They have the cutest cupcake wrappers out these days! Found these haunted gate looking ones for the cupcakes that we made, topped with spiders, cats and haunted houses...
more treat jars...love those things, especially with the added labels and vintage looking Halloween toppers.

Made a spooky tree from fallen branches which I took some purple paint and black spray paint to..hung bats and other Halloween ornaments from it. One of my favorite elements of the whole party.
We had dry ice coming out of the cauldron which you can't see too good but what a cool effect...it made gurgling noises like a real witches brew...
Bought these carmeled apples and just added the tulle....whalaa!
Took store bought rice crispy bars, put a craft stick in them and dipped them with chocolate and sprinkles...we filled store bought little pie cups with Oreo ice-cream to make spider pies...ran out of black decorating icing for the webbing. boo.
Added little tags to the straws..it's all about the details! Love the worms.
Made mummies to eat....had apples with caramel and bat poop along with witches frightful fingernails.....

The invite... a print out from one of my favorite computer sites. Added a vintage touch by spray painting left over doilies from the shower I threw and used two different cupcake wrappers (do you know those things are just not for baking cupcakes in?!) for the middle and added a Halloween embellishment. Brie delivered them to her friends in her skeleton p.j.s
Mod Podged these two books with Halloween scrapbook paper...labels were a free download...found those little vintage plates dirt cheap at one of my favorite decor stores..
Found this little guy flying on a crow there too. I snatched him because I heard crows are a really hot decor item this Halloween. serious.
Bought these little jars at the craft store and painted them with a special kind of glass paint. The dark bottle, the crushed bat wings, is actually a pretty purple but the camera didn't pick up on that.
THE GAMES
The Spider Game...who ever collects the black widow (a little red dot sticker on the spider gets the prize)

Birthday morning...opening up gifts.. A Madam Alexander Doll dressed up as a pumpkin. die.
Brie is star student of the week in her class. She took this "Halloween inspired" spotlight poster to school on Monday. Loved putting this together. It tells all about her, showcasing some of her favorite things...her family, Disneyland, music, drawing, dancing, Scooby Doo & Tom and Jerry cartoons, Junie B. Jones books and favorite foods...salad, shrimp, chocolate chip pancakes and broccoli. not kidding on the latter. She loves that stuff!
Hunting for monster eggs...
Our little scaredy cat....Kate woke up from her nap and wondered what the hay was going on...
BOOYA I'm almost 6!

Gift time
The vintage party favors I painted. They are paper mache boxes filled with beans which makes them rattle when you shake...on the back side...a cute saying for little ones spooked while out trick or treating...

Off to school on a snowy morn with her b-day treat bags to share with her classmates.
Love this kid! One of the things I admire most about Brie is her tender heart and the compassion she has for other people at this young of an age. You'll hear her say, "I feel sorry for her". etc. Not too long ago she was praying for an elderly gentleman in our ward who was dying. Each time her words to Heavenly Father melted my heart. Just yesterday she pulled from my church bag a bookmark which has a picture of my deceased sister- in- law on it. She stared and stared at it without saying a word. And then I could tell she was going to cry. we miss her. So we hugged and burst into tears together. Tender moment I tell ya. Another thing I love about her is that she has memorized parts of the primary songs "I Wonder When He Comes Again" (one of my all time fav Primary songs) and "Book of Mormon Stories" on the piano. She just sits down at random times throughout the day and plunks away at it. Tickles me to death. Happy Birthday to my sweet B. Olivia. Love you!
You know Jaren is right. Right?
ReplyDeleteI love it!
What IS your favorite download website? We're in party mode for this weekend. And you KNOW there is no help for a HARBOR SEAL birthday party at Iparty.
Oh, and that average homemade rootbeer with dry ice in a cauldron every mormon party trick is a REAL crowd pleaser here on the east coast. Our non ward party attending/REAL drinking crowd was REALLY wowwed by that trick on Boo's first birthday. Of course, we have to have the Albertson's extract "imported".
Ok, and forget the craft story. There are humongous crows ON MY ROOF this week. What the? I'm ready to go all "Steel Magnolia" on them. It's creeping me out.
And finally, you are BRAVE to have that all at your house. After last year's take #1 on the harbor seal party, we are vacating the premisis Saturday to raise hell somewhere ELSE. Have not told the YMCA yet that we're hauling in a cotton candy machine. As you may well know, it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
And I really should email you. This "discussion" is getting lengthy.
But seriously, help me out with the downloads.
And come plan my 40th! WIll you?
Angie, you are freakin' amazing! Your bridal shower was wonderful and this was just plain amazing. I bow to you, master of the party!
ReplyDeleteI realize now I'm going to need your help on pretty much every party I plan from now on. You have been warned!
Brie (and your other lovely girls) are so lucky to have such a crafty, talented and amazing mom. You are so great.
The picture of brie giving two thumbs-up with all the party-goers says it all! Katie loved the party. Thanks for inviting her. I too would love to know the website where you get all your downloads for invitations and pictures!
