Today over at the CSI Project, they are having a Halloween-themed challenge, judged by the always-amazing Stephanie of A Brooklyn Limestone. She has incredible ideas for Halloween (in addition to the amazing renovating and decorating she does)! Go here and scroll down to see some of them, like this creature survival kit that she actually…
