Thread: What Have You Done For Your Party Today?

Tweet

Sent out our invite to our big Halloween Party at the end of the month....finally! Hubby finished remodeling my kitchen today, and put in a great serving bar which will come in handy with all the events coming up. My Ghoul's Night Out is next Saturday so that was cutting it super close!
Tonight and tomorrow I am forcing myself to rest and relax and enjoy my little 18 month old foster baby who is returning to his family on Tuesday. We've had him 14 months and it will be like saying goodbye to one of my own. I figure once he is gone I can grieve and vent by going CRAZY decorating!!!!

I JUST finished my party music mix. It includes everything spooky, with genres like Metal, Psychobilly, Surf, Horror Punk, and many others, along with horror movies quotes.

Working on food labels for the dessert/candy table. It's starting to come together but honestly, working on this has reminded me of how much time everything takes. Even the simplest of things!!!

I found some bowls for my party at a thrift store. I also found a tub for the sodas.

Working on space allocation, and placement of scare props and pieces.

I hit the thrift store and purchased some old linens (at only $1 each) to age and tatter to cover the furniture in our house. Cheap bed skirts are made of a cheese cloth like material and will shred very nicely! I also put up "creepy cloth" drapery in our front windows. I will need to work on it a bit more. It's not turning out how I pictured it. Yesterday I put fake spider webs on the family pictures I will not be taking down. I removed most of our decorative accents to be replaced with eerie ones.

I still have tons to do, but I will soon make a list room by room and go one step at a time.

I have that tub, and those bat dishes.....have you been going through my garage????

...decorated (indoors) and organized the rest of the decorations for the party. I'm also doing a "guess the number of candies" in container, so I got those all counted out and in the container. I needed some easy stuff to knock off the list. I wanted to decorate outside but it was really rainy and windy. Hopefully I'll get to that later this week...or next weekend...

MissMandy, I love the labels. I've been trying to find something like place cards but I really like those!

oops...double post...

...built my lit tree and hung crows in it
...decorated the front door with webbing and caution tape + a halloween wreath
...spider webbed the entire fireplace head to toe, webbed up the coffee table
...decorated most of the 1st floor of the house, few more bits to hang up and touch up
...went shopping for a potty chair to use as my chip and dip platter this year
