I dont do party type things very often. I dont do things with other people often either. I decided to have a girls night, Halloween party. Only 5 people came. It was still fun though. I put way to much work into a party for just 5 people but I was busy all of October getting things together. First I made super cute invitations.
Then I started in on some fun crafts. Most of them I would have done even without having a party, but I guess having a deadline helped me get some things done. I made these cute jars.
They were pretty easy to make and I think I could fill them with different things depending on the holliday so hopefully they will get a little more use out of them other than just for Halloween.
Of course there was food.
See how cute the bean dip is, a spider web. I made some caramel to go with the chocolate chips, nuts and mini M&Ms, but it didn't turn out.
I wasn't sure how many people would show up to my party so I prepared the basement for guests as well in case not everyone could fit upstairs. I found this idea on...Pintrest...who would have guessed. It was realy easy to do and pretty cheap too.
The rest of the basement just had cobwebbs and "egg sacks" again from pinterest. We didn't end up playing in the basement but it was fun to have it all decorated. One night we were watching t.v. and something seemed a bit different. Can you figure out what......
Well if you didnt find the difference, there was a real spider in the webs to the right of the t.v. It was a little creepy, but Justin managed to get the spider out of the web and to its proper place, squished in a tissue.
The party was a costume party and I of course spent a lot of time figuring out a costume. I found an awesome witches hat at target for $2.50 and went ahead and got it, then made a skirt to match... 3 trips to JoAnns and 14 yards of tulle later you get this.
The girls night was a week before Halloween so on Halloween we just had dinner and gave out candy till we were almost out and bored with it, then watch the 1939 version of Dracula. It was very different from movies today. It was in black and white. There was very little dialouge, and there was no background music. I hope you all had a nice Halloween and got to be a little fun and crazy.

Yay for parties and girls nights...you did a great job, looks like a lot of fun!
I want to whach dracula. Was that 250 or 2.50?
There is a decimal point in there but the font hides it. Do you really think I would spend $250.00 on a hat?
That's awesome you did all that! I wish I could come. I also like the pictres above the couch.
