PARTY MAGIC MASH-UPS: THE HALLOWEEN EDITION In line with the month of November, I thought that it would be fun to showcase another party related to the month’s festivities. Whereas last Tuesday I blogged about Nisha’s Book of Life party, a themed party focused on a movie about the Day of the Dead, this time I’m going to blog about a party with a Halloween aspect.
