My family was "Boo-ed" a few years ago. What is "Boo-ed"? It is the best way to spread halloween cheer. Or maybe a way to make doorbell-ditching fun for the homeowner. You take a copy of a poem, a copy of a door sign, and a treat for 2 of your neighbors and you doorbell ditch them. Yep, just leave those on their doorstep and run away. They should then make copies of the poem and door sign and make a treat for 2 other neighbors (that don't have the sign on their door) and leave it for them. Then it should keep going on throughout the whole neighborhood.
Here is a free printable of the door sign and the poem (in black and white to make it easier for photocopying) Click Here for the link to the Free Printable.
As for the treat part of it, I have been making cute holders to put candy in. You don't have to do candy, but I like the idea that the neighbors will know that it's safe. Especially as we're pretty new to the neighborhood.
I decorated some soup cans, cookie tins and sewed small bags with the same design as my reusable gift bags.
I can't wait to start Booing on Ocotber 1st!! Happy Halloween!

I started this last year and it traveled around the 6 streets in our neighborhood in 2 weeks...it was so much fun to watch and many people kept asking who started it, I just kept quiet!! Anxious to see if someone else does it this year
That is so cute... I saw this last year and meant to do it; but then lost the link.
Thanks for sharing!
