The long awaited moment has come and gone and I am left with continued feelings of tingles and light headedness brought on by muscular werewolves, sparkling vampires and true love!
My friends Emily E. and Jodi M. threw an amazing and very *glam* New Moon party! The house was totally decked out (with a little of my help, of course-)
And here she is in all her sparkling glory--our hostess, Alice (AKA Emily E.).
The Decorations were very glamorous! The photos don't quite do justice. These are a couple of cuties that attended the party. All in all, there were well over 50 moms and daughters. It was standing room only!
Here are three *GLAM*pires. Jodi, Kimberly, and Me.
Alex arrived about an hour into the party dressed like Edward! All of the ladies cheered wildly! He was the only guy there (in addition to a little baby).
This photo is a bit odd. It's the Alex Edward giving the real Edward a few pointers on the ladies.
Hannah and her true love, Jacob. She sat at his feet the whole night.
Hannah and Mikaela with Jacob (of course)!
Cute little glampire, Emily with wolf boy, Jacob. Emily and I screamed and giggled through the entire movie! I loved being a teen again--I am shameless, I know!
Here I am with my hunk, Edward and my movie tickets. I got asked later by Buska if I was going to scrap them. Well, OF COURSE! What else??? After the party, we headed to the movie. Theater #8 opened just as we arrived, saving us from the cold night air, and we sat comfortably in our seats for two hours. The hype was just as much fun as the movie!

Here I am with my little Edward. He had 8 girls ask to take a photo with him at the movie. He really knows how to snag the chicks! He wore white face paint and eye liner, but refused the glitter. I don't know why. Vampires are supposed to sparkle!
The drinks. The labels and photos were downloaded from hostess with the mostess She does amazing work! Such a gift to the obsessed Twilight fan!
The food. I can't believe that I didn't get a photo of my hot pink vampire lips cucumber sandwiches! I made the bread from scratch, dyed it red, cut it out with lips cookie cutters, added cucumbers and seasoned cream cheese or cheese and ham cut out like lips, and added slivered almonds for the fangs. They were awesome, yummy, and GONE in 5 minutes! They were so much work, but the night was so crazy that I didn't take the time to take a pic :(
The gift table. Here is another missed photo op. I did a lot of work on these gifts and ran out of time to snap a pic.

We played the gift exchange game, and I wanted to take a gift that would definitely be fought over! I always love a good fight :)
I purchased wolf and heart crystal charms from ebay and pre-made (hand-made) bracelets. One was ice blue for Edward, one was red for Bella, and I made a Native American one for Jacob. The charms came in the mail the day of the party (I was soooo happy) and I wanted to attach them to the bracelets, but I ran out of time and had to attach them to the bags. I sewed a blue velvet bag for the Edward bracelet which was in a silver heart box with a treble clef on it that I amazingly found at a thrift store. I sewed a faux suede bag with fringe for the Jacob bracelet which was placed in a brown box and tied with a leather lace. James picked up a red sparkly bag from the dollar store (THANK YOU JAMES YOU SAVED ME) and I happened to find a red velvet box for the Bella bracelet at aforementioned thrift store. I added tags with each character's photo on and poof they were gone--into someone else's loving hands!
They were awesome gifts if I do say so myself, and I can because Alex got a box of band-aides, which is appropriate for Bella and her klutziness, but anyway...
They were fought over, a lot! It was really fun! Wish I could show ya. But I can't.
Emily and I enjoying New Moon together! What a great tool to bond mothers and daughters! I had so much fun sharing all of this excitement with my daughters (and son). Thank you Stephenie Meyer and our amazing hostesses for a terrific and very special and exciting night!
