October Daily 2020 MEGAAA thread

I love this idea too! 

Oh wow, that’s awesome! I couldn’t really see the details and didn’t think to look for a flip through.

I looked through various paper pad options at scrapbook.com and found myself less than excited about anything orange. I think it will be much more fun to go very monochrome for the base and add color with photos/stickers/die cuts. And I love using white and silver pens on black pages, so I think I have an idea of how to build the notebook. 

That paper pad is divine!!!

I made something like this for Hanukkah, in lieu of a December Daily. I love the idea of starting one for Halloween too, not just for this Halloween but for all the Halloweens. It's something I can pull out with the holiday decorations each year and add to.

I actually think THIS is how I might do all my ‘catch up’ scrapping. I only ever completed books for vacations my ‘on going’ scrapping isn’t complete and has many holes in it as I just found pictures that worked with the product when I was on the local DT So after thinking of doing holidays over the years and since you mentioned the October daily I’ve been thinking maybe just traditions thru the years. Not worrying about ‘gaps’ hmmmmmm

* might is the key word, I still am not holding myself responsible for ‘catching up’ it will be too much pressure.

But at least if I buy an album & title it ‘fall‘ I can put ANY fall layout in it and then another album called ‘holidays‘ ( we have both Christmas & Hannukah ) and maybe a ‘summer memories‘ & a ‘spring‘ album? I’ve been thinking about this since the DD thread. Just a thought I’m mulling over in my head.

I love Halloween, but with my kids being beyond trick-or-treating age, and not much of that going on in my complex, I'm excited to do this! I will probably do something simple, like either a story a day or a photo a day, but if I don't have a story I'll have to think of something else. I'm not going to be as strict as I am with my DD about making sure I have something for almost every day, I just want to document one of my favorite times of the year.

Somewhere in my stash is a Rusty Pickle Halloween kit I bought when they were going out of business. Haven't found it yet, but I did find a Jenni Bowlin kit from 2012! If Rusty Pickle shows up then I'll probably combine the two somehow, but if not, I'll make Jenni Bowlin work.

I am really considering joining in on this project!

Ooooooh, this is such a good idea! Autumn is my favourite season.
What are your plans?
A traveller's notebook would be good maybe? Something small. I LOVE the idea of it being a photo a day project.
Will you be using your stash? Will you be buying new pretties?
You know, I have very, very little in the way if autumnal stash, so maybe this is a good time to do some shopping? I absolutely love the papers you shared, joblackford, so many ideas sparking off with them.
What are you adding to your October agenda this year?
Lots of walks, half term, my daughter's birthday, a trip to a zoo that's super spacious and doing social distancing right, various pumpkin recipes including homemade PSL, Samhain celebrations, pumpkin carving. I might give baking parkin a go. And actually, thinking about it, I'll probably continue the project until Guy Fawkes night as that's a big end of autumn thing and while we might not have a big fireworks display to go to this year, we'll probably have a few sparklers in the garden with baked potatoes for dinner.
How are you adapting some of your favourite traditions to the pandemic?
I've learnt over these last few months I am a socially distanced person at the best of times 😂 so I don't know if much will be different. The kids got really into trick or treating last year, but who knows if there will be much of that? We're currently on a little break and the village we're staying in are planning a skeleton festival over Halloween in which residents hang skeletons from their windows and people walk around and spot them, which is a nice idea and it would be cool to do something like that back home.

I'm curious to hear your review of The Witches of Eastwick. I've seen that one and Practical Magic. I haven't seen the others. I decided I'm going to do 31 pages. I have at least 12 costume pages. I did make a list of movies, podcast, and books that feel Halloween related. Just not sure on how to document them on a page.

What are your plans? | I'm not sure. We won't be going to the apple orchard, pumpkin patch or hayride this year. I may work on an ongoing autumn album and make some 12 x 12 layouts with pictures I still need to scrap from years past. Anything new that doesn't work in this album will go into my regular PL.

Will you be using your stash? Will you be buying new pretties? | I have a weakness for fall scrapbook supplies! I definitely need to work on using my stash. I have purposely not looked at any new goodies coming so this thread might be dangerous to my wallet. Lol

What are you adding to your October agenda this year? | We definitely plan some fall walks to pick up leaves. I'm hoping our local orchard might have some type of curbside pickup so we can still support them and buy cider and donuts.

How are you adapting some of your favourite traditions to the pandemic? | We are considering some type of Halloween get together via Zoom for my son and some of his friends.

Thanks for starting this thread!

Janet Evanovich's Plum Spooky is funny.

Thanks for the reminder, it can be part of my book.

I do too. The 2 big events in my town that take place in my town are either cancelled or going mainly virtual so I don't know what I will do for photos though.
