Challenge WM#336 - week of 28th October 2019

A short week for me here in Germany with Friday being a Bank Holiday for All Saints' Day and of course, who isn't happy with a four-day work week? That seems a good way to start the week. How are you today?

This week, I'm once again looking at the calendar with Thursday evening being Halloween. It's not such a big event here in Germany although the shops certainly seem pretty full of themed items this year. But I wanted to at least decorate a little and got my box out of the cellar to see what I had - a bit of a sort out of things that I really don't need any more and I'm left with a small selection of pretties, most of which were created using scrappy product. Good to get some Halloween products used up!

In the past, I've marked this point on the calendar in a variety of ways -

• WM#12 - be inspired by "scary"
• WM#190 - be inspired by pumpkins
• WM#309 - be inspired by a candy colour scheme 

So how to mark it in 2019? Well, how about quite traditionally but in a way that I know can be taken in a million different directions.

Let's be inspired by "Trick or Treat"

Now, I'm not going to actually give you a "million" different directions to take this prompt but you could try:

• a traditional Halloween page about costumes, decorations, a particular year, the traditions you have, the sweets your kids collect, what you did as a child, favourite memories from this time of year
• what about your favourite sweet treats that you hoped to collect from the neighbourhood when you went trick or treating
• or maybe you played a Halloween trick on someone - or worse, were the victim of a trick from the local kiddies!
• how about your favourite sweet treats at any time of the year
• or how you were tricked in a good, or maybe less good, way
• the story of a practical joker in your family
• cakes, desserts, confectionary or even drinks could be the subject this week
• you could make a "trick" on your page with something interactive or hidden or with a double meaning
• use up your sweet themed products
• record how you treat yourself when you're in need of a pick up

Not quite a million, but a few to get you thinking!

Whichever way you decide to go, I really hope you'll share. It would be great to see what you make.  You can connect with us in our Facebook group here. Tag your entry with #WMXXX (with the number of the prompt instead of the XXX) so we know exactly which inspiration you've taken.

Have a great day everyone!
