At long last, today's the day! One more Halloween party on the schedule tonight, and here's those cookies I finally was able to decorate.
I can't believe the month is already over, but I celebrated the season every day so you can't say I wasn't in the spirit!

Participated in the TalkDeath Cemetery Scavenger Hunt today! Here's a few clues I found.
1. Someone born on October 26 (today)
2. A headstone with a sundial on it (or in this case, the headstone IS the sundial
3. Someone who was born and died in two different centuries

Set up an ofrenda to prepare for Día de Muertos at the end of the month. When researching my Irish roots, I was surprised to find parallels to Samhain in terms of traditions for welcoming the spirits of passed loved ones back for a night.
I find it a calming, solemn way to end the month

A Halloween craft: i saw the idea for this cute little bat spirit chaser on TikTok and had to make my own. It's hanging on my front door to scare away any ghosties that might try and sneak in when I come and go.

Played Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival tonight with friends! It was super fun (and I completed the Haunted Theater puzzle, even though it was scary!)
The link is earlier in this thread if you want to play. Here's some screenshots of me, @msminotaur.bsky.social @flipluka.com and @jerrytron.com.

I'm making a Hawks cosplay and here's my wig! This is my first foray into wig styling, though I was gifted a bunch of cheap practice wigs to learn the basics on.
