Halloween Party

I finally have a little time to stop and go through the Monster Halloween pictures. This party was for my grandson.  I just love that little boy so much and he was so excited and very happy. 

 

Let’s start off with the centerpieces.  I wanted something nice and easy. I went a cleaning mitt and added a googly eye.  I placed the mitt over a small vase and sat it on a plastic bin that I covered with paper.  I loved how they came out.

  I initially wanted to hang the paper lanterns from the ceiling, but due to my height I had to hang them on on the wall.

The activity section was foam Halloween cut-outs that the children could decorate.  Dani (my daughter) created the balloon columns

There was also a section for monster bowling.  I took empty soda bottles and decorated them.

We also did pin-the eye on the monster. Dani did a great job painting the monster.                   

 

This section was the photo booth.  I created this out of a card board lemonade stand.   I purchased this at CVS during their summer clearance sale, I paid little to nothing.  Kind of mad that I didn’t buy 2 =). Oh well, but with a little decorations it came out nice, have to give Dani props on this one she did the decorating.

 I mixed some store bought items and some items that I made to create the dessert buffet.

 We went with cupcakes from the supermarket and I added monster cupcake liners and picks.  You can never go wrong with cupcakes and I love cupcakes especially Stop and Shop, the best..  Also on the table giant pixy sticks, doughnuts, cheese puffs,  lollipops, Little Debbie pumpkin delights.  OMG one of the parents asked me how I made those, once I told her my secret we got a big kick out of that one.  Lol!  

I made the marshmallow pops, chocolate covered oreos and pretzels.

 One happy Power Ranger!!

Monster Party

Quincy’s Monster Party was this weekend and the kids had a so much.  Quincy was so happy to see his cousins and friends from school.  Can you pick out Quincy?  I can’t wait to get the pictures back from Yolanda. Thank you for being there and taking the pictures, because we all know my eyes see something totally different with a camera :)!

My Little Monster!

Monster and crafts, oh my!  What do you think of my monsters? I love how they came out, nice and easy. Cute and not to scary, right?  Quincy (my grandson) is getting so excited and I love seeing him so happy.

T.E.A.R.S. Project

Last year, I created a small dessert display for my aunt's mentoring group T.E.A.R.S (Teens,Equally,Accepting,Responsibility,Socially).  I had a great experience and I enjoyed talking with young ladies.

Enjoy!

Something to Make you say mmmmmmmm......

I know this is early, but I could not help myself.  I was visiting my family in NC last week and went into a new craft store  ;)! as soon as you walked in the door, there they were in some many colors.  I’ve never seen Christmas trees in so many colors.  I just had to share.  Now the real question is would you buy a Christmas tree in red, pink or even orange?  

Monster Bash

It’s that time of the year and I am so excited to share with you this awesome invite that was created for my grandson’s monster bash.  Is this cute or what?  My go-to person, Chase hit a home run on this. I literally jumped out of seat when I saw it.  Are you looking for someone to create invites? Give him a holler at cw.grogan@gmail.com.  I love working with him, he gets it right every time!

A Targets Tip

I don't know about you, but I love a good bargain.  Here is a helpful tip that I found on Pinterest!


 

EVERY Target shopper NEEDS to know this: If the price ends in 8, it will be marked down again. If it ends in a 4, it's the lowest it will be. Target's mark down schedule. - MONDAY: Kids’ Clothing, Stationery (office supplies, gift wrap), Electronics. TUESDAY: Women’s Clothing and Domestics. WEDNESDAY: Men’s Clothing, Toys, Health and Beauty. THURSDAY: Lingerie, Shoes, Housewares. FRIDAY: cosmetics. This is maybe the best pin EVER
