottom hem and neck line with furry fleece. I also put together a great little cape (it was my favorite part of the costume). The cape made made out of plaid taffeta, lined with red fleece and accented with the same furry fleece around the edges. The cape kept me warm while walking between our locations.

Every year it is a great time where we get to meet up with old and new friends.

The photo above was taken on our final destination. It was a long walk and with the boots I was wearing (thanks Steph) I needed a break. Mike and I took a rest in a bus shelter. The night was filled with fun, friends, and of course lots of dancing and celebration. I am looking forward to our next event and more specifically the costume I will get to create.
