Welcome to my first cookbooks and cakestands post! Creating this blog has been a dream of mine for such a long time. So let's gets started, shall we? October is my favorite month of the year. My birthday is in October, my first niece was born in October, and Halloween is just right around the corner. I love everything fall that October has to offer. Visits to the pumpkin patch, hayrides, caramel apples, and of course, the return of blanket scarves, vests, and booties. It has been several weeks now since I first got out my classroom Halloween decorations. Glittered spiders and black pumpkins are now sprinkled throughout. As a family consumer teacher, I also sponsor the Future Homemakers of America. We meet monthly to bake, craft, and enjoy each other's company. We decided to celebrate Halloween a little early during our October meeting with a Halloween themed movie night. I love to make our meetings and events extra special. One of my favorite ways to do this is with decorations. I make a lot of my own items but I also purchase quite a bit too. Party planning and decorating can get expensive so find your local dollar tree and visit it regularly! Their seasonal section is a great place for inexpensive decorations and prizes. I also really love their party supply section. I always purchase things like tablecloths, plates, and tissue paper from this section. Dollar tree had some very fun haunted house items this year. The entrance to our library was decorated for under $10. We are so grateful for our sweet librarian, she always lets us hold our movie night in the library. We love the big screen and the comfy couches. I purchased this scrapbook paper that looks like wood from hobby lobby, cut some letters on my silhouette machine and glued everything to a piece of foam board. $2 later we have this spooky little sign. Movie night wouldn't be complete without buckets full of popcorn. This darling pumpkin is from Target and was the perfect place to store our monster munch. Movie night was a huge success! We can't wait to do it again soon! How are you planning on celebrating Halloween?
