What did you get? Papers and embellies? Did you grab different Halloween lines this year? Mostly papers from the Prima line but also the journal cards. And since I don't have much of a stash, I shopped the whole Halloween section and sorted from low price to high and picked up some older lines for cheap. But again, mostly paper. I can't wait. I'll take some photos when it arrives. So freaking cute. I LOVE HER. The little puffy potion bottles and candy corn are the best. I am on the fence about these. Sell me on them. I am not sure how I would use them but the little potion bottles are amazing. They are not currently in my ACOT card but could easily hop on in. I went through my whole scrapbooking stash and pulled out papers and embellishments. I had a good bit of this amazing October Afternoon Fall line and I'm so excited to use it. I can't wait to get started. |

blemon Sounds like you went on a very fun shopping spree to pad up your tiny Halloween stash! I'd love a photo share of your new goodies when they arrive. Vicariously living through others and all that jazz.  I picked up a few papers and the ephemera pack from the Simple Stories Spooky Nights line from last year. I resisted a whole year and decided that since I was still thinking about it, it was time to hit the purchase button. I gave this plenty enough of thought! Like you, I've had a wonderful time adding some extra October things to my stash this month. Can't wait for it to arrive from the US now... Hope ecvnj58 won't mind me sharing a poison bottle embellishment idea I've had: a "pick your poison"/"poison of my choice" page recapping your family's favourite spooky month drinks (cold brew PSL, hot cider, warm cocoa, etc.) or the special PSL-flavoured drinks you're buying this year (beer, tea mixes and the likes - I've heard it's PSL bonanza in the US and I'm a little jealous). Maybe you'll do a creepy cocktail night with friends? Just one of those fun elements to repeat with each documented person's portrait.

blemon I did a spooky bookshelf last year that I loved so you could do that. http://instagram.com/p/CVXwv0qgR2c I also saved this from Instagram http://instagram.com/p/CiYUF1UPtOb I keep having in my head some sort of potion cabinet idea. I am a scientist/engineer so maybe it could fit with that. Ohhh I also bought the new space gal book for my kids so maybe we can do some actual science experiments. I already used one on my cover page. It’s just there as an embellishment. Lol. No big build out around it. I’m sharing that one I think the 26th and can come back and post a picture. sleepingbooty, I love the idea of using it for a drinks page.

We have a local restaurant that does an escape room/mixology class that is amazing. Ingredients for the drinks are things like “blood of a poet”, crushed bone, etc. You get to use siphons, flasks and fire and all sorts of cool stuff to make your drinks too. Everyone should plan a trip to Portland and they would have the perfect photos for the potion bottles! |

blemon I did a spooky bookshelf last year that I loved so you could do that. I love that! I wish you would join the Halloween swap and just make us each one of those. It's so amazing. I keep having in my head some sort of potion cabinet idea. Great idea. Not having done an October album before, I need all the ideas. I've had: a "pick your poison"/"poison of my choice" page So good! It could mean a lot of things too. We have a local restaurant that does an escape room/mixology class that is amazing. For my birthday next month we are going to a tiki bar. I hope they are going to do some Halloween themed drinks. I am so excited. |

Love the cream and purple kit! Same! That's a great kit. I just got some nail stickers. I know it's a little early to be using them but I don't care! Can you tell me about these? Are they easy to take on and off. Any other brands to try (like can I get them at Target)? Just got these and I’m dying: http://instagr.am/p/Cih8N-LONfD |

I just got them so will report back. I've not tried them before. From reviews seems like they are easy to get off. Target does carry the brand! I ordered direct but you can also get them from ulta www.target.com/b/dashing-diva/-/N-y3wjb |

Do we want to discuss the Ellen Hutson release today? I’m so in love with every little bit of it. I want the little ghosts in the picture frames and the ghost costumes. So so cute.

I'm posting this Instagram account again. halloweenhappy, a woman that lives in Salem Massachusetts and is obsessed with all things Halloween.  She has a l00 days of Halloween list. Lots of ideas for photos! I love her office post.
If anyone likes to listen to spooky/weird/paranormal podcasts I like Lore, Cabinet of Curiosities, New England Legends, Mysterious Radio, and Haunted Road. Cult Liter sometimes has episodes that have a bit of a Halloween vibe to them. I don't listen to all of the episodes except Lore and Haunted Road. Lore is my favorite.

I’m thinking I might need to do an October album again this year…
I did an album last year with a black cloth 4x4 album I had in my stash. It was a fun place to play with products and it really pushed me to plan fun seasonal things to do in a new city after moving 2 states away from home during a pandemic. It also gave me something to do to keep busy when I didn't have family or friends in the state.
I loved how that album served me during that season of my life but now that I’m back in my old stomping grounds, I wasn’t planning on committing to a separate project. I figured I would add any spooky seasonal things to my regular PL album like usual.
However, after lurking on this thread and being inspired by all the neat ideas being shared, I might be changing my mind. I bought the PP/KP release from this year and have other TN sized fall papers in my stash. And then I saw the Color Theory 3x8 album on sale at SC and I picked that up. So I’m thinking of cutting down my papers and using my existing stash to do a fun little 3x8 Spooky Season album. I will probably cover the colorful inside of the album with some festive paper and just use it as a place to play and use up some fun products. Plus I have a fun couples costume with my dog planned for this year and I feel like it should be memorialized in its own mini album.
Thoughts? Anyone else doing a 3x8? I’ve never used that size before, just 4x8 so it might be an adjustment. Tips? Thanks

I hope you'll join us. The October Daily gang is muuuch smaller than the DD crew but it's such a fun project with much less pressure than DD. It's all about having fun using up your spooky and creepy stuff, documenting the change of season and all the small things that make leaving summer behind more tolerable. |

More later but I know sleepingbooty wanted to see my scrapbook.com haul: http://instagram.com/p/CilfTyquh8G I ordered again today because I needed another one of two of the prima papers. I loved both sides in person so much. Also ACOT sold out of some things I needed and I was not ok with not having the cat acetate. |

I didn't know scrapbook.com started selling kitties! 😁 Such a cutie!
What a great haul! Love the puffy stickers you received. I can't wait to see what you create with all of your goodies.
I ordered the new Fancy Pants Happy Halloween collection from Peachy Cheap. It should be here in a few days and I cannot wait!
