10/18: Post your own prompt.

Are Peeps just for Easter?  Yea or nay

I'm actually undecided!  Peeps were only available at Easter when I was a youngster.  It's so weird to see Peeps at other holidays--I still think Easter even when they look like ghosts (aren't they cute?).

[caitbird]

@Titian06  I had no idea there were ghost peeps! They are pretty cute, I have to admit!

[Titian06]

@caitbird - I found the ghost Peeps at Kroger and pumpkin and monster (think what people inaccurately call "Frankenstein") at Target.

[CorgiMommy]

I am not a peeps lover except to make a diorama with at Easter.  The ghost one look like they would be fun too. @Titian06

10/18 post your own prompt.

Candy corn, yay or nay?

I personally love candy corn.   I buy one bag to enjoy. 

[Samtian]

@CorgiMommy yay!

[Titian06]

@CorgiMommy - I love candy corn and do the same! 🤍💛🧡

[CorgiMommy]

10/17 what Halloween scent would you love to have turned into a fragrance?

I think something earthy would be interesting like pine and moss with other dark notes.  I would call.it spooky forest or foggy cemetery for laughs. 

[caitbird]

@CorgiMommy  I like this idea, it's definitely different and interesting!

[CorgiMommy]

Thanks @caitbird 

[Titian06]

Definitely up my dark and spooky ally, @CorgiMommy ! 👻🖤

[CorgiMommy]

Thanks, I figured pumpkin everything is over done @Titian06 

[CynthieLu]

Foggy Cemetery is a great name! @CorgiMommy  👏 

I would buy it! Especially in like a tombstone shaped candle or something, it'd be so spot on for Halloween. 

[CorgiMommy]

Definitely it would come in a tombstone container @CynthieLu 

[Titian06]

10/17: What Halloween scent would you love to be turned into a spray-able fragrance?  I have wax melts called "Kitchen Spice" that I love:  cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and vanilla.

[CynthieLu]

That sounds like very a comforting aroma 🧡 @Titian06 I can just picture smelling the yummy smells of seasonal baking, like spices and vanilla. 

[Titian06]

It is comforting, @CynthieLu ! 🤗

[CorgiMommy]

That sounds lovely @Titian06 

[Titian06]

It is, @CorgiMommy ! 🥰
