halloween party | Tania's Design Studio

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween. We are from Westcoast Canada and well, it was a very wet Halloween, but fun nonetheless. I wanted to setup a small sweets table (and display my free 2012 Halloween banner) for the kiddos before their trick or treating. I chose to stay with a black and white color scheme with pops of color here and there.

I found these really cute spider cupcake holders at HomeSense (HomeGoods). They were just too cute to pass up!

I also found these sparkly Halloween themed stickers at Michael’s just a few days before the big day and decided to make them the cupcake toppers.

The one treat that I did get around to making were these mummy pretzel sticks. They were so easy…these mummies were yummy!

You can download this banner in the freebie section, just right click and save to your computer and you can have a head start to next years decorations.

All the best!

With Halloween around the corner, I wanted to share these really great sweets recipes that I have been collecting and planning to create this year, I hope you can find one or two things to inspire you to get baking!

So tonight, our family went together to pick out the boys Halloween costumes. I would have loved to have done this sooner in the season because, as most last minute people know, it is slim pickings! However, it is not procrastination on my part, rather my boys change their minds so many times before Halloween that I have in the past, bought up to three costumes each before the big day. I am getting smarter each year and have outwitted them this time…hopefully, but only time will tell!

As the header of this post reads, “Halloween Sweets…and Treat,” I want to share my Friday Freebie as the treat! It is a Happy Halloween Banner and Party Sign along with a Neighbourhood “BOO-ed” activity. To download the printables, go to my “freebies” tab on my top menu bar.

Please share this post with your friends or Pin It to help spread the word!

Happy Trick or Treating!
