Halloween is a fun time of festivities and parties. Trick or treating and haunted houses are traditions.
Anyone who knows me knows I love Halloween Parties and decorating. I’ve hosted many a party for family, friends, and my son’s classmates and friends.
While all the Halloween celebrations can be fun, it can also be expensive. I have found many of the things you want to use for decoration can be made at home for a fraction of the cost.
