October Blog Party

October is filled with magic, mystery and creativity! I invite everyone to join me in embracing this enchanting month by doing something holiday related everyday in the month of October. Can your life stand some spookiness, mystification and imagination? Children and adults alike benefit from the spark of free-thinking originality that October brings. Halloween, Samhain and The Day of the Dead (November 2nd) are an out-of-the-box and broad-minded lesson in curiosity and possibilities, not to mention an advocacy for honor and respect of the "other side". Enjoy the wonder of the season with your family and enrich each others lives with this unique opportunity of wicked fun!

To participate in this blog party, pledge to do is something holiday related everyday the month of October and blog about it. You do not have to blog everyday, just chronicle what you've been doing on each day when time permits.

Deadline to join is October 1st.

To join this blog party comment below and help spread the word with this button:






All participating blogs will be listed on my sidebar.



Not sure what you could possibly do for 31 days-in-row related to Halloween, Samhain or The Day of the Dead? Here are some ideas to get you started and visit the other participating blogs for more ideas!

Watch a scary movie
Hold a Dumb Supper
Make a craft, like homemade Halloween costumes or apple candle holders
Have cider spiced with cinnamon and pumpkin bread
Tell ghost stories around a camp fire
Create an altar honoring your family's ancestors and dead relatives
Bob for apples
Plant flower bulbs
Make Pan de Muerto for the Day of the Dead (November 2nd)




Have lots and lots of fun!

  6. I am so in! Just yesterday I was going through Samhain decorations thinking... "NOW! I want to put them up NOW!"

    Would it be ok if I re-sized your Halloween Banner to fit my blog side-bar?? (i need a 150x across, but I don't want the image to look distorted...)

    Have an Enchanting Day~

    BTW, what is a "Dumb Supper?"

    ReplyDelete

  9. I'm joining in on the spooky fun! The button is up at Whimsical Moon:)

    ReplyDelete

  12. I wish I could say "I'm in!" because I'd really love to participate. I'll be at school, though, so I doubt I'll find the time to do something every day. =( It is a great idea, though! And I'll definitely check in to see what people are doing. Maybe it will inspire me to get creative when I find the time?

    Kim- a dumb supper is a silent supper and you set out a plate of food for the dead. A lot of witches have them on Halloween night (Samhain), but I don't see why someone couldn't do it at any point.
