In preparation for my yearly Halloween party, I settled on a cute idea to dress up some candy that was a bit lackluster. I also made some place cards for my guests. Read on.....

| Hershey's Kisses with meltaway centers are delicious. They also come nicely wrapped in Halloween appropriate orange (with silver) foil. (For some reason I can't find the kisses wrapped in solid orange and black foil. Are they still making them?) To dress them up I asked Autumn to put a Halloween sticker on the bottom of each one. The stickers were $1 at the Target dollar spot and I bought them a while ago, unsure at the time what I would do with them. Now I know :) |

| The green 'EEK' bowl is courtesy of my sister. It was the perfect dish to hold all my decked out kisses. So simple, yet really festive! |
 |
| Next I made place cards for the guests (but only photographed two of them). Using paint swatches from the paint counter, I cut the tops and bottoms with embellished scissors and wrote the name of each guest on the front. Then, I punched out the perforated hole at the bottom and pushed a Hershey's Kiss through. The kiss is just the right height to act as a stand and hold up the card. I thought they were pretty cute.....until I saw the photo on my computer screen. Ugh! They were boring and needed something else. |
 |
| Tada!!!! The women's cards perked up with the addition of a black gross grain bow, and the men's cards received little designs using an orange, glitter glue pen. Whew! Two projects down...... |

No hard feelings, I just haven't been on my blog much and I was super busy this weekend, so I deleted everything in my reader without actually looking at it-I had over 400+ posts in it! I am thinking they are kind of getting lost in the shuffle. Have you thought about posting your posts on FB? I might see them better then. Or, do you have a "subscribe by email"? I feel bad that I haven't seen the last couple. Good job with the scarf-and it looks like you are planning on a LOT of guests at your party!:)
I have been checking out all the cute Kisses ideas! Love how simple but cute yours is:) Almost makes me wish we celebrated Halloween, so we could come to your cool party;)
