Our theme for October is HALLOWEEN!
I’ll be the first to admit that scrapping the ‘annual events’ (birthdays, easter, Christmas etc. ) are always the most difficult for me. When the same thing happens year after year, I find it hard to keep it fresh. My solution for Halloween is to maybe scrap a layout if I have something specific that I want to remember, but otherwise I have a 6×6 album for each of my boys where I plan to do a quick and simple mini layout showing each years costume. And that’s it! No pressure to come up with something exciting to say about carving pumpkins or trick-or-treating year after year, while still preserving the memory of Halloween for them.
Here are a few examples of layouts that I have done about Halloween (one that has yet to find a picture). Enjoy!
This blog hop will run from today, October 23rd until October 25th.
We will be drawing for winners on October 26th.

I agree that it’s difficult to scrap the same events year after year and still keep it fresh and interesting. I like your idea of a mini-album to document the same event each year, but without the pressure of having to do something different with the layout each year.
