Heading into the Holiday Season I am excited for my favorite holiday, Halloween. I know it is a little over a month away but you have to prepare. If you shop now and have the willpower not to eat all your purchases you should be ready for all the tricksters that come your way. But, why should they get all the fun. I’m sure that family, friends and co-workers might enjoy a little treat, too. So, I applied for this shoppertunity so that I could #BOOItForward to my co-workers because we have a very tough shift (Weekend Overnights 12 hours at a time) and a treat is just what we need to improve morale. So I went to Walmart and picked up a few supplies.
I wanted to make BOO Kits for the people in my group. My intent was to get to work before everyone else and put them on their desks without them know it, but even on my earliest day I still can’t beat some people there, so I was found out. That doesn’t mean that you can’t be sneaky and fun when you do your own BOO kit. How do you make a BOO Kit? You are in luck because I will give you a tutorial on exactly how I made mine.
At Walmart I picked up some supplies. I got the Mars Mixed Minis 52 oz. bag filled with M&M’s®, SNICKERS®, and TWIX®. I also got the Wrigley Monster Stash 315ct bag which is HUGE! That contained a variety of SKITTLES®, STARBURST®, and LIFESAVERS®. I also found some fun Halloween monster themed soda like 7UP®, A&W Root Beer and Sunkist®. I picked up some Halloween themed bags that said BOO on them and some tissue paper. I’m not sure why the tissue paper, but it seems to go hand in hand with gift bags. So, I got Halloween themed tissue paper. I went a little overboard and above the allotted money for the shop but I did end up with a little over and it “might” make it to Halloween, if I put it under lock and key.

Tuesdays are spent with a lot of running around. School, Dance, more. It is a hectic day and occasionally on those days it becomes hard to stop for a moment and take in all that is around. Well, driving to pick up Eva from dance class the sky was amazing. I took this shot while I was on the way. I’m glad it came out as nice as it did since I was not looking at the camera at the time. Gotta be safe on the road. I shot this with the new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. I can open the camera app up without looking at it and then just take shots when I want. It is very simple to do and the shots come out really nice. In the moment I couldn’t quite appreciate the beauty of the sunset but being able to look back and reflect upon the photo made it better. I want to go someplace where I can shoot sunsets like these all the time.
