..... And big ones too!
Still not inspired for a big (or little) Halloween party? Grab some pumpkins, candles and some sticks from your back yard. Add some twinkle lights and voila, your home is magically transformed.
Well maybe it's not that easy, but with a few decorations, one great cocktail and some basic food you can have a fun and fantastic Halloween party! Here are a few ideas for you...
First of all...
Set the mood by adding something nice to your front entry.
No time to carve pumpkins? Simply arrange a few around the entry. Add battery powered candles if you feel uncomfortable with open flames.
Nice soft lighting makes your guests feel at ease.
Start with a fabulous cocktail!

Hint: Add a few drops of canola oil to a paper towel and lightly rub the bamboo skewer before sliding the candy on. It makes things much easier. Arrange in a large vase or pitcher.

off feeling all warm and toasty!
Coffee after a party is the universal sign of
"Thanks for coming and good night".
