Hello again everyone! How has your October started off? I have seen a few people on the blog comments have had a great start to the month, with some awesome wins! Just the two one win for me so far – am sure they will start to trickle in (hopefully), as spent a good amount of time comping over September. Still, the evenings are getting colder and darker now – prime comping weather! Have you started thinking about the “C” word yet? Super-organised here this year, eldest daughter’s main gift has already been bought and squirrelled away, and we know what to get our youngest too. A few bits and pieces of stocking fillers and gifts for nephews and nieces are already hidden away too – yay me! Now our youngest is nearly 5, I am determined to get all the chores done early and thoroughly enjoy the season this year – while the magic still lasts for our eldest who is 8 and a half! I have seen lots of Christmas competitions early this year – which I think is fab! Helps us all get organised early, what do you think? Do you like all the Christmas build up getting earlier every year, or would you rather keep it until December?
One thing I have noticed this year is that I don’t think there are as many Halloween themed comps. What do you think, have you seen as many this year, or do you think they are starting to wane? For me, I have definitely seen more Christmas comps than Halloween over the last month. I know a lot of the more creative Halloween comps will pop up closer to the end of the month – when you will be asked to show off your Halloween outfits, decorated houses and carved pumpkins. But to keep us going until then, here is my round up of some of the best Halloween comps I have come across so far:
