Hahaha, that dress is fantastic! Perhaps a mite itchy ... but still a great concept.

Even that dress couldn't solve my dearly beloved's foul mood today! Not-Happy Tax Day to You!

Oh, I just checked out her website, where she explains it:"I mostly used the beautifully pink Child and Dependent Care 1040A forms plus some paler pink Individual tax forms."She's selling it on eBay. So far, the bids are at $306 and counting! Proceeds go to the great organization Heifer International.

Oooh! I just added my mom dads pic from 1962! That is so cool!

Oh, I would love this dress! When my mom was little they would buy dresses made out of paper for fancy occasions (you know how hard kids can be on nice clothing). You could only wear it once or twice, but you would look fabulous at a fraction of the price!I wish they would bring that back. I'd have more closet room... I can't seem to throw anything away, and I hate wearing the same thing over and over again...
