I have been waiting for this Thursday for a long time. Today is finally the day of the IIDA Fashion Show Benefit and Gala. It’s been a lot of work to get to here including month of planning, developing out theme, designing and then creating our 4 costumes. It was so much fun last year (we also won an award!) so I could not wait for today to finally get here. Plus, I couldn’t wait to share this fun Halloween themed punch.

I saw this blood-red punch in Rachael Ray Magazine and knew that I would love it and that it would make for a great punch to serve for a Halloween party.
