Ghoulish Halloween Dinner Party...

Every year me, my sis and our mom put together a fun Halloween themed dinner party. Here a few pix from this years party:

I made place cards with each guests name on it and one for each food item..

Up close of one of the place cards...

I made a menu...

We always have fun names for the food...

The "bloody eyeballs", precooked...

"Infected Eyeballs", precooked...

After we pulled them out of the oven...

The rest of the food:

The Food buffet:

The place settings. I didn't have enough place mats, so I found a roll of wrapping paper that had raised velvet designs, I bought that and then just hand cut out the number that I needed...

A couple of the food placards up close:

It was a really fun day. After eating, we did our annual pumpkin carve. I love our family traditions, we look forward to this event every year!

Super Easy Halloween Decorations...

Here are a few Halloween Decorations that took 30 minutes or less to make:

Mummy Jar. Just take any size jar, wrap it in gauze, glue at the bottom and top and glue on the googly eyes. Place one of those push button lights in the bottom and it looks super cute in the dark :)

Witches Hat. I just bought a cardboard one from Michael's. I painted in in the black and purple glitter paint, then glued a glitter green spider and black tulle bow. All done!

For the glass ghost and pumpkin, I just bought the shaped glasses that I wanted to use at the Dollar Tree and then cut shapes in vinyl on my Cricut and put them on. I filled each with appropriate colored "stuffing" and that's it!

All were EASY SNEEZY and look very festive :)

My cute Chunky Frankenstein.

Chunky Mummy.

Tall Mummy

These were all super easy to make. Who doesn't love a cute monster?!

Halloween Subway Art...

Things are getting spooky around my house! I put up my Halloween decorations today and it made me so happy!!! I love pulling out all of my Halloween totes and finding all of my cute decorations. It's almost like Christmas morning :) This is the other subway art that I made about a month ago:

Of course I designed it with my Silhouette, painted it on a 12X12 board and then I really scuffed it and scratched it up, just because I thought it would give it more of a Halloween-ish look.

Halloween is one of my favorites to decorate for, this is such a fun time of year! I have a few other new Fall projects that I will post over the next few weeks so stay tuned and thanks so much for all of the sweet comments, I really do appreciate every one of them. Happy Fall Ya'll!!!

Fall Subway Art....

My new Fall Subway Art Plaque. I initially did it in Orange and tan and just didn't love it. I hate it when that happens! I decided to redo it in these colors and definitely loved it!
