Crafty October 2019
Home » HOLIDAYS & EVENTS » HALLOWEEN »Welcome to Crafty October 2019 on The Purple Pumpkin Blog – now in its 8th year! Crafty October is the annual Halloween series that I have been running through the month of October since 2012 – but this year we are making it bigger and better than ever before!
Crafty October 2019
If you’re a long-time reader of The Purple Pumpkin Blog, you’ll know that I love Halloween!
If you’re new here, you might have had an inkling since my blog name contains something associated with this time of year!
But whether you are a regular or newbie, I hope that you enjoy all the Halloween stuff I have coming for you!
Crafty October is a celebration of all things Halloween – fun and delicious themed party food and drink; not-so-scary crafts for kids; party ideas; Halloween printables, and more!
I did debate with myself about changing the name of this series, but after 7 years, it feels weird to call it anything else. It stopped being just about crafts a long time ago, so Crafty October will be here to stay…for now!
And for 2019, Crafty October is going to be starting on September 1! I’ve got so much to share with you, that the only way I am going to do it is to start a month early!
I plan to post a Halloween post every day from the first of September until All Hallows Eve on October 31st!
