Once Upon a Michelle

Halloween is on a Saturday this year and I couldn't be more thrilled. One of my favorite movies/themes/books is Alice in Wonderland. What's better than a little dark Alice in Wonderland action then for a theme for this year's Halloween party? Goblins and ghouls are so outdated. ;)

I am so full of ideas for this party. If only there were no budget! I'll be making and decorating cupcakes with little "Eat Me" tags (just as the drinks will have "Drink Me" tags on them.
I plan to display these on my new cupcake tray from Crate & Barrel on a checkerboard table cloth... ever the homage to the chess pieces in Alice in Wonderland. Speaking of which, I found a garden size chess set which I'm considering purchasing. Pieces range from 4 to 8 inches so they're not TOO large, but definitely over sized. We'll see where I decide to display this... It's sorta too cool to NOT have at the party. Additionally, I've been wanting to learn how to play and this might be the right tools to use to learn. :)
