Cheapy, Creepy, Halloween Party Invitations

September 22, 2010 15 Comments

Handsome Hubby and I decided to have a Halloween Party this year. (OK. I decided to throw it and told HH that I hoped he would attend…) I want to do this as inexpensively as possible, but with style.

I love Christmas. I love the entire time period from the day after Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day. We have special holiday movies that only come out once a year (It’s a Wonderful Life vies for viewing time right alongside Scrooged.) We have wassail almost constantly simmering. We have elves that leave early yuletide treats […]
