You could also do similar sandwiches with other fun Halloween shaped cookie cutters - how about ghosts made with white bread?! We've got a great cookie set available which could work really well.

Halloween drinks anyone?

Continuing on with our Halloween theme this week here's a few fun ideas for serving drinks ...

I love this idea of sticking cutout witch silhouettes on mini milk bottles and adding little witches hats to the paper straws

'Mummy' juice or milk boxes - you can get the eyes from a craft shop or $2 shop or just draw them on

Serve your cocktails in a fun DIY decanter & glassware. Here's the tutorial.

Halloween decoration ideas

My favourite celebration is coming up ... Halloween!

I have been seeing heaps of fab ideas over the last few weeks and thought I would share a few of my favourites starting with decorating ideas (will share some other things later in the week too).

I am very tempted to decorate our trees like this! What a fun idea!

And how about some 'chicken wire ghosts'? these would look fabulously spooky lit up in the garden!
