Get Boo-ing 2020

 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!  :-)
