I LOVE Halloween! Always have, always will. To me, it's one of the most fun holidays of the year. And since it falls on a weekend this year....
We're having a party!
This is my inspiration! I'm going with a sparkly, colorful theme with lots of pumpkins, spiders, bats and skulls. Once I evaluated what I already had, and what I wanted to make, this is the direction I settled on. I'm excited!
Bright, glittery stuff is everywhere in the stores now, too. I've been picking up cheap whose-its and whats-its galore, and now have a great collection of stuff to deck the house out in! And lemme tell ya, it's like a Halloween workshop in our office/spare room. I've been craftin', glitterin', and preparing for a few weeks now. I'm pumped! Now I'm dreaming of the food and desserts (I'm doing a whole dessert buffet, mmmm sweet).
Here's a breakdown of what's above from the top left:
Brownie Pops - Woman's Day
Witch Costume - Costume Craze
Spiderwebs - Attic Decorating
Light-up Spider - Hammacher Schlemmer
Green Glitter Pumpkin - Target
Silver Skull (center) - Horchow

And wait til you see the costumes I've got planned for Mr Jones and me......
Yay for Halloween!

I tried to convince my Mr. Jones of this great idea.. but alas with a party already planned for this weekend it was a no-go. ;( Oh well can't wait to see what you did and love all the glitter!!
I love all the Halloween glitter!! :) I've been telling my boyfriend that I want to be girly and sparkley, but he claims it's not a costume, haha!!
Can't wait to see the spook-taculor party!!
I am right there with you! I've decorated my pad with plenty of glittery accessories too--my favorite is the glitter skull you have posted here (I bought two of them--couldn't resist!) Can't wait to see how your party comes out; I'm having one this year too!
Hopefully we will be able to make it! I need to start thinking of costumes just in case! Suggestions are welcome.. :)
I love Halloween too!! I am so making those purple cupcakes! so easy too!
