Halloween / Halloween Costumes / Blizzard/snowstorm coloured contacts costume question?

This year, I want to be a blizzard. (a snowstorm, not an icecream treat.) I'm still not entirely sure how I'm going to do it, but I've decided there will be lots of makeup, spray in hair colour (I'm a brunette... NOT going platinum...), lots of flowy clothing, and hopefully light blue coloured contacts. I've heard that the Crazy Lens ones are the best/cheapest, but has anyone had any experiences either way with them? Also, where did you get them? I've been looking online, and everything is either in pounds (I'm in Canada and would liek minimal shipping) or listed on pretty sketchy looking websites.
Thoughts?

Ah! Congrats on actually finishing it! I've been about 1/3 of the way through this pattern for a year or so (granted, I haven't really worked on it for about 8 months...)... I picked different colours, too, as the original is a little too pink for me (and the nephew it was intended for. Well, for his father anyway). It's encouraging to see it done.. Hmm, maybe i'll have to dig it out again.

YAAY! I recieved, too!
Thunderchild, thanks SO much!!
Also, before I forget - sorry there wasn't a note in the package... the market bag is Knitty's everlasting bagstopper (cotton, not hemp, though), but I put on a pocket instead of a drawstring, the produce bags hopefully work (that fabric is SUCH a pain to work with!!) and the yarn is alpaca (70% i think?) from my SO's family farm, about 25km from here. They don't actually have organic status because of a county/weedspraying issue a few years ago, but they're the closest thing to it!
So, again, thanks for the great package! there will be photos as soon as craftster's photo hosting starts cooperating with me.. :/

ohhh goodness... better late than never. (Hah! On the progress report, not the mail-out!!) Medium item: (okay, it's closer to a large in time, though...) over50% done, I think. small items 1&2: have the mats, have the plan, just need to put down the medium item and work on them!
Yep. And this week looks to be a good crafting one, so things are in good shape!

AHHH!!! uhm. Heh, I'm halfway through making one of these, too.  What did you use to glue on the magnets, though? (sorry if it's been answered, I jumped to the last page...) Superglue seemed to just get absorbed, and my adventures with contact cement have unfortunately not gone well (they just come off when you try to lift them off the fridge. :/)... just curious... I used super strong 'rare earth magents' so you can actually keep them on the fridge upside-down, too (for random picking of tiles!)

Omg. it's beautiful... I'm doing something similar with crocheted granny squares, only it's not with scraps, and I'm following a magazine pattern... I actually purchased 22 warring colours of yarn to slave together for eternity...
Hm, so not that similar at all. Still though, yours is beautiful!!
