Who Will You BOO This Halloween? #DontBeTheDarkHouse #CBias

~*~BOO!~*~

I have heard of Boo Bags before, but I have never given one, nor have I been a recipient of one. The concept is simple, and so much fun. You fill a bag with treats and leave it on someone's doorstep. The recipient is then supposed to "pay it forward" and "Boo!" someone else.

I recently had the opportunity to make a Boo Bag for a blogger friend and mail it to them. When it came time to choose which blogger friend to send it to, I knew exactly who to choose. You see, this person isn't just a blogger friend. This is someone I consider a "real life" friend also. Sure, we met through blogging, but our friendship goes way beyond our blogs.

I met my friend through blogging about a year and a half ago. When I decided to start posting product reviews and giveaways on my blog I asked her advice, and she was a huge help to me. We talked a lot through email, and became very close. She has been there for me through all of the rough times I have experienced this year, and I was always able to count on her when I just needed someone to talk to. I wanted to make this Boo Bag for her as a little thank you for all of the support she has given me, with blogging and on a personal level. I am so lucky to have her as a friend.

When I went shopping for goodies to put in my Boo Bag, I knew I had to include some Snickers, since they are my favorite candy! When my brother and I were little and went Trick-or-Treating on Halloween, I would always try to trade the candy I didn't want for his Snickers and any other chocolate candy bars he might have gotten. I love chocolate! I decided to stick with the chocolate theme and also picked up a variety bag that included Snickers (see, I told you they were my favorite), Twix, M&M's and Peanut M&M's. If you ask me, you can never have too much chocolate.

Along with the chocolate, I also wanted to add a little something for my friend's two little girls, so I picked up pink "pumpkin torches" to put in the Boo Bag. I got a card too. I decorated a plain orange bag with pieces from a foam pumpkin decorating kit, and filled it with the goodies.

I sure hope my friend enjoys her little surprise when she receives it in a couple of days. It was so much fun to make, and it made me feel good that I was able to do a little something for her just to say thanks for being such a great friend. I'm not really all that crafty, but I think it turned out pretty cute. What do you think?

I really had a lot of fun with this project, and I plan on making up a couple of small Boo Bags to start this movement at work. What about you? Who will you BOO! this Halloween?
