boo!

I was sooo excited when I was "boo'ed" a couple of weeks ago at work! It is such a fun little tradition to be added to the Halloween season and can be done at work or in your neighborhood!

My "boo" from work

--Here is how it works--

You have been BOOED!  Please keep it going by following these directions:

1. Enjoy your treat

2. Place the "BOO" sign on your front door or visible in a window 

3. Within 2 days, make 2 copies of this note and "boo" sign, and make up 2 treats

4. Secretly deliver to 2 neighbors/friends without a "BOO".

5. Keep an eye on nearby front doors & see how far & fast it spreads by Halloween.

I got so excited about being "boo'ed" and "booing" some co-coworkers I had to pass it along to some neighbors as well!

Here are the two baskets I made for them...

I found most of my "goodies" at Michael's and used a free online printable for the instructions and boo signs. 

I included a ghost cookie cutter, an orange & black polka dotted ramekin and lots of candy! I rolled the instructions up with a bow and lined the pail with polka dotted and black tissue paper. 

close up of the buckets I used - one was a cat and the other a bat. 

When I went to search the Internet for a cute printable I was amazed with how many options there were! I am late to the game :) 

I decided to go with these (pictured below) as they were my favorite I saw :) but there are plenty of others that you can choose from!

Here is the poem on the instruction sheet that I think is so cute:

The air is cool, the season fall, 

Soon Halloween will come to all.

Ghosts and goblins, spooks galore...

Tricky witches at your door.

The spooks are after things to do, 

In fact a spook brought this "Boo" to you!

The excitement comes when friends like you, 

Copy this note and make it two.

We'll all have smiles upon our faces, 

No one will know who "BOO"ed whose places!

Just two short days to work your spell, Keep it secret, hide it well.

Please join the fun, the seasons here.

Just spread these "BOO's" and Halloween cheer!

I hope that you will consider doing this!  Be creative! The treats you give can range from cute cups with candy to fun Halloween baskets with decorations. Here are some great coupons to use at Michael's this week. The $1 buckets at Target are another great place to find goodies! :) It really is so fun to give to others and watch it spread! 

Happy Monday!
