JUST A FEW DAYS & NEW STUFF TO NOTE

Hi Cryptsters,

FINALLY, it is almost time for our favorite time of year, OCTOBER AND HALLOWEEN! Whooo....

If you have not already signed up or your friends haven't, NOW is the time. I am closing sign up on the 1st this year as too much has gone on for me to do anything more other than the Countdown itself.

Dex and I will be around to your blogs but please be patient. Go visit others too and leave boo notes. We all love those. Remember to post every couple of days something Halloween-ish.

NOTE: You will notice a couple of changes this year. If you look above, you will see some tabs. They are: Crypt Keepers 2023, Countdown Instagram, and Home. Please explore those but in a nut shell, if you click on the Crypt Keepers one, you will be taken to a list of all the Crypt Keepers and their blogs. I had to do this for time sake this year and frankly, was a bit easier. PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BUT DO CHECK YOUR LINKS THAT THEY WORK. I did not check any of the links so, if there is something wrong or you have been left off, just comment below and I will fix it. If you don't tell me, I don't know.

---->If you have not purchased this years t-shirt, the link is on the side bar. Remember that all proceeds go to charity. 

Finally, I got word that you are having issues with the badges. You will have to download them to your device and upload to your blog. Please add the link to this blog so everyone comes here.

Have a great October and check back here for updates and newer cobwebs.

Something Is Afoot! #countdowntohalloween2023

Boils and ghouls,

Have you noticed things are afoot here?  (See what I did there?) The theme this year is a take on "Graveyard Smash." We will be excited about what you come up with for the theme or of course, your own things too.

*The new 2023 t-shirt is ready for purchase. Again, it has been created by Chad Savage and all proceeds will be going to charity. You can find the link at the top right of this page to order.

*Chad once again created our fabulous badges based on the theme. You know how much we love those things on our blogs. Make sure to link them back to the Countdown blog.

*Hmm what else, what else? Oh, have you been checking out our Instagram all year long? Dex has done an amazing job of posting content to it. If you want something featured to it, contact him. You never know what kind of monster will show up there. Links on the sidebar to the right.

We are just a few days away from the Countdown's beginning. Are you ready? If you haven't signed up make sure you do. I will be adding links this coming week to the sidebar. Also, please ask your friends to join. They can join via Instagram, Blogger, TikTok, or YouTube.

See you soon!

Crypt Keeper, Michelle

Oh, yes! Please stop! #eyeroll #Halloween #CountdowntoHalloween2023

Yes, someone actually posted this. I blacked it out to use it here but, well, oh please.. 

Where do you find your locally sourced? ROFL!!!

* chuckles* 68 days folks to Halloween and a little over a month for the start of the Countdown. Sign up if you haven't already and invite friends. 

Shirt design for this year coming soon and this year's theme update for the blog.

STAY TUNED!

Master Crypt Keeper,

Michelle

The Crypt is Creaking Open!

 Happy 100 Days to Halloween!

 

 

In the next few days I, Dex, will be sending out messenger bats with the link to sign yourself up for this year's Countdown to Halloween!

If you don't want to wait, just click that link in the right sidebar to fill out the form. You're more than welcome to pass it on to anyone you know that wants to join our happy haunt.

If you're using a non-blog social platform, please include a link back to the Countdown site (countdowntohalloween.net) on your posts.

You can also use #countdowntohalloween & #countdowntohalloween2023 as those are followed by our Instagram to look for things to share with our followers

Our theme this year is old school Graveyard Smash!

Mr. Chad Savage, who designed our first Countdown shirt last year, has volunteered again to help us out and we'll be posting more about that in the coming weeks.

 

In the meantime, here's a couple of things to get you (more) into the spirit.

 

Check out HalloweenHappy on Instagram for her 100 Days of Halloween prompts. Join in on any or all days, no pressure.

And if you haven't yet, tune in to the By Pumpkin's Light podcast. In each episode, Mike (All Hallows Geek) and Miranda (Spooky Little Halloween) introduce you to content creators, small business owners, and industry professionals dedicated to creating Halloween magic all year long.

Sharing: Mid-Summer Screams With Chelsea #HalloweenAllYearLong #Halloween2023 #CountdowntoHalloween

 Hello Crypsters! I am just sharing an annual event from our fellow Crypt Keeper, Chelsea. She says this is her 5th year! If you want to know details, check out her Instagram page.

Sign ups coming soon!

Happy Summer Crypsters! #CountdowntoHalloween2023

 

Hey everybody! Summer is upon us and that means, Halloween won't be far from us again. HA HA

I will be talking with Dex soon about themes and things. Watch out in August for personal invites to sign up because we start about then.

Boo ya!

Master Crypt Keeper,

Michelle

It Isn't Over! #Creepmas #CountdowntoHalloween2022

IT CAN'T BE!: Well, here we are on day one again. Yes, we have to wait another 365 days until our houses are full of candy again. But you and I both know, this is not the end for us. Some of you have Halloween all year long and some wait patiently. Either way, we  are here for you. BOO!

CREEPMAS: So, since it is November 1st (crypt keepers cry), some of you will be looking forward to Creepmas. Last year, Chad and Dex decided to forgo the official delight but many of you did it on your own. I have not heard from either of these two creepers about it so maybe they can chime in. This crypt will be kept open for a bit to allow for this event if it happens.

OFFICIAL SHIRTS:I hope you all ordered the shirts that were available. They have even been on sale. I don't know if you saw Dex decked out in his on the Instagram page but it was pure awesomeness. I ordered one but believe it or not, it never got to me on time nor have I received it yet. Disappointing but still a good cause and of course no matter when I receive it, you will see me in it. Did you get one? Share a photo in comments!

AN APOLOGY: So, as I mentioned to you earlier. All heck broke loose this month for me. Even yesterday was just ugh! Because of this, I did not get around to all of you by yesterday. I wanted to at least throw some toilet paper at your house but noooo... I do apologize for that not happening. Instead of treats, I got tricks this year!! Side note: I even got a  ticket last night. Oy! I will get to all of you, it is just going to be way late!

THANKS: A BIG SHOUT OUT TO DEX who has kept things going when everything went arry for me. You are the best crypt keeper. I appreciate you running Instagram too. There is always something fun over there all year long. Thanks also creepers for your awesome content year after year. As long as you keep doing it, I will keep hosting.

Always,

Master Crypt Keeper, Michelle
