Halloween Decorations

20131028-211705.jpg

Halloween Decor from our home. I’ve made or decorated with some recycled things, homemade items and others that I’ve purchased from Dollar Stores or Craft Fairs. I’ve collected decorations and made many decorations over the years. I hope next year I will have more time to post and show you how to make some of these Halloween Decorations.

I hope this inspires you to decorate for Halloween!

Halloween Dinner Party

This year for our dinner party we called it, “The Bats and Spiders Kitchen Laboratory”. We’ve done these dinner parties for about 16 years and it has been a fun to get together for our family.

First, we would figure out the theme for our party and then select some names for each item we were to serve on our menu. Then the dinner would be served in three different courses. We included napkins, drinks and silverware as part of the menu selections.

I would serve them each course according to their filled out menu card and then take away after every course, such as; knife, fork, spoons and used plates and then serve the next course. Everyone is very full by the end of this dinner.

I will be posting some of the things we served after our dinner which is going to be on Halloween.
