October is my favorite month for soooo many reasons. Sweater weather, steamed maple milk with VT maple syrup (yes, it has to be VT maple syrup), hot chocolate, Halloween (the holiday) horror movies, pumpkin & apple everything EXCEPT PSL…#sorrynotsorry PSL fans. And last but not least, finding & sending the best Halloween cards!
When I was a child, Halloween was the next best holiday to Christmas (and my birthday, which I totally consider a holiday. Just ask my husband). Finding the perfect costume was much more fun for me than getting the candy. Just me?
I even made it on the front page of our local paper for my costume as Little Orphan (Asian) Annie. My mom hand crocheted the red wig & sewed my red dress with the white collar. Like completely handmade from a dress pattern. This stands out as one of my best Halloween costumes and memories, thanks to my mom!
Nowadays, I don’t dress up or give out candy (but I do decorate our mantle) because I’m an introverted homebody who’d rather be at home with my husband & pup, watching horror movies & eating candy. AND because we live on the top of a valley, no one comes to our house for trick or treating because of our long & steep driveway. Kids these days…when I was young, a hill would never have stopped me.
So for those of you who love Halloween, whether you dress up, pass out candy, or send out cards, check out our ten spooktacular Halloween cards to celebrate.

I’d send the Stay Ghoul card to my friend Chelsea; she’s super cool, a little bit ghoulish, and appreciates cute ghosts.
I’m also a Pumpkin Spice Everything Except Lattes person. 👍🏻
Hi Emily! Thx so much for reading & commenting. The Stay Ghoul card sounds like a perfect fit for your friend Chelsea. And I love that you’re not a PSL latte person too 🙂
