Getting Ready for Tonight!

We prepped some of the decorations last night, but there is still lots to be done today, hopefully I can get it done with little stress! Happy Weekend before Halloween!

Harry Potter Craft Tutorial

Getting ready for this Saturday's Harry Potter Halloween party!  

Making some Golden Snitch decorations and they are super easy. 

Supplies: small styrofoam balls, glitter, glue, toothpics, paper, scissors

1. use glue to cover the styrofoam balls in glitter.

2. cut out 4 matching wings from the paper (2 per wing) 

and glue them together sandwiching the toothpick in between

3. make small cuts all along both sides of your wing

4. poke the toothpicks into the styrofoam ball

Voila! I think I'm going to take some fishing line and string them up but they could also be table top decorations. I'm super excited for Saturday!!!!

Halloween is so soon! I could really use another week! I was just going through my pinboard to make a list and try to feel somewhat organized for the party, hopefully I can persuade some friends into helping out!

Guest Post > Vintage Halloween Decorations

Hi everyone! I'm Colleen and I blog over at Hello Olive. 

October means only one thing: Halloween! Even here in South Africa where it isn't traditionally celebrated, there are costumes and decorations for sale in the shops. My son celebrates his birthday this month and I can't wait until he is old enough to have a Halloween Party. In the meantime, here are some cool (and scary!) vintage decorations I've found.

Prom at 30 - Why Not??

It's my 30th birthday in 2 weeks (July 9th to be exact). I typically do a themed party, although the birth of Miss Lily has stopped them from happening the last 2 years, but this year is a big one, so a party shall be had! The theme is prom, purely so I have an excuse to wear a fancy dress and pretend I am 16 not 30! 


Here are some of the things I am looking at for decor inspiration
