Come To the Halloween Party!

It's Halloween Party time!

Come on and join us, Glitterinas!

The mummies are ready to help decorate the 

yard for the party!

We started decorating in the morning and worked 

until we had everything ready.

These girls worked on the big spider web....

doesn't it look spooky?

We set up decorations.....

.....and games.....

......and a cute photo spot!

When our trick or treaters first arrived they picked up 

a bag for all their goodies, 

signed up for the cackling contest, 

picked out a spider ring and a sticker.

These two smiling faces greeted all of 

the party go-ers!

There were fun games for groups to play....

lots of room to run and play....

....with fun skeletons watching all the fun!

Our cute trick or treaters bobbed for apples....

.....pitched beanbags.....

.....and played lawn match games!

I enjoyed watching a ninja, Darth Vader and a large piece 

of pepperoni pizza laughing and playing a game!

All of the guesses for the weight of a big ol' pumpkin

and how many candy corns were in the jar,

had lots of thought 

put into each.

The winners got to take a trip to the 

Prize Table!

Everyone who played got candy and little 

fun treasures.

The photo spot turned out to be a fun background 

for lots of characters who came to enjoy 

the Halloween party!

A bat!

Wonder Woman, pizza, an alien, Darth Vader

and others.....

Rain Forest Girl, a rodeo clown, and more!

Sister Scarecrow and Brother Rodeo Clown!

Along with games 

and candy 

and streamers 

and pumpkins.....

.....there were friends having a nice visit!

Halloween tic-tac-toe.....

......lots of smiling pumpkins....

......were all there along with

hot dogs, chips, and a quick stop at the dessert table!

The Five Gables Halloween Party was lots of fun!

Everyone left the party with fun memories 

of games, friends and laughter

and 

a party bag full of candy and little treasures.

Several of the cute, little party go-ers told me they 

were already looking forward to next year's party!

I don't think I could ask for a better review than that,

do you, Glitterinas?

Nothing too spooky.....

.....just the right touch of Halloween enjoyment!

Our grand~darlings all had a favorite game or activity 

from the party that they wanted to talk about.....

made me smile!

That made all the work worth it!

I'm so glad you got to stop by 

Pink Glitter 

today and join in some of the fun 

at our Halloween party!

Thanks for sharing the fun.....

See you next time, Glitterinas!

Happy Halloween,

Tammy

Party Mummies

Welcome, Glitterinas!

I'm so glad you stopped by 

Pink Glitter!

I made some mummies for our 

Halloween party 

and I thought you might want
to make some, too.

 Here are the simple steps 

I used to make these 

mummies.

My husband made the wooden bases 

for me from leftover wood pieces.

A piece of thin wood is the base
with a piece of 2X4 standing up for
the top.

I used some thin, linen-type, white 

material for the wrapping and 

each mummy also got two wiggly eyes.

I cut long strips of the white material.....

 jagged edges look best for wrapping the mummies.

To wrap each mummy, I started at the top, 

with a strip of material that had a knot tied in the end.

Then I just wrapped and wrapped...

around and around....

.....when one strip of material runs out, 

tie another strip to it, leaving the ends sticking 

out about 

an inch past the knot.

About two or three wraps from the top

I left a gap in the material 

for the eyes.

When I finished wrapping the whole mummy

I glued two wiggly eyes on the space I left at the top.

Kinda cute, huh?

I just kept on wrapping until all the 

mummy bases were covered with 

strips of material and had two eyes.

These mummies will stand in a lively row 

at our Halloween party 

as part of the decorations.

Until the party, some will be standing by 

the fireplace.....

.....and some will be standing in the 

dining room.

If you drop by to visit,

please don't be too frightened by 

the mummies that we have 

standing around just 

waiting for 

Halloween!

If you are having a party

you might think about adding some 

cute mummies to your decorations.

Leave me a comment and let me 

know what you think of my 

mummies!

Thanks, Glitterinas!

You are the best.

Until next time,

Tammy

A Basket Full of Sweets!

Hello, Glitterinas!

The grand~darlings and I love projects.

We also love sweets.

This project combines both of these things!

We're going to make Halloween candy skewers.

If you know someone, of any age, maybe yourself, who likes
candy and a bit of fun, this could be a project
you'd enjoy making and sharing.

Start with a basket full of sweets....

......items like gummy fingers and eyes, 

ghost, pumpkin, Frankenstein, and kitty peeps,

peach rings,

orange mint lifesavers,

and

pumpkin spice marshmallows

were in the basket.

We also used the medium length wooden skewers.

The short would not hold enough goodies and 

the long would take too much.....so, medium

hit the spot!

We laid all the sweet treats out on our work table,

took a paper plate to work on,

chose a skewer and began!

We decided to make our first skewer all together....

so we took turns choosing which item

would be used first, second, and so on.

Peeps make a good anchor item because they 

are nice and sticky on the skewer.

The gummy eyes were good anchors, too.

Then the other items just feed on in a pleasing order.

The lifesaver mint rings make a cute hat for 

the Peeps.

We just kept adding items until our skewers 

were full.

The pumpkin spice marshmallows make a nice topper for 

each skewer, too.

Here are some finished skewers.

Cute, huh?

The fingers and eyes are a bit creepy to me, but it 

is Halloween!  

The grands loved them!

My crafty grand~darlings loved posing 

with their Halloween candy creations.

Then when they thought they just couldn't stand it any longer......

chomp!

The candy was all sooo good!

Since they just ate the candy off of one skewer, there 

were no tummy aches!  And the fun lasted until the

next day!

Give these fun Halloween treats a try, 

Glitterinas!

They'll put a smile on just about any face!

Thank you so much for taking some 

time from your day to stop in here at 

Pink Glitter!

I appreciate you opening and reading this post!

Hugs and sweets,

Tammy
