  1. My favorite Halloween tradition... making my girls' costumes. Sweet potato pie with a gingersnap crust. Trick or treating with practically everyone in our town. Carving pumpkins and roasting the seeds.
    I don't think I could pick just one!

  2. I think my favorite tradition is going to the pumpkin farm and taking pics and picking out the perfect pumpkin. Then it would be carving the pumpkin!

  3. We've never really done much for halloween in the past, but I decided last year that each year I would make one decoration, and eventually build up a "stash" of finished projects to decorate with each year.

  4. Oh yes, this one's much more my style. My favorite tradition is carving the pumpkins with the kiddos, and going out to dinner together after trick-or-treating.

  6. I grew up in Nevada, and October 31 is Nevada Day. So my favorite tradition? Not going to school! I don't live there anymore, so my new favorite traditino is CANDY!

    PS--I LOVED the Ghastlies so much I bought some. :)

  9. Favorite tradition: going on a haywagon ride to pick the pumpkins when the kids were little. How come they don't want to do that now that they are 20 & 17?? It's still fun?

    Love the fabric!

  10. Those are adorable!

    I love carving pumpkins.

  11. Ahhh this is easy for me...we were married on Halloween, we met on halloween, dated 10 years and married on the same day and time as we met...so Halloween spells a different and sentimental meaning for us...Each year Godiva designs a bear to go along with their Halloween theme...I have over 21 of them...and I am not even a collector..lol.. That is my story and I am sticking to that...so pick me lol...blessings madame samm

  12. Favorite thing was helping the kids create and/or coming up with ideas for costumes. Our school had an annual "storybook parade" note it was not considered halloween. Your costome had to be associated with the "book" you were reading and would present at the parade. We had some show stoppers. Jughead, Captain Underpants, Mop Top, and so on...

    ReplyDelete
  13. Halloween is a stressful day to me--we rush home from work, get the kids ready, try to get them fed so they don't make themselves sick on candy, and then rush back home for baths and bed, so I like the time we spend building up to Halloween instead.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I wouldn't say we necessarily have a tradition...but this year my sister joined us to go trick or treating around my neighborhood since she lives out in the country and we live in town. It was a lot of fun!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Ooo these fabrics are so much fun! We don't really have a Halloween tradition, but my boyfriend and I have only had 1 Halloween since moving into our first house, and we where still pooped from moving and furniture shopping. Hopefully this Halloween we'll do something, and maybe start a little tradition.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I look forward to all the Halloween and Fall decorating. Never a year goes by without wrapping cornstalks around my front porch posts! Then of course, Halloween itself and seeing all the cute little monsters arrive at my door!!

    ReplyDelete
  17. My favourite Halloween tradition is one that we used to do as a kid. Since my Mum and I lived in an apartment building until I was 12, we would go to my grandparents neighbourhood for trick-or-treating - it was always such fun to show my costume off to them and to find hot chocolate waiting when I returned.

    ReplyDelete
  18. i love our tradition of trick or treating with my dad. i love how much he enjoys the kids, the walk, the candy...i remember him taking us as kids, and now he takes all his grandkids. love it!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Those fabrics are adorable! I love the cuter Halloween fabrics. I like the scary ones too :)

    We enjoy decorating the house and yard for Halloween. Unfortunately we are not in a neighborhood that receives any trick-or-treaters though...

    ReplyDelete
  20. My favorite Halloween tradition was to come home with all my loot, dump it on the floor and wait (impatiently) for my parents to inspect it and deem it safe for eating. Unfortunately, I'm too old for trick-or-treating now and live on a busy, busy road so don't even get to hand out candy at home. These fabrics are absolutely adorable and I would have a blast working with them if I am lucky enough to win them. Thanks for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  21. As a kid we always had a big box of costumes to pick from and we always had chili... It was fun to be dressed up and peer from behind the curtains to see who would be the first to leave the house to trick-r-treat... you didn't ever want to be first and walk with the babies..lol

    ReplyDelete
  22. All the spooky decorating and seeing the faces on the youngsters when they are trick or treating.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh my GOODNESS! That would be TOO perfect for treat bags for my soon-to-be-3-year-olds.

    We're in the process of creating traditions with our kids. Last year was the first year they went trick-or-treating.

    Though my husband and I actually got married on Halloween, so maybe our tradition is delaying our anniversary celebration in the name of handing out candy. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  24. cute! after our halloween/harvest party extravaganza, we like to count all the candy and then eat 5 pieces.
    the kids get so into the counting and then the choosing.
    it's so fun~

    ReplyDelete
  25. I love making costumes. It started with my boys and now I get to do it for my grandkids. No store bought costumes for us. Love this material. Please save me a charm pack.

    ReplyDelete
  26. My favourite tradition is emptying the kids bags at the end of the night and seeing their eyes get so big.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I don't know that we have a favorite Halloween tradition but one Halloween we just moved to the country and well..didn't take the boys out, instead I gave them a treasure hunt on the property...that was alot of fun.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I don't really have a Halloween tradition but I enjoy the crafts and fabrics that go along with this holiday - pumpkin carving, etc. It makes it fun to decorate the house in October.

    ReplyDelete
  29. My favorite thing to do is eat! I love the caramel dipped apples, donuts, etc. Dressing up is a close second. Hopefully, my little man will actually dress up this year. He only wore his t-shirt that said "O'Lantern". (His name is Jack). . and by the way, I LOVE THE GHASTLIES!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Favorite Halloween tradition....raiding the candy bowl!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Carving the pumpkins to look like the kids toothless smiles. :-) Always fun times!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Our grandchildren took turns coming to our house and giving out the treats to the tricksters- of course they ate lots also.
    Thanks for hosting a giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I had a old gnarly Christmas tree that I spray painted black and we have a Halloween tree with spooky ornaments and lighted eyeball lights.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I love the lime green spiders!!! Our favorite tradition is for all of the grandchildren to come over on Halloween. We have a big pot of chili and then they go out trick or treating to our neighbors. It is wonderful.

    ReplyDelete
  35. My favorite halloween tradition is making my son's halloween costume. I imagine it will be more difficult has he gets older and has actual demands on what he wants to be instead of whatever I think it cute!

    ReplyDelete
  36. We decorate for Halloween almost as much as we do for Christmas! Chocolate chip pumpkin bread, matching Halloween shirts from Target and a trip to Disneyland are October musts!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Pumpkin carving with my kids. It used to be me doing it all but now that they're older they want to do it all and the results have been alot of fun. My boys are so proud of themselves when they've completed their masterpieces.

  38. A Halloween tradition growing up was going to my Grandmother's neighborhood to go trick or treating. lots of kids from my school lived there and it was fun to go TrT with them in a big group. I have since started taking my daughter there to TrT. She loves it!

    ReplyDelete
  39. I always love going trick or treating with the family. We always have a great time.

  40. My favorite tradition...Our town's Spook Parade. I am now helping and watching our Granddaughter parade down Main Street in costumes with the rest of the towns' children.

    ReplyDelete
  41. That Halloween fabric is the cutest!
    My favorite Halloween memory is when were little and lived on the farm, we dressed up, ran around the house, knocked on the door, said trick or treat AND REPEATED, over and over!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Okay, first I just have to say that I did not love the Ghastles. But I do love this cute fabric! It is adorable. My favorite Halloween tradition is carving the pumpkins. Our kids are grown now, but we always made a fun night of doing the carving. My son always made a scary, mean one, and the girls always made cute ones. So fun. Last year I got to do it with the Grandkiddies! That was fun too.

    ReplyDelete
  43. We love to go to the pumpkin patch and pick out pumpkins. Then we spend the evening trying to come up with cute ways to carve them :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. Nasty little cough you have there. LOL! Okay from this line I realllly like the stripe and the dot is cute too. If my number comes up please draw again. :D My favorite Halloween tradition is NOT HAVING TO OBSERVE Halloween anymore!!! I think maybe it was because my parents overdid it. I have 'some' fond memories of Halloween at home but it is just not the holiday for me. Unless there are donuts and apple cider involved. My son does love to do some cool pumpkin carving so I guess that would be the best part about Halloween.
    Let me know if you need some cough syrup. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  45. Oh I like the skulls and crossbones! I really do love carving pumpkins despite the fact that it is a mess and a pain. My good friend and I also have a tradition of making pumpkin food from our leftover Halloween pumpkins which is a lot of fun. Thanks for the darling giveaway.

  46. My brother would plan for weeks, grid the entire town (we lived in Sitka, Alaska so it was doable) and mom would give us old pillowcases. We would come home, dump our 'haul' on a sheet she had spread out and then go back out. Mom would take all the peppermint sticks (for crushing for cakes, etc) and other stuff she 'needed' (come to think of it, there never were any Babe Ruth left!!). We really worked hard on getting all t he goodies!!! Good old days. barbaramdahl(at)gmail(dot)com (Corky)

  47. As a child, of course, I loved to go trick or treating and get candy. Now I love to see my girls enjoy Halloween parties, carving pumpkins, and picking out their costumes.

    ReplyDelete
  48. We have a million Halloween traditions- carried over with my children from when I was a little girl. First, a visit to the fabric store pattern books with Grandma to pick costumes, which she then sews for all 8 grandchildren. On Halloween night, my dad comes with me to take the kids trick or treating- we live in a farm area, so basically we drive from house to house. Our top priorities are visiting elderly folks- many who I visited as a child because they were friends of my grandparents. Some of them only get one or two visitors on Halloween. It's so much fun, because they are really excited to see my kids. After we finish trick or treating, we head back to my mom's house, where she has a creepy Halloween meal prepared. We love Halloween.

    Sorry to write a book. For the record, I loved the "Ghastlies!"

  49. For me it is carving pumpkins. My husband is in English and he is finally getting into the whole thing. Our daughter is almost 6, so I guess soon we'll be working her into the knife wielding tradition.

  51. I have to say that I always hated Halloween as a kid. I was scared of the kids in costumes, and I think I was scared that if I put on a costume, nobody would know who I was! I have outgrown that, however. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  52. My favorite Halloween tradition is to put a boom box in the window on Halloween night and play a tape with creepy Halloween sounds (very loud)so the little goblins won't know what to think! And dress up when I come to the door.

    ReplyDelete
  53. So cute! I like walking the streets with my kids as they trick or treat.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Each year we pick out pumpkin seeds and plant them in our garden. It's a lot of fun watching them grow. We also get pumpkins from the pumpkin patch and have a blast carving all of them.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Wow, Is this international? I LOVE them!
    I love the dressing up & taking pics with funny poses!

    ReplyDelete
  56. My favorite Halloween tradition is making (and eating!) caramel corn. YUM! Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  57. As a child I loved making caramel and chocolate covered popcorn! Oh and some yummy hot chocolate for when you get home from trick or treating :) can't wait for my little one to be older so we can making yummy treats together!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Soft caramel popcorn balls! We make them every year for trick or treaters. I love that we live in small town and can give away homemade goodies to kids trick or treating. We wrap them up in little bags and tie off with strips of black and white polka dotted fabric and a plastic spider.

    ReplyDelete
  59. We used to make my parent's front porch into a pirate ship - it got more elaborate every year. We had a skeleton in a treasure chest, and made our own mast . . . my dad found a cd of pirate music. . . we were ahead of our time because this started BEFORE Pirates of the Caribbean (well before the movie, not before the ride obviously, lol!)

    ReplyDelete
  60. So cute! Love the spiders and the mummy. I always love the blindfolded put your hand in the cooked spaghetti to simulate brains trick.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I love being the one to give out candy and see all the great costumes

    ReplyDelete
  62. I love this set, even though the ghastlies were cute, too. We don't have a set tradition, but quickly trick or treat so we can see all the little ones in their costumes get their candy from us.

    ReplyDelete
  63. My favorite Halloween tradition would be... our Halloween dinner. Having the family together, enjoying each other and the crazy food. Always a good night.

    ReplyDelete
  64. My favorite thing about Holloween is having all the kids in their adorable costumes stopping by for candy.

    ReplyDelete
  65. My family doesn't really have Halloween traditions, but I love visiting the houses of other people who go all out decorating for the kiddos!

    ReplyDelete
  66. Selecting the perfect pumpkin, of course! That begins not only Halloween, but the perfect Fall Season!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. So cute! I love EVERYTHING about Halloween. My favorite tradition is getting together all of the kids I know (in costume) for homemade chili dinner. It's always lots of fun. I love looking back at the pictures of our annual event! Thanks for the fun!

    I love the picking of pumpkins...last year we even grew our own. That was an adventure!

    ReplyDelete
  72. I don't know that we have a special Halloween tradition -- you dress up, you go trick-or-treating, you get candy. Oh, you know what, my siblings and I would spread all our candy out and try and trade for the good stuff. My kids do the same thing now. I hear them wheeling and dealing in the dining room afterwards.

  73. Our past tradition was to decorate the door, leave the ourdoor lights on, and let the visiting kids select their own candy. After we moved, we began a new tradition. My brother fills a trailer with hay and pulls it behind his truck. Neighborhood children with parents are invited for a hot dog and marshmellow cookout at his barn. Then, once is dark, they load up for a hayride and drive around through fields to our house. We have all the lights off and go out, circle the wagon, and howl at the kids/parents. Then, we let them select candy. Can you picture two old women howling? We do a good job too because the kids start howling. After all is done, they continue on their hayride trip (now howling) through the fields and return to the barn. It is good fun without costumes or anything that would scare little ones. Please enter me in your giveaway.
