It’s official everyone!!! My favorite time of year is here!! Can you believe it’s October already??? CRAZY!! There will be no halloween party this year, which I’m totally bummed about, but I am just too crazy busy with shoots and trying to get the online classes finished for January. 
I seriously started planning this year’s party last year before last year’s even happened! I guess it will just have to wait until next year.
But, I can still share some fun ideas that I find for parties here, right???
Ok, warning, this is a little gross looking but I thougt it was an AWESOME idea for a little snack at your next party. I found it months agoand have been waiting for the perfect moment to share, i thought it was that funny…
Doesn’t that just look wrong??!!
LOVE IT!! Simply take mini marshmellows on the end of white sucker sticks and dip thm in caramel or peanut butter. Yum.
I thought this was a fun idea over at Country Living Magazine (my FAVORITE mag!!) This is a total DIY project.
To make:
1. Print a black and white copy of a portrait on printer paper and cut out. (If you don’t want to use your own portraits I like to find old pictures on flickr, just search for antique or old portraits)
2. TO “age” the picture, brush it lightly with a sponge dipped in a solution of a few drops of black acrylic craft paint and water. Let the paper dry.
3. Cut a piece of cardstock the same size of the photo and glue to the back of the photo to make it a little more sturdy.
4.With an X-Acto knife cut out the eyes of the picture’s subjects piercing through the cardstock and creating holes about 1/4 inch in diameter.
5. Remove the glass from your frames and stick the pictures in there.
6.Insert mini red LED chistmas lights through the back of the eyeholes. It works best to group these frames like in the picture, since you’re dealing with a strand of 25feet of lights! Then you can use more of the lights. Replace the frame’s backing securing with tape if necessary to help hold the lights in place. Drape with cobwebs and you’re done! You can add paper fangs to a few of the pictures if you want to for a little extra fun!
Hope this gets you in the halloween spirit!! There are many more fun ideas to share, but I have to pace myself!! I LOVE halloween!!!!
Have a great day!
