BIC's 2023 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

[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!

This officially starts October 1.  But if you just can't wait then, here are some prompts: Ideas to kick off fall?  Any superstitions?  Favorite things about pumpkins?  Mars or Hershey's brand candy?  Ways to keep your spirits up as the season changes?  Creepy things that you enjoy?  Halloween  nail ideas?  What colors compliment orange and black?  How have you noticed Halloween changing over time?  Any cocktails or mock-tails that sound interesting?  Favorite sounds of the season?  Are you into the Hocus-Pocus movie mania?  Best baked goods?

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.

[CynthieLu]

Awwww that photo is priceless 😂🍍 @JoSometimes 

[JoSometimes]

This photo was a few years ago @CynthieLu. I remember he wasn’t too keen to be up there and be crowded out by the other fruits!

[CorgiMommy]

October 28:  would you ever dress up your pets?

I would love to but they don't like it.  Putting a jacket on them in the cold weather can be a struggle sometimes.

[JoSometimes]

@CorgiMommy This is so true! The only dog I know was my family’s dog back home. My sister used to dress him in all kids of things and he had absolutely no issue wearing them!

October 26: Do you prefer tricks or treats? Treats! 

October 27: Do you send Halloween cards? No

October 28: Would you ever dress up your pets? Absolutely. I would constantly dress up my dogs if they would allow it!

October 28: Would you ever dress up your pets?

My cat, we got her a lobster 🦞 costume this year. Its priceless. 😁😂

We didn't make her wear it very long, she was not a fan. So we got a blurry picture and rescued her from it.

Lol definitely, we are very lucky she puts up with us 😂 @Titian06, is any of your crew dressing up? Ivan perhaps 😉😻

[Titian06]

@CynthieLu - No, I don't even try to dress Ivan up.  I can only imagine what it would be like to put a costume of any type on him! 😄

[CynthieLu]
