On Mon­day my lit­tle gob­lin oth­er­wise known as Evan and I went to rec­i­p­ro­cate our Boo and Boo a few neighbors-three to be exact. It was a lot of fun! As a bonus I got to be a lit­tle crafty which I love!

I made these cute ghosts as a treat and a lit­tle hol­i­day decor.

I also left a few extra treats in a lit­tle bag for our Boo recipients.

Mak­ing the ghosts is so easy it’s scary! You too can start a Neigh­bor­hood Boo! It is a lot of fun and really helps you get into the hol­i­day spirit!

Sup­plies:

• lol­lipops for the mini-pumpkins I used Dum­Dums
• pump­kin
• tis­sue paper (you can use nap­kins if you’re using a big­ger lollipop)
• black marker (fine tipped works best)
• clear scotch tape, white twist ties, or white string

To cre­ate the ghosts:

Place one tis­sue paper over a lol­lipop secure the tis­sue paper at the base of the ghost with tape, twist-tie, or string. For the smaller lol­lipops I tore the tape in half.

Draw lit­tle ghost eyes.

To insert ghosts in pumpkin:

Using a skewer or other thin pointy object gen­tly punc­ture holes in your pump­kin. Its best if you punc­ture then place your ghost into the hole so that you can see where to place your next ghost for opti­mum prettiness.

That’s it! I told you it was so easy it was SCARY!

For this Boo­ing I used mini-pumpkins but a larger pump­kin can be used as well –I’d just rec­om­mend using a big­ger lol­lipop like a Blow Pop or a Toot­sie Roll pop.

To Boo my neigh­bors I printed out this cute poem on card­stock  in a spooky orange font and dec­o­rated the paper with Hal­loween stick­ers and taped it on their doors

The air is cool, the sea­son fall,

Soon Hal­loween will come to all.

Ghosts and gob­lins, spooks galore…

Tricky witches at your door.

The spooks are after things to do,

In fact a spook brought this “Boo” to you!

The excite­ment comes when friends like you,

Copy this note and make it two.

We’ll all have smiles upon our faces,

No one will know who “BOO“ed who’s places!

Work your spell,

Keep it secret, hide it well.

Please join the fun, the sea­sons here .

Just spread these “BOO’s” and Hal­loween cheer.

Great poem right? I didn’t come up with it myself. I snatched it from this web­site.

Here is what my lit­tle “Boo” looked like when left on a neighbor’s doorstep.
