O' I love to do so many wonderful things, hosting parties for family and friends, cake decorating which works well with all these parties. Plus I started couponing in 2011, I use to clip a few here and there, but never really saved more then a couple of dollars. NEW STORY NOW! A friend and I saw a few of those couponing shows. We were hooked! We clipped, organized and then planned our trips. My it has been so much fun!! Join in and follow my adventure.

Halloween Birthday Party Update

Party Time

Party day arrived and we had so much fun!
 


                                                             Welcome to our Party



My favorite part of Halloween is pumpkin carving




 


 
The entrance way has treats, glow sticks, lollipops, and skull bracelets
Used a little pumpkin for the lollipops.
 
 
Used to plastic table covers to make the curtain and saw the spider on Pinterest.
 
 
Candy Buffet, every kids dream



 



 
 
Used cheese cloth to make the furniture look old.
 
 
 
Used white table cloth to cover up small cabinet. Saw this on Pinterest.  
 
 
 
                                                        What would a party be without a cake?
                                         Wanted to make something a little on the spooky side.


 
                                               A few party games for these young teens

                                                  Had to go with the traditional apple bob




Everyone got there picture take in front of this back drop
 
 




Found the balloons and napkins at Target

Halloween Party

Starting to get the decorating going for a Halloween Party.


We have never decorated for Halloween before. So I  got a few idea's from Pinterest.
Spent most of my decorating budget at the dollar store, then ran with what you see here.
 

 
    Plan to get some pumpkins to add to the porch

                                   Needed something a little spooky, found this at Walgreens
                                                        already on clearance for $3.49


                                                  Will add more treats the day of the party                                             






                                             
                                                               BAT INVASION!!!
 
 
MORE PICS TO COME...
