We decided to have a Halloween party this year since our past few had only consisted of handing out candy. I designed our invitations, in the process creating silhouettes of each of our little family members. I re-used the same silhouette graphics on some black pillows for the living room. I added the red accents around the necks as an nod to the French during the french revolution. Since the use of the guillotine severed the head women would wear a red ribbon around their necks. The vampire teeth were just fun. I was able to use items from around my house to dress up the desert buffet area. I made brownies and pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese-orange icing. We of course offered puppy friendly cookies for our four legged guests. I made some decorations and costumes by hand while buying a few too. Would I have loved to make everything? Yes, but I didn’t want to stress over too many projects.We did notice the kids this year didn’t always say, “trick or treat!” Most just held out their bags in anticipation. I remember when you HAD to say it to get the proffered candy. Ahhh the days of Thundercats as costumes.
Hope your Halloweens were as spooktacular as mine was.
SOOOOOO COOL!!!!!!!!! you are just so creative, more pictures!
