[greeneyedgirl107]

Last year I started this late, so I figured that this year I'd start early!  Feel free to post about all things fall, Halloween, beauty and everything in between.  Answer as many or as few prompts as you'd like, and know that you're encouraged to add your own ideas as well!

October 1: Who's your favorite witch?

October 2: Top three candies to have in your trick or treat bag...and bottom three.

October 3: What's your decorating style?  It could be for Halloween or autumn in general.

I’m not really a PSL person. I did make a pumpkin risotto one year for thanksgiving that turned out pretty yummy.

I'm a little late to this party so I'll do a few at once:

October 1st: Who's your favorite witch? I would have to say Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter, as well as Sophie Hatter from Howl's Moving Castle (the book, not the movie)

October 2nd: Top 3 and bottom 3 candies to have in your treat bag? Top 3 are Reese's, Twix, and Sour Patch Kids; bottom 3 are Starbursts, Skittles, and any kind of gum.

October 3rd: What's your decorating style? My mom puts out fall tabletop decorations (preserved leaves🍁🍂, dried ears of Indian corn🌽, etc.). We don't really do Halloween decorations (my brother and I are grown and we never get trick or treaters at our house anymore).

I don’t usually decorate for Halloween/Fall. I might put out a few pumpkins this year though. I save all my decorating energy for Christmas. Some years my tree has been up before Halloween😂

My autumnal decor is a warm throw blanket on the couch for extra warmth and coziness while watching TV! 😂

Now the my girls are a little older, we’ve been getting into pumpkin carving. That’s about as Halloween as we get. The neighbours one block down go all out with inflatables on their lawns, so we take a detour on the way home so we can look at them. 🎃

[CorgiMommy]

What's your decorating style?

Lots of pumpkins (real and not real), some cute little signs and new this year Halloween themed gnomes.   I got into the gnome craze a few years ago for Christmas and when I saw the Halloween ones I had to get some.

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu thanks

[caitbird]

@CorgiMommy  I used to work at TJ Maxx and we had every kind of gnome you could possibly imagine plus a few more lol, I think it kind of put me off gnomes a bit 😅 these little guys are cute though!

[CorgiMommy]
