October Daily MEGA Thread!

Goodness me, you've put it on his head tilted béret style and it's le swoon! 😍 Kudos on grabbing the photo. He's still so young and I just can't imagine how quickly he wanted it off his furry head (but Fritz, hear me out, it makes you look the adorablest). Well done! You just need to hit up the thrift store again to find more costumes to put him in... 

Very nice, blemon! I'm particularly in love with the cat paper puppet. These will all look darling in your album. I'm so glad this October project pushed you to start using your Silhouette. You're going to have so many custom bits and bobs to add to not only OD But also DD this year. 😊

OOOOH! Thank you so much, honeypea! 🖤😊🖤 

We're a pretty cool bunch, if I do say so myself... There's no other place like 2PR for scrappy folks. No fakeness, no "only positivity!" like many of the private FB groups, criticism welcomed but at the heart of it, we just love seeing each other's pages and cheering each other on. 🥰

I have been watching her too! I forgot to post her link.

He actually kept it on for quite awhile. I was the one who took it off! He went to sleep with his Triceratops hat on yesterday. He is just a really patient and sweet boy. We really won the kitten lottery with him.

Love this group of scrappers as well. We are very lucky to have this community!

I won't be doing an October Daily. I really suck at projects like this: barely get started and then---SQUIRREL!--and the whole thing gets away on me.

I wanted to give you gals a heads up, though. I am planning to plunk a Gratitude Photo Challenge into Quarter Four. Thanksgiving in Canada is in October, and the quarter goes right through to after Christmas. Basically the challenge will be to photograph something for each of the prompts. We deal with points in the Q-4 challenges, so there would be one point for snapping the photo, a point for sharing it, a point for using it on a card or page or other project, and 5 points for dedicating a page or card to that one prompt.

If you think it will help you stay focused on your October daily, please hop over to the Q-4 Sign Up thread on the Challenges board.


For you OD planners, here are the prompts, which I picked up from Angie Cruise's LIFESTYLE that MATTERS blog.

I feel like I need this kit even though I swore I wasn't going to buy any more October stuff because I need to finish at least one album but this one is way too cute. Wicked Memory Pockets Monthly

We have an Autism Trunk or Treat event to go to that is sensory friendly.

Pumpkin Patch at a real farm that is local.

Costume shopping.

Oak Glen for apple season.

Cabazon Dinosaurs for their Halloween set up.

Halloween Ends movie.

Haunted Hay Ride.

Halloween night.

Indiana Bones dress up (had been rooting for the Chiefs in a shirt and shorts and is now with a pink wig and pink glasses wearing a robe, drinking a cup of coffee).

Outdoor decorations.

Halloween decorations drive at night.

Our October activities;
At least one pumpkin patch
Visit Halloweentown
Witches Tea Party
Dinner and mad scientist elixir experience at Raven’s Manor
Lots of Halloween movies at local movie theater (Nightmare, Hocus Pocus for sure, what ever other scary movies align with out schedule)
Lots of spooky recipes
Haunted House kit from Target
Haunted cookies for my nephew dog (another kit from Target)
And one of my favorite activities- the All Night Horrorthon at our local theater. They show 4 movies and you have no idea what they will be. Between movies they have amazing trailers for terrible horror movies, coffee and Voodoo doughnuts. Last year they had a hearse turned coffee mobile there too. It is always super fun and the movies are fantastic or fantastically terrible. I look forward to it so much.

I will also be of course documenting Fritz in his assortment of Halloween costumes and anything I can get on Boo or near Pippin.

Also a visit to the local coffee shop Roast the Dead which is Horror Movie themed! Dd wants to wear her Haunted bride costume there and get photos. During Halloween they add a red balloon to Pennywise. LOL

I’m back to life and will post more later but I just saw this on Instagram and I’m seriously considering getting 3 empty happy meals.

There is nothing vegetarian at McDs. They even spray the fries with lard.

SOOOOO much to catch up on. Page 7 is the best.
I'm feeling back to normal today and popping on before work.
I spent all day yesterday watching In the Dark and Halloween crafty videos.



Thank you for this list! They are all open in my tabs to watch tonight.


Isn't it cute? If you want the file, PM me your email. I didn't like it's original head so I found another one. I measured the original head then made the new head the same size. I'm going to use lace or something where his collar is.


I agree!
Just stay away from the NSBR board. OMG. Learned my lesson there.
But this group is the best.


Awesome. Someone actually mentioned her in a video I was watching yesterday so I'm glad you sent this link.


Excellent! Thanks. I will not be doing an album in November but I'll use these for both October and December.


Ha! Yes. We've had her for about 4 years now. She showed up one day after her owner moved out and abandoned her. She used to be an outside cat but she is totally content to stay inside. She's very photogenic but also super angry. She hates the black cat with a passion unrivaled. I bought her the vampire cape and she'll keep it on long enough for photos.


Love it!


I have NEVER heard of these so I'm off to search. I can't eat chocolate anymore and all of the house kits are chocolate so this might be our workaround. My daughter is finally getting into the Fall spirit and wants to make a house.

Thank you all for keeping me sane yesterday while I could hear the inside of my bones screaming.
My arm still hurts a bit but no big deal.
I feel lucky I was able to get the booster.
Not looking forward to being indoors for the next few months.

I agree, I don't think the buckets are really happening, October 18th is way too late in the game for starters.
When I get the meals for a toy I have them pack up the meal in its own bag so I don't have to rifle through someone else's food before giving it away. I also order the hamburger without onions in case the person I want to give it to has a canine companion. I don't eat the happy meals, so I always get them to give away.
