Saturday Souvenirs: Halloween and Samhain Celebrations

It has been a long time since I've done a Saturday Souvenirs post, but I've missed sharing something fun and relaxing with my readers and thought I'd wish you a very happy Halloween and Samhain.

Halloween occurred on Thursday this year, so I stared the celebration with a new badge for #ThursThreads, my #flashfiction writing challenge. Several folks came out to write a little tale and won badges that looked like the cover badge.

Then my kids and I got dressed up for an office party hosted by Mr. SM's employer. I wore my Sabrina Foxglove outfit from The Beltane Witch, and Batgirl and Clawdeen Wolf attended me as we marched through the cubicle lined rooms. :)

Mr. SM saw something on Facebook and decided to use his DeWalt drill to carve the pumpkin this year. I raised my eyebrows at it because I wasn't sure it how it would turn out, but lo and behold, it was kinda cool.

I hope your Halloween/Samhain were delightful celebrations, no matter how you chose to celebrate and I wanted to offer blessings to any little ghosties and ghoulies for a very happy harvest season. How did your Halloween go and what costumes did you choose?

Thanks for stopping by. :)

Saturday Souvenirs - Ghosts of Halloween's Past

Good morning, readers! Welcome back to Saturday Souvenirs. Today I'm debuting my nifty, cool Saturday Souvenirs Badge made by Cara Michaels. Isn't it hot? :D I'm also taking a little trip down memory lane. Do you celebrate Halloween? I have done so since I was a kid and I've carried the tradition with my own daughters. We dress up and go trick-or-treating, and then make sure to drink apple cider and carve pumpkins.

Each year I try to dress up as something different because what fun is it to wear the same things over and over? In the last few years, it's been a little tricky to find costumes that are demure enough, but I've come up with a few things. Mr. SM is a good sport and often dresses up with me. :)
