Trick or Treat 2020

I saw the vintage candy corn label in the October issue of Country Living last year and thought it would make a good tag so I searched for and found it online. I didn’t know what to write on it (after I thought of gobble gobble and realized that is what a turkey not a rooster says) so I googled “Rooster Halloween Joke” and found “What did the rooster say on Halloween? – Cock-a-doodle-boo”. Perfect so I wrote “Cock-a-doodle-BOO!” on the back. Due to the coronavirus I don’t see many people these days so I made less than a dozen using the Halloween cellophane bags I had left from another year.

My trick or treat tags are meant to be ornaments and I hang them on my Halloween trees along with other ornaments I’ve made or purchased.

Last year I was lamenting the fact that most people ignore my tags and only comment on the candy (candy corn got a better reception than I was expecting this year since it seems to get pretty bad press). I figured it was because Halloween trees aren’t really a thing. But that may be changing. My younger daughter bought a Halloween tree at Target this year and hung some of the tags and other Halloween ornaments I have made over the years.
