HAPPY HALLOWEEN

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

This is my first year really embracing Halloween and it's actually good fun.  Every year I make sure I have sweets at the ready as we normally have about 10 groups of children and their parents from the area come trick or treating.  

This year I've had people telling me they think the house looks great and they love the Spiderman Pumpkin that G made for the Halloween party.

Loving embracing the festivities...just hope I don't run out of sweets and end up with tricks for the rest of the night.

Halloweeeeeeen...

Feeling totally inspired this year to embrace the Halloween Season.  I have never really done Halloween before, as we grew up in the countryside we never really went Trick or Treating, and it just wasn't something as a family we embraced.  Since meeting G we have never really celebrated Halloween either as it falls two days after his birthday so we always celebrate that instead

However, this year I wanted to try something new and embraced that fact that the two fall within days of each other and took over G's party ideas and through a fantastic Halloween party.  I have been inspired over the last couple of years having read the fantastic Cupcakes and Cashmere as Halloween plays a prominent part of the year.  This post especially made me want to embrace all things food for the Halloween holiday.

As I lost my job last Friday I embraced being at home (along with applying for lots of jobs) and did all things party!  I themed our food, made lots of Halloween craft decorations and generally got excited about the season.

I think my favourite additions to the party were the pepper puking chutney, the raspberry and milk jelly brain (mould from Asda), and silver skull candles from Asda.

Happy Halloween folks x
