10 steps to a fabulous Halloween Party

ONE. invite a little cat

 TWO. set the table with handmade goodie bags

 THREE. make candy apples with twigs 

 FOUR. wear a spider on your head

FIVE. poison your guests 

 SIX. serve goblins eyeballs (bacon wrapped mini-potatoes with a sour-cream dipping sauce)

 SEVEN. eat the cat. Opps - she just hopped up on the table. No one ate her:)

 EIGHT. dinasour eggs and eyeballs. ghost chips. 'Devils' eggs. a pumpkin cheese-ball (not pictured)

 NINE. light candles and pour the vampire blood (red wine)

TEN. send guests home with beautiful gift bags, leftovers in take-out containers, chocolates, and candy.

p.s. - You also must be my mother-in-law to be able to pull something like this off. I seriously could NEVER do anything on this scale! There were so many other details that I didn't mention... I should send the pictures in to Martha Stewart or perhaps do some blog features of her crafts and decor ideas? I'm sure I could fill a post a day from now until Christmas. Thank you hosting a beautiful dinner!!
