Entry way, spider protecting her egg sack and bats flying

Decor inside . . .

Heres what played on the TV all night...a flaming skull my husband made

Here's a shot with a flash so you can see some of the decor better

Here's two shots of my spooky family portrait wall one flash, one not

The Speciman Bar (AKA candy bar)

The food table

The food table was based on phobias...

fear of vegetables, birds, hands, cockroaches, etc

DIY Gifts

So I'm still waiting for photos of the party to show everyone, and I can't wait until they come so I can share! In the mean time November 1st kicks off my DIY gift making extravaganza! OK.....so maybe it's not an extravaganza, and more like me toiling away in my studio with a cup of tea. But a girl has to make her life exciting somehow!!

I found these really fun gift ideas this morning . . .

Love this idea for my Die Hard Pop friends. It's a great tutorial by Craft Lady Lindsay

I also love this T-Vest created by Wobisobi

These are crazy...but funny. I think it would be cooler with one of those decorative arizona tea cans. Like the one pictured below this.

Recycled Bracelets

I love this idea for wrapping by Rachel at Lines across my Face ...You have your child scribble all over paper (you could even have them do this with colors that coordinate with your wrapping paper). Then you cut it as the tutorial shows and create bows for your packages! Love it!
