I try to give some tips and ideas for what has become a now popular holiday in the UK. The shops are finally stocking Halloween goodies and I enjoy gleaning ideas from different sources which I will share with you over the next month to help you have your best Halloween party - EVER! *Ü*
Last year I had the most wonderful Halloween party with 3 of my girlfriends and my sister which took 2 years in the organisational process. It was everything I had hoped it would be - and more. If you are interested to see what I mean, take a lookie here. *Ü*
This year will be even better - if that is possible! I shall be entertaining 14 of us as my 3 daughters, 3 son-in-laws and my 6 grandchildren will be coming for a BIG party....oh ... and my husband too! *Ü* Lots of preparations, organising and cooking in advance to cut the work nearer the day. It will be an early party - during half term week while the children are off school. *Squeal*. I get soo excited about planning surprises etc.
I have to contact a lady who I met at a boot fair who has several snakes and tarantulas! Hopefully, she will let me 'borrow' a few for props and atmosFEARic purposes! *Ü*
Let's begin with the planning stage. Parties are all about the food. I do like to have something substantial and lots of nibbles too - usually homemade... AND something out of the ordinary - gross to speak! LOL. So this is one website that gives lots of ideas for treats for your little ghouls... and this is another - page 2 - for some really gruesome grub! *Ü* I shall be making the worms for sure.
If you are a member of Pinterest, you may want to check out some Halloween ideas and pin them to your boards to keep for later reference. I do have an enormous amount of 'pins' on my pc which I have collected over the years, so I will share them with you during the month. In the meantime, enjoy the build up...I certainly will. Do let me know if there are any questions and I will do my best to answer. *Ü*
Toots for now peeps.

I followed your party preparations last year, and always had it in mind to come and see what you were doing this year! I'm having my first ever Halloween party this year, and I can't wait! Will be avidly watching your blog for ideas (no pressure lol!) :D
Have a wonderful month Glen, I know how much you love this season.

I cant wait until our shops have pumpkins so we can make loads of pumpkin jam ... and cheese cake. Last year it was an experiment with the insides of the two we carved ...waste not etc ... this year we are telling everyone not to throw it away but pop it round to us... both were soooooo yummy.
Have fun with your party preperations.xx
