Decidedly, this year will be mostly a grown-up affair for Halloween.  I get bored easily (yes, even of candy...) and though I also have a kid's party to share here soon, in-keeping with the festivities from last week's grown-up Halloween posts ; today I'm showing you how to style a   Halloween Cheese and Wine Party !

The title of the post is a bit of a mouthful - in many ways than one! These candy-corn chocolate covered Oreo cookies are really simple to make (despite the long title). They look super fabulous as a Halloween gift, party favor, or desserts table treat. But most importantly, they taste absolutely scrumptious!! It's also a great recipe or Halloween project to make with the kids . I made them with my 6 year old, so if she can do this, then I'm sure anyone can! ;)

This recipe is perfect for using up end of season fruit that you may have in abundance. It works great with any kind of melon, and you can spike it up with your favorite tipple, or sparkling lemonade. It's as delicious as it is easy to make, and perfect for those lazy summer soirees! ;)

I always thought cootie catcher's looked like clovers, so what more perfect craft to make with kids for St Paddy's Day then a fun Cootie Catcher ?!  We include dares like "Dance Like a Leprechaun", "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" and "Tell a Limerick or Irish Joke" for clean family fun, but I guess you could totally make them into more 'adult' versions with 'Guinness drinking' dares perhaps?! ;)

Hope you're having a great and cozy weekend!  Speaking of which, for my Hot Cocoa Bar post for GigMasters, I came across some super fun ideas when brainstorming for the shoot! As any self-respecting stylists and pin-addict, I naturally pinned quite a few....Here are some of my faves.

Hey guys, just wanted to quickly drop you a note to let you know we have a new tutorial + FREE printables you can download at GetMarried.com ! I have also linked the video below so you can see the DIY project in full on my YouTube channel!

My dad's in town (woo-hoo!!) and he's been seriously helping me out! Not only he plays with the kids, does the washing up (by choice..) , but he also inspires me artistically and actually lends a hand with my party photo shoots and party printable work - Needless to say, the kids are over the moon and so am I! :)
