Until Next Year...

I would like to give one last shout out to my favorite holiday, Halloween.  This year I had the brilliant idea of throwing my first Halloween party. The best part is I talked one of my friends into having the party at their house - I would just be in charge of decorations.  So, after a week full of ups and downs and a few mental breakdowns, I managed to pull off a kick ass party with decorations I can't wait to use again next year!  What do you think?

Pictured above, top left is my cocoon man, which I must say I am VERY proud of.  I made this scary creature out of crumpled paper, fabric, gauze, and spider web.  At the beginning all I could think of is "Why do I do this to myself" but in the end I thought it was perfect!  Next is the mad scientist lab with jars full of human body parts and custom labels.  Then, the Witch's Blood Punch was a huge hit!  Who knew blood was so tasty!  I also designed labels for wine bottles that said "Poison" and "Drink Me."  The guests definitely did not go hungry with cat eyes, yummy mummies, witch's fingers, goulish cookies, and skeleton bones.  And, of course, you can't have a Halloween party without dry ice and the fog machine.

All in all, everyone had an awesome time and I'm sure by this time next year I'll be ready to tackle the task all over again, forgetting what I put myself through this year.  Oh, what we do for the holidays!

And, in true style, I'll leave you with this:

"Holy Holidays, Batman, Can't Wait Until Next Year!"
