Giveaway: Artful Halloween!
Halloween is just around the corner, mamas! It's my absolute favorite holiday, so I am very excited to announce that I'll be giving away 2 copies of the fantastic book, Artful Halloween: 31 Frightfully Elegant Projects by Susan Wasinger. Two lucky ediTORIal readers will each win a copy of this guidebook to a "scary beautiful" Halloween.
I absolutely LOVED reading this book Рit offers a wide range of home d̩cor, costume, and party ideas that are faithful to the creepy, eerie Halloween mood without giving up elegance or sophistication. What more could a momista ask for?
The book not only does a great job of getting you in the Halloween spirit, but also tells you exactly what you need to re-create the ideas and gives easy to follow, step-by-step instructions for the projects. Even if you don't consider yourself to be the most experienced craftista, this book will take your Halloween decorations, parties, and costumes to the next level!
To enter, tell me what your favorite thing about Halloween is in the comments section. Good luck!
UPDATE: I've chosen the winners for this spooky contest! Congrats to ediTORIal readers Bunny Morton and Sharon Kruschen!
Love,
T

My favourite thing about Halloween is that it is my partner's birthday! It's fun that we both love Halloween and each year we get to celebrate it even bigger because it's his birthday =) Over here in Australia it is nowhere near as big as in America but we always love to celebrate =)

I love watching my son react to all of the festivites. Now that he is 2 1/2 he chose his own costume (Buzz Lightyear) and asked my husband to be Buzz too. I love looking at pictures of his first costume, along with his first encounter with trick or treaters and passing out candy. I love seeing Halloween through his eyes. Thats my favorite part of Halloween.

October is my birthday month and I have always found the fall colors to be just wonderful! I live where we get alot of fall colors and it is just beautiful. I love seeing my kids get all dressed up and watching all the kids come out for trick or treating! I also have to admit I love to decorate the house! It is just so much fun!!
-
My children are all in their twenties now so I envy you who have youngsters on Halloween so much!!! My husband and I LOVE to decorate, so we made life size (if 7 feet tall is life size) statues of Jack and Sally from the Nightmare before Christmas.
Decorated our whole front yard and sit on the porch eating chinese food and passing out trinkets to the trick or treaters.
It my second favorite thing on Halloween. My first is seeing the excitement in the kids eyes and hearing from the parents that the older trick or treaters told them about our house and they walked for blocks to find it!!!!
I love Halloween!!!

i love putting together special groups of treats for my special little trick or treaters....i usually have a couple of the kids at the store with me ...go down the sinful candy isle...and listen....the oooo's and ahh's...later i pick some of these up...wrap equal amounts of each in a colorful bandana i've sewn .....tie up like a hobo's sack...now they are easy to drop in the kids's bags...they have a bandana to keep and play with and the candy to do their sugar high for their parent (lol) ....it's fun, easy and pleasing to the kiddo's ....and i get to enjoy seeing their little costumes without the hassle of making sure i was pretty even with the group ....and of course it's a must to design something for my two yorkies...too fun

Blah blah blah moms! Let's keep it real! Dressing your kids up and decorating your home is all warm and sweet, but from the time I was a kid racing home on my bike after school on my favorite day of the year, Halloween has always been about one thing......CANDY! That's right, even though you could go to the store and buy candy on all the other 364 days of the year, this was the one day that you could actually get it from all your neighbors for FREE! Oh the excitement in waiting by the window for the sun to go down, so that you could grab your pillow case and head out to see what goodies your neighbors had in store for you! So now, at 37 years old with two candy loving tots of my own, my favorite part of Halloween is when we get home from a hard night of trick treating and my kids recklessly empty out their bags of candy all over the family room floor and I get to see upfront all the sugary bliss that will soon become my after hours, midnight indulgence!

Love the colors of Halloween; while passing out candy, seeing all the awesome ideas that the children's parents come up with for costumes; haunted houses....not really scary ones; the candy...I'm a chocoholic; but mostly the excitement on my grandkids' faces as they trick-or-treat.

My favorite thing about Halloween is getting my daughter all dressed up. And seeing her face when she gets to see herself in the mirror. I love going to my families house spending time with them laughing and joking around while we are passing out candy. And I love seeing what all the other little kids are wearing.
-
Seeing all the things mom friends come up with for homemade Halloween costumes is my fave! I never get tired of being awed by my friends' imaginations. Scary movie night at our house with the kids (complete with popcorn and cocoa) is always the kids' favorite :)

My family loves Halloween, My husband and son and daughter take turns every year on who picks our costumes which are usually a theme. We've been batman villians, the wizard of oz and little red and her wolves. My favorite was when my son was 13 he picked to be Micheal Jackson from the Thriller video and the rest of us were the zombies it was great. And of course I make most of the costumes.

There is a lot I love about Halloween, but what I love most it that its my birthday:) It has always been a bit more fun for me.

I wasn't a big fan of Halloween growing up but now that I have 4 kids, 9,5,4, 11 months, it has become one of my favorites! To watch my kids get so excited about dressing up, decorating the house, etc is just so much fun. Also now that my son was born last year Oct 25, 2011, we are having his 1st birthday celebration on Halloween with a big trick or treating/ 1st birthday party! Halloween is the start of the best 3 holidays of the year. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas!

I have always loved Halloween, I remember as a kid (age15) , when it was no longer cool to do the traditional trick or treating anymore...>I would race home set up the candy and wait and wait. Too bad we had only three houses on our block. My mission when house searching 25 years later was to find a home on a block with alot of kids! Thankfully my husband loves Halloween just as I do. Now, we set up a table for cinammon donuts and cider and the treats and with our own children wait to give all the kids a little special treat in between the traditional trick or treating. So much fun!! I wish Halloween happened twice a year!

I love seeing all the little ones with excitement in their eyes waiting to see what treats they are getting. I usually buy toys to give them and they go crazy! One year I gave out whistles! Although the moms weren't too happy I could hear them whistling down the street. It was the cutest!!! Made me smile!

My favorite part of this time of year is working with each of my kids to put together their costumes. I love seeing their faces and how much they enjoy their day. It is a great time for our family to come together. It's a time when the older kids do not worry and just have fun. I have a 12 year old dressing as a cookie monster, 9 year old as Effie Trinket from the Hunger Games, 7 year old as Captian America, and 5 year old as a butterfly. Hope your family has a great time celebrating.
