It's my favorite time of year. Halloween! You know me and costumes!! And being extra!!! And gift giveaway planning!!!!
All these factors combined, obviously I can't wait each year to kick off the boo-ing tradition my neighborhood. If you're not familiar with the boo concept, here's the summary:
There seems to be a relatively good boo basket participation in my neighborhood, though in 2019 I never got a basket myself (whomp whomp - oh well). Since I love giving these out, I could care less though if I get anything in return.
Here's the two baskets I pulled together for 2020. I bought the tin boo buckets at the end of 2018 on clearance not thinking about the fact that I can't use them on the same people that I've already "boo'd", so I had to skip using it for one of the two houses.
The second gift, in the orange bag, was supposed to be a transplanted aloe in a skeleton head planter, but I've been having an issue with the plants in my house (we apparently picked up fungus gnats from a new plant we added to our collection late spring/early summer - a super huge pain in the ass). Rather than gift the plant and potentially spread that issue to someone else's house plants, I added a note to the gift that the plant would come later. Hopefully before month end I will have a transplant aloe I can gift them. If not, I will empty and sanitize the planter and fill it with a new plant from the local nursery.
Now I wait to see ... did my excitement catch again this year? Will boo-ing spread through the neighborhood?
If I get a boo basket myself, I'll be sure to update! :-)
