Here are a few Halloween party place settings...

It's fun to mix and match patterns and textures for your place settings.

Serving a healthy snack can be cute too!

Halloween is not far off...

Ok, don't be mad at me, but Halloween is really not that far off.  Party planners know that they must start now to compile their ideas to host an unforgettable shindig for Halloween!

So here are just a few photos of what we did last year at my house:

After the little kids went trick or treating, they came in for dinner.  Friends brought a dish to pass and I had the table set up with plates, napkins, silverware, veggies and dip, cupcakes and few other spooky samplings...

This was so easy to make and turned out great!  Just mix onion soup mix with cream cheese.  Form head, Cut strips of Swiss Cheese and layer over head.  Add olives for eyes and slivered almonds for teeth.  I toasted pita triangles with oregano to serve with. Viola!

Made the bats from Wilton candy molds and let the frosting melt sloppily over the cupcakes.

This skeleton was repainted since it had gotten quite marked up over the years. Still lights up though!

What a fun Halloween this year!

Early afternoon, I helped at the school for Josh's classroom "fall festival". It was a lot of fun. Josh was "Speed Racer". I made up treat bags for each of his classmates.

Our new neighborhood is the BEST for trick or treating fun! Most everyone's house was welcoming with lit Jack 'O Lanterns and friendly faces. Tons of families dressed in costumes enjoying the beautiful night (it was 68 degrees here today). We counted 100 kids and had little candy leftover.

Afterwards our friends came over and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows at our campfire. Later, Grandma Anna taught the kids the "hokey pokey".....

I am excited to start posting fun decorating photos and HALLOWEEN stuff! Also- Christmas is coming up and I can't wait to get started~ But NEED TO FOCUS! I have the school Halloween party to get ready for, the traditional carving of the pumpkin, candy to buy, candy apples to create, and trick or treating to prepare for.....
