Do You Boo? Halloween Countdown

One of our favorite family traditions during the month of October is "boo-ing" our neighbors.  It makes the perfect family night activity-- making treats, eating treats, attaching a fun poem, then sneaking around in the dark ringing doorbells while giggling hysterically and finally running away like mad after making the drop, all the while hoping not to get caught.

Oh yes--it is definitely my children's favorite thing to do ....mine is eating the extra treats!


Today I'm sharing some of my favorite boo printables--all darling, and free!

Moving inside.....in the past I have never really decorated for Halloween, mostly just FALL. This year I find myself smitten with all the fun decor and broke down and attempted to get into the "spirit of things"
I felt it was missing something.........I added some scrap fabric I had laying around and filled my spider cider with coffee beans

Found this free printable and printed and framed it.

And these free labels I printed and adhered to my jars with 3M glue spray, added water and food coloring.....then went outside and found branches to add to the look.  -  LABELS HERE



Everything was "FREE" I surprised myself with how many things you can "download" on the internet.
Although not as nice as these...............

I love this.......but it would never last a day in my house

Great idea for "the party" love the frightful names.
