ha ha ha, I don't know as the kids register anything besides, "Is it candy? No? Ah, that's sad I wanted candy". But the parents certainly enjoy it.

Yeah, it's hard if you don't have other people around to help encourage this stuff! I could totally have been doing craft things on my own this year but without the company I just wasn't!
And Halloween is the *PERFECT* time for people who can't sew or carve because if it turns out all wonky and lopsided and odd you can just say it was on purpose, because :bat: HALLOWEEN! :bat:

You are free to steal any or all of these ideas, too, if you want to start doing the same thing.

We can have a chat thread and consult with each other planning our next crafting party and reporting how it went and stuff!

Oh dear heavens I have *yet* to come up with a successful option for providing refreshments/food. The time we tried potluck meant that everyone brought bags of crisps and the crumbs got into the crafting goods and it was just sad. The time I tried to make things ahead all by myself I stayed up the night before and was so tired I didn't get any crafting done. The time we all put in for takeout was okay but too expensive. Half the time I just gave up and said "eat before you come".... there must be a better way.
Maybe I should do one of the crafting events as a joint "let's all build gingerbread houses" option and then we can just eat the failures? But that only solves one....
anyhow brainstorming notions with someone else would honestly be a relief.

Waiiiit, the event is still going? I thought the food bag would be gone when I got back from work. I wanted to get a few more items during my breaks but...I ended up not taking any... XD

I stayed up late to get one of the shirts though I work a long shift today so that may not have been wise. I wish I could sleep all day...

Oh dear, getting less sleep than you want may be thematically scary but I hope nothing happens during your long shift due to your sleep deprivation! May it be an easy shift!

Aww.
I hope you can rest a bit soon.
Lack of sleep is a bummer.

Lol. I slept 8 hours but that doesn't mean I can't want to sleep more. Mostly I just don't want to work my 10hr shift. >.>

10 hours shift.
No wonder you don't want to do it...
I would go nuts.



Apparently the event is over!
We are not getting more veggies by posting, I assume pastries and sweets are disabled too.
