Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday! I love dressing up; it's the one time of year where you're allowed to be someone else.
My friends and I throw a Halloween bash every year. It's called the Worst Witch party. It all stemmed from my friend Jennifer and my love for the classic 80's movie The Worst Witch starring a young Fairuza Balk, Tim Curry and Mrs Garrett from the Facts of Life. What started as an innocent introduction of the movie to her then 3 year old has snow balled into this awesome get together that we now know as "Worst Witch".
I made up some invites for this shindig.
I got the adorable witch hats from The Cutting Cafe. And I used Copic markers and Stickles.
What you will need:- Black cardstock base, folded at 6 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches
- 3 different colors of cardstock cut to 6 x 3 1/2 inches. I used purple, orange and lime green.
- Same 3 colors of cardstock cut to 5 1/2 x 3 inches.
- Same 3 colors of cardstock cut to 3 1/4 x 3/4 inches. This will be the "tag" your sentiment goes on. I printed the words "Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's the worst witch of them all?" for my sentiment. It is a line from the title song of the Worst Witch movie.
- Halloween themed ribbon cut to 5 1/2 inches.
- Distressing ink, any color you like.
- markers
- Halloween stamps
Here are all the supplies cut.
And here are my sentiment tags. I only used 2 colors and I wish I would have made up some purple tags too.
You just layer all of the cardstock, glue the ribbon on the bottom of your top cardstock, glue your witch hats to the top cardstock and put your party information on the inside of the card. I had printed up my party info and used the cut little digi stamps from the above link. I forgot to take a picture of the inside, unfortunately. They were really cute though.
I also made some cute eating utensil holders. It's as easy as it looks. You just wrap Halloween themed scrapbook paper around your napkin and plastic utensils. This can be done for any holiday or event.
Here are some of the decorations I put up this year.
I got this cute bat copper sculpture from AJ's Copper Garden. The only bat I like.
My cute dining room.
The spider house!
I made the witch legs out off pool noodles, slapped some tights on them and put some funky platform shoes on. I got the idea from Pinterest, of course.
I made caramel apples. I dipped them in nuts, Reese's Pieces and chopped up Butterfingers. I mother said hers was delicious!
And then I wrapped them.
I made up some swag buckets complete with a box of Boogers!
There were lots of yummy dishes at the party but one of my favorites was this Snake Calzone from Kraft.
Costumes are optional at Worst Witch. I always opt for costume!
I went as a pink haired living dead girl. I jokingly said I was Jem, 30 years later. One day I will dress up as Jem but only when I'm able to do it right.
My niece Chandler. Also, please note the cute little witch shoe candle holder.
Aniyah (the mummy) and Stacy (the witch) or as I like to say, Goldie Hawn at the end of Death Becomes Her.
My mom
Miranda came as Sally
The evening consisted of yummy, ghoulish foods, games, dancing and a viewing of the Worst Witch. I think everyone had a good time. I can't wait to plan for next year!
And lastly, I made this wonderful Halloween cake to take to work on Halloween.
Look how beautiful the inside of it is!
I took this to work and all but one little slice was gone. The cake was so moist and sweet. I'm definitely making it again. I'll probably make a Christmas version.
Here's where I got the recipe---> Cooking With Sugar
I can't believe it's all over!
Thanks for reading! I'll be blogging again soon. Christmas is coming which means Christmas card making time!
Anything can happen on Halloween,
Jules
