It's Halloween week! Oh, and another giveaway.

Yay! I've been waiting all year, and it's finally here - the week before Halloween. That means I'm going to post Mod Podge Halloween projects all week. I like Halloween because:
-Orange and black are nice together
-You can dress up like anybody or anything you want
-Candeh is yummeh
-No gift giving pressure
-Mod Podge projects are the most funnest this time of year, duh!

I'm starting the week with a project of my own - Halloween minis. I love mini things, and it only seems fitting that I combine minis with my favorite holiday. I know you want to get to the giveaway, so I'm abbreviating instructions here. I used Martha Stewart papers and embellishments from last year (she has some really cool ones this year at Michaels). Acrylic paint was used.

Small birdhouse - Paint birdhouse black, roof, perch and base paint white. Make orange polka dots on top of the black with the end of a paintbrush. Cut paper to fit the roof and Mod Podge down. Seal the entire birdhouse with two coats of Mod Podge. Add ribbon and embellishments (buttons and stickers) with craft glue.

Cat plaque - Paint plaque and wood cat piece black. Cut papers to fit the front of plaque and then the cat piece. Mod Podge the paper to the cat piece, coat it again and set aside. Coat the outside edge of the plaque with FolkArt Extreme Glitter in black (this stuff rocks!). Let dry and then Mod Podge the paper down to the top of the plaque. Mod Podge on top and allow to dry. Then glue down the cat piece, a ribbon on the top and some eyes (used orange rhinestones) with craft glue. Add black rhinestones around the edges on the points.

Okay, that's done. Now, THE GIVEAWAY. It's Mod Podge, of course!

Meet Shimmer, Sparkle and Glitter! With the holidays coming, I thought I should spread the specialty love. So what's the deal?

FIVE winners.
You pick TWO bottles - choose from Silver Glitter, Gold Glitter, Silver Shimmer, Gold Shimmer or Sparkle.

All you have to do is leave a comment sometime this week telling me your favorite thing about Halloween. That's it! One entry per person. Contest ends Halloween night at midnight. Enjoy your Halloween week!

I love making the costumes for my kids! It's so much fun!!!

my favorite part of halloween is taking my little boy to the pumpkin patch and getting to dress him up in cute costumes!!

Ok, I'm a new follower to your blogspot, however I feel I should tell you how much I enjoy reading all about your art and checking out your blog.
I just have to enter to win the Gold shimmer and Sparkle modge podge. They would look great on my Christmas paintings.
Come check out my blogspot when you're free.
Cheers,
Anna Rosa

My favorite part of Hallow's Eve: getting to tell ghost stories and having them be relevant! (I tell ghost stories on a regular basis).

My favorite thing is dressing up my daughter! She's too darn CUTE! Makes me smile!

I love Halloween since you can do cool decorations and come up with unique ideas for the Trick or Treaters in your family. I don't like giving candy so I challenge myself to do something different every year. Usually involves Mod Podge in some way. This year with the economy I haven't been able to do anything for the kids this year.

I love the excitement of my little girls when they see all the candy they're given. (Of course, that excitement is slightly short-lived as I quickly step in and moderate the candy consumption!)

not much happens for Halloween here in Oz but I do love an excuse to carve a pumpkin!

My favorite thing about Halloween is the fact that it marks the beginning of the end of the year series of holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years). I think of it as the appetizer in a four course meal-lol! Kind of a weird analogy but with the candy treats as an appetizer before the real feast begins with Thanksgiving and Christmas then New Years is left as dessert to top it all off to end the year. :)

I just love this time of year. Unfortunately, it doesn't get quite cold enough in Hawaii to really feel like fall/winter. But I love the costumes and all the neat crafty stuff during Halloween. Although it takes me a while and can be a bit frustrating, I do enjoy making my daughters' costumes.

My favorite thing about Halloween is the decorations..sometimes some of ours are decorations "All Year 'Round".

My favorite thing about Halloween is candy, specifically, chocolate candy. Forget diets when Halloween is here.

The best part about Halloween is watching the elementary school kids during their costume parade. Last year, as all of the parents watched, I overheard a little boy who was one of several Harry Potters, say to his friend "Wow, they think I'm the real Harry Potter!". Too cute!

my favorite thing about halloween is the huge assortment of candy! i love chocolate, but have that any time of year (plus im from guam, so it melts fast anyway). i wait for this holiday to have sweet tarts and banana laffy taffy... yum! thank you. peperoroses[at]gmail[dot]com

I think that I love Halloween because it is the start of cooler weather here in VA and we get to become someone else through costume.

This year Halloween is catching my attention because of all the cool craft projects, scrapbooking paper & rubber stamps out there. Really gotten me inspired for the first time in a while!

My favorite part of Halloween is carving a pumpkin with my love, Ryan. Every year we spend two weeks picking out the perfect design! I also love putting together treat bags for the local kids. We go all out because we only get about 10 kids (boonies) we LOAD their baggies with goodies! xo

My favorite thing is everyone in our neighborhood sitting on their front porches with pumpkins carved and walking around, chatting and catching up with everyone :) And snickers candy bars :)

So much to love about Halloween. The colors, the making of things, the planning and decorating, and the visiting with family! The playfulness of an old-fashioned Halloween really captures my imagination.

As a child, and even into my adult years, Halloween was my all time favorite! I loved the "dressing up" part of this wonderful holiday! Being able to become someone or something that was different from my usual shy self!

I get to dress up my baby as a bumble bee!!! Can't wait.

My favorite thing Halloween is going to my mother's house and find the whole garden full of lanterns and pumpkins.

My favorite thing about Halloween is letting my daughter help me decorate the house! (She's two) and she loves helping with the "Nations" :)

Making happy fall cards with my puppies dressed up!

My favorite part of Halloween is the free candy everywhere and the excuse to buy candy, to give away of course :)

I love the candies and costumes.
Thanks a lot.

Hi! I just ran across your blog and I love it! Im bookmarking it! My favorite thing about Halloween is carving pumpkins! My husband usually carves one, and I usually carve one and its neat to see how they turned out--and how different our ideas can be!

Hi! I just ran across your blog and I love it! Im bookmarking it! My favorite thing about Halloween is carving pumpkins! My husband usually carves one, and I usually carve one and its neat to see how they turned out--and how different our ideas can be!

I love the costumes!! It's great to see what unique things people come up with to wear.

Chocolate. It's just the beginning of the extra poundage I'll be feeling come 2011!

I love all of the pumpkin baked goods! Yummy. And Roasted Pumpkin seeds...mmmmm...now I am hungry!

I love seeing little kids in costumes and how excited they get. Oh, and the candy :)

Terrific projects! So glad I stumbled upon this blog. I have to say, one of my favorite things about Halloween is that intangible crackle in the air, part wafting seasonal spices, part thrumming energy from party-goers & trick-r-treaters, part atmosphere of magick. Maybe that's what I love, the certain magick of open doorways and group masquerading. Sigh.

Wonderful responses all around!

I love the mystery of Halloween! The dark stormy nights and everyone dressed up and having fun. Halloween will never get old for me, I love it!

I love it because it's the start to the holidays, it's fun to see the kids dress up and we still go door to door which brings back childhood memories. Oh and Halloween has some FUN treats!

My favorite thing about Halloween is dressing up! I'm determined to do it all of my life. :)

AWESOME Mod Podge! I never knew that they had sparkly or shimmery kinds.

I love dressing up and figuring out unique costume ideas!

I can finally dress as a vampire without people thinking I need need men in white coats...
disintegratingstarr@hotmail.com

I love giving out candy to all the trick-or-treaters! The costumes are so fun to see!

fun giveaway! I love dressing up for halloween! dressed up as a fairy this year!

I love watching me kids get so excited about the costumes!

Listening to my four year old and her three year old cousin try to scare themselves!

I just discovered your website and Mod Podge!! I have so many things that I want to make!
The reason that I love Halloween is that it is the beginning of the Holiday season. It is such the perfect holiday to start it all off. There are so many cheap crafts that you can do with your kids. My mom still uses some that I made back in Elementary school! I love this time of year with the leaves, the crisp air, and the food!

My fave thing about Halloween is seeing all of the kids dressed up in their costumes and so excited to get lots of candy :} I also love HAUNTED HOUSES
tanyainjville@yahoo.com

Halloween here in the UK is more sinister with children and teenagers doing more tricking than treating, as they dress up to look like horror characters and the streets and door answering is often avoided. A shame, perhaps, as family time and some treat time are qualities that are needed here.

I admit Orange and Black and Purple do look good together and when else do you get to use them, but at Haloween!

I love halloween because I can put my 16 month old son in cute costumes and parade him around town. Oh yeah, and I love candy!!!

my fave thing about Halloween is the stinkin' cute decorations and mixes of color that I love. I can't even express how great orange, purple, green and black together make me weak in the knees. '
Oh - yeah and my kids have fun and candy!
Joanna

My favorite thing about Halloween is dressing up my kid. Not myself, just my kid. Costumes are way cuter for her, anyways.

Oh, and the candy. Don't EVER forget the candy.

I love the weather!! Fall is my favorite because it brings all the wonderful family filled holidays!!

The reason that I ♥ Halloween is to see all of the creative costumes, can you imagine what their moms were thinking when they had to make some of them with "NO" pattern? If they are not good at sewing :) That's the coolest part; the kids are so proud of their costumes:)

My favorite thing about Halloween is the decorating :)

What I love most of halloween is the candy corn. I like the one with the chocolate stripe. I can eat them all day....hmmmyummy...

email: mariela_ms@Hotmail.com

I don't know that I can pick just one thing I love about Halloween. It is my most favorite holiday of the year. I love how creatvity comes out of people by way of their crafts, costumes, decorations, etc. I love that the most unexpected people let loose, dress up, and have fun! I love black and orange, vintage decorations, costumes, candy,and all the fun!

I was hoping to be comment 31 for Halloween... My favorite thing about Halloween is getting creative with costumes... Both making them and admiring those who have made creative cuties.

My favorite thing about Halloween? Strolling around the neighborhood with costumed kids.

Cute kids in adorable costumes make me smile :)

My favorite thing about Halloween is definitely the candy! I will admit I am addicted to the sweet stuff, I love to find different kinds that come out for the holiday, like gourmet candy corn, or Hershey's candy corn kisses etc. Thanks for the opportunity to win these awesome Mod Podge's!

I love the decorations that people put aotside their houses, they can go nuts about Halloween. I wanna win a modge podge glitter! lol

My favorite thing about halloween is the pumpkin carving...or rather the guts from pumpkin carving LOL Every year I soak my hands in pumpkin guts, and water to sort out all the seeds to bake :) Fresh baked seeds are the best :)

My favorite thing about Halloween is the candy! Good thing my daughter likes to share hers. :)

My favorite part of Halloween are the costumes!

My favorite part of Halloween is coming up with a costume. This is the first year I was able to make a costume for my 9 month old. It is so much fun.

My favorite thing about Halloween is Light the Night at our church where they give gobs of only the best chocolate candy bars to everyone! And the fact that it's my son's birthday the day before.

I love the leaves changing and watching the kids jump in the leaf pile.

Carving pumpkins is my favorite. And knowing that thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner.

I LOVE the kids in all their cute little costumes!

I do love Halloween because of the candy but I also love it because it means my birthday and my Hubby's birthday are a week away!

I love getting all dressed up on Halloween night!

I love Halloween! I love dressing up. I love eating candy. I love being creative with dinner. I love being creative with dinner. And, I love that it is the start of the holiday season!

The best thing about Halloween has to be the pumpkins. I love carving them, decorating with them, and especially eating them! Thanks!

I'm traditional...I love the candy! I love the great deals on yummy candies...my favorite seasonal candy is the Pumpkin-shaped Reeses. Mmmmmm. So good!
Cute blog!!

I love the crazy huge party my parents throw every Halloween. My mom has been looking forward to this Halloween for a few years because it's on a Saturday - no joke. We start decorating a week in advance. Everything gets decorated! Halloween shower curtain, rug, jack-o-lantern gel decals on the mirror, black light, fog machine, fake spider webs, Halloween hand towels, ghost string lights - and that's just the bathroom. We go all out and it's so fun!

I love decorating the house for Halloween. It is as simple as that.

I love the day after candy sales! But previous to Halloween, I love the hayrides and haunted houses

C A N D Y ! ! ! ! Need I say more?....Also, LOVE Monday's craft :)

I would love to try Mod Podge!! I think I'm the only one who's never tried it :)

My favorite part about Halloween is dressing up my kiddos in costumes, and taking them out trick-or-treating! It's also my excuse to eat lots of candy :)

lisabradford101@gmail.com

My favorite thing about Halloween is sneaking candy from the kids when they're not looking.

BOO! Happy Halloween Amy! Halloween means fall is finally here in Southern California. We're still enjoying 90' weather, but enough of sandals and tank tops, we're all craving cozy sweaters, fuzzy blankets and comfortable sweats! So for us, Halloween means the end of summer and the beginning of falling leaves and falling temperatures! I work with mod podge a lot in my altered art projects, but haven't yet gotten past the original and antique types -- would love to try some glitter! Have fun trick-o-treating!

I'm not overly into Halloween ... but I love to see my neighbors kids dressed up - they are so cute!

My favorite thing about Halloween is definitely decorating! It's always been a tradition in my family to make our house one of the highlights of our neighborhood!

My favorite part is going through my kids candy bags after they go to bed and steal the good candy!

My favorite thing about Halloween is sharing my kids' enthusiasm! We've been crafting and cooking spooky treats all week and they are so thrilled with getting dressed up. Their excitement is so contagious and reminds me what really matters.

andeering@comcast.net

Oooo...look at the sparkly, shimmery, and glittery mod podge! Who knew! Back to the comment: I LOVE the smell of the toasting pumpkins on the steps! I also love the costume face makeup all over my best towels - NOT.
From Fran in Utah

Halloween is the time where you get to see the creativity of people who swear they don't have a creative bone in their body. I like the silver shimmer and the sparkle.

My favorite part about Halloween is all the festing! I love the blog fests, the live fests, and the dressing up. Actually my very favorite part is really from Day of the Dead, not Halloween -- I looooove making and decorating sugar skulls!

I LOVE Halloween for many reasons. In no particular order:

I love the colors black,orange, yellow, red and purple all mixed together. What other time of year can you get away with that?

Here in Az, we finally get a break from the 100's.

Pumpkin picking at a farm with my boys.

Making fun spookey decorations with my boys.

Watching my boys get super excited about it ALL. Not just the trick-or-treating. For them the TOTing is kind of anticlimatic.

Finding all the fun Halloween books to read with my boys.

Carving pumpkins and roasting their seeds.

Oh and playing dress up for one night. ;)

I could go on...I love all the fun crafts floating around in blog land for Halloween.

I think sparkle and gold shimmer sound fun!

Thanks,
Katrina

I love watching my kids have so much fun Trick or Treating.

I love the way the air smells . . . smokey and crisp. I love the spooky decorations and costumes - I always want to be a witch. Most of all, I love that my daughter was born a few days before and we celebrate all week long, ending with Halloween night.

Awesome site! I found it through the "blogs of note" list, and I am so glad! I have lately become obsessed with ModPodge because I used it to cover some little baskets in brightly colored tissue paper for my little one's nursery and I used metal washers and scrapbooking paper to make Halloween pendants. I ADORE Halloween! As a former elementary school teacher I love everything about it! The colors, the decorations, the parties, the stories, and, best of all, the COSTUMES!!! My favorite part of the year was dressing up with my students and celebrating good old fashioned wholesome fun!

The fun decorations and crafts, of course! :) I didn't even know there were sparkly ModPodges. Where have I been?? -Tammy

My favorite thing about Halloween is Pumpkin carving night with cider and scary movies!

Great giveaway! My fav thing about Halloween is seeing my nieces and nephews dressed up. So adorable! Thanks!jacquecurl1@gmail.com

Definitely the children's costumes.

1. I LOVE halloween because we get to make our FLAMING PUMPKIN that shoots out 4 feet of flame. The whole neighborhood comes to see it- and take pictures, of course. (I would post a picture here, but don't think I can... I'll email it to you.) We pass out around 400 pieces of candy.. the door never shuts.

2. Halloween is AWESOME because, as a third-grade dual language immersion teacher over half my class is from Mexico and they have NEVER carved a pumpkin... get to share the joy of being the first to do it with them... It also gives me an excuse to do all sorts of crafts and read spooky stories. How wonderful it would be to have Mod Podge to help me out!! ;) I give my address out to all my students, dress up, and have a *special* bag for them when they come..

3. It's a fun family time/tradition that all of us enjoy... my dh, my 18 yr old son, and 15, 13, and 11 yr old daughters... Oh, the cookies, candies, and candelabras!

Darcy

I love to have the kids coming to the door and giving out goodies. Thanks for the giveaway.

My favorite thing about Halloween is the chocolate and watching how excited my little girl gets when people give her candy.

I used to be super in to halloween..until we moved into our current home 6 years ago. NO ONE does halloween here. Not even 1 trick or treater! what?!?! However, My 2 year old inspired me this year! There is NOTHING more amazing then watching your child light up when they are picking a costume, making cookies with mom or pumpkin pickin. DS has shown me that we can be as festive as we want! BOO on the neighbors who don't celebrate! LOL

My favorite thing about Halloween? Why, the candy of course! :)

Mandy Burkett: my favorite thing about halloween - it's my daddy's birthday!!!
mandy-burkett@sbcglobal.net

I love everything about Halloween especially trick or treating with my kids. I really want some Modge Podge :)

It's the beginning of all the holidays! Also love fall colors, so warm and comforting.

Just discovered your blog. Fascinating !
I love bats and witches and can indulge myself on Halloween. ;)

My favorite thing is taking my kids to trick-or-treat in my brother's cul-de-sac. One of his neighbors hosts a cookout so the parents don't have to worry about making dinner that night!

All the candy!

My favorite thing about Halloween is candy! no dressing up! no, candy!

My favorite part about HALL - O -WEEN is decorating our house and also wearing a costume . I love to scare kids during trick or treating and give them lots and lots of candies...

I love the candy!!

I love the gold shimmer! My favorite part of Halloween in the annual haunted House here at the local university. We bring our daughter every year. She is fearless.

The candy, the jack-o-lanterns, the season (love fall), the costumes!

I am just beginning to use Mod Podge and I would love this giveaway!!

I love the birdhouse! A set of them would make a fabulous Haunted Neighborhood scene!

I am not a big fan of halloween, but I DO love Fall, carving pumpkins, and handing the candy out to the kids!!

mandyhornbuckle at gmail.com

My favorite thing about Halloween is dressing up, don't get me wrong I like the kids costumes too, but I really look forward to dressing up each year! It makes me feel like a kid again!

Working with elementary school students, my favorite part about halloween is seeing how excited they get!! I'm hearing too many costume plans for "Hannah Montana" and "Vampire" But its just too fun!
katieteresa@aol.com

Black poofy cats! And horror movies! = )

My kids are grown now, but they still love Halloween and giving out the candy on Halloween night. I love the Halloween parties at school, the kids trick or treating and watching them sort through their candy when they get home.

I love that you can stay up late eating sweets with your kids in crazy getups and no one says a thing about it!

My favorite part of Halloween is getting my twin toddlers dressed up for my photo taking rampage...

I have to take dozens of pictures of them running aroound in their tiny cotumes, but it is so worth it when a few come out perfect!!

Haloween Rocks the Casbah!

Hmmm I would have to say the fall atmosphere.... and the candy is pretty good too! :)

i love your blog! such fun ideas! the thing i most enjoy about halloween is how it gets people out and about and we get to see neighbors we don't otherwise see through the year.

i'd love to win some mod podge!
dbhowellfaily at gmail dot com

Love the look in my son's eyes when he looks INSIDE his candy bag as he's trick or treating.

Love the bird house!!

My girls and I love to drive around at night and look at everyones decorations. I also love how the air is cold and when the wind blows the dry leaves it is so spooky sounding

I actually don't celebrate halloween, but the little kids in costume are always adorable!

What fun to have a giveaway!
I have used taditional mod podge, but NEVER the sparkly or glittery kind, so I am excited to maybe win some!
Can I say too, that it was the MOST genius thing of you to make a tips and tricks/instruction sheet for using it. People that have long used it have so many hints for getting a great finish, etc. I hope you keep *adding to that document* with updates as you get them/find them (like adding the links for using it to transfer, or other ways of using it-like as a no-fray for ribbon, organza, etc.)
Keep up the good work!
~Holisticgal Jen

I really like Halloween, a few years ago, it was practically unknown here in Chile, but now it's huge! This year I'm finally at a house, so we will be giving out candy!

It's my favorite holiday. I love all things Halloween, especially if it lights up!!

wearehappy@comcast.net

My favorite thing about Halloween is planning and making costumes for my daughter, husband and myself. There is something a little more meaningful about Halloween when you know blood, sweat and tears went into the construction of your costume.

my favorite thing is the adorable kid's costumes!! :) and I am going to go buy sparkle mod podge if i don't win because i know it will be love at first sight (or craft). :)

Getting to wear a costume without getting weird stares! LOL

I love this holiday now that my daughter is excited to dress up! I love watching all the adorable little kids in their costumes.
ckdusk@gmail.com

My favorite thing about Halloween is making my kid's costumes and eating pumpkin pie.

ranaysmith(at)yahoo(dot)com

I'd have to say the costumes. I spend the whole year planning, designing and making my costume for a friend's annual party. I have so much fun with the creative process and that's my day to show off my work.

My favorite thing is making costumes! Last year I was a tootsie roll, and I made a Tickle Me Elmo costume and a roll of toilet paper costume. (:

My fav thing is seeing all those cute lil kiddo's with their eyes all bright and fun little costumes on! Go Mod Podge! www.katescraftcorner.blogspot.com

My favorite thing about halloween is deciding on a costume. I love to be a different person one day out of the year.

The process, preparation and the hype is so fun. Too bad halloween only lasts for one day :(

I like Halloween because it's a time to get dressed up in fancy dresses! We become kings or queens or angels or ghosts for that one day! :)

I love Halloween becoz it's fun getting dressed up. We become kings or queens or angels or ghosts for that one day! :)

My VERY favorite thing about Halloween is that you can find horror movies EVERY day all month long- LOVE THAT!
Ok, I like the costumes, candy, and community spirit of trick or treating too. :)

My favorite thing about Halloween THIS year is that my first baby is due! Now, everyone... send your labor-inducing vibes my way! (And your easy-labor ones, too, while you're at it!)

Two words - FOAM PUMPKINS!!! i mean honestly how can you pick ONE favorite thing about halloween??? the candy is a given...
anyways - awesome giveaway! I think glitter mod-podge might be the best thing ever invented!!! hope your halloween celebration is fun!

I used to love making homemade costumes for my daughters for Halloween. Now, they would rather have store-bought. So making home-made projects for the house has become my priority. I've been using Mod Podge for the lsat couple of years - my latest discovery? I buy various picture frames from the Dollar Store. Then I take wrapping paper or fabrics and decouppage them onto the frames. So many varieties to choose from - Halloween fabrics, sunflowers, "Happy Birthday" paper, plaids, polka-dots. I heart mod podge. The Silver Shimmer and Sparkle look very interesting. I'll have to check them out. I've only used the regular Mod Podge.

dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com

the CANDY!! better yet, the CHOCOLATE!!

I love your cat plaque- and these glitter paints look fun! My favorite thing about Halloween is the jack-o-lanterns, I don't know why but they are so cool to me!

It's fun watching the kids get so excited about dressing up, and also pretty fun to share the candy afterwards... :)

I LOVE taking my kids trick-or-treating! It's so much fun!

My favorite thing about Halloween are memories of my Mom and how special she made them for me as a child. She continued that with her grandchildren. This will be our 3rd year without her and everything about Halloween reminds me of her.

The best thing about Halloween is that you can make yourself a crazy make-up , hairdo, clothes and go out on the road and feel good about it!ha ha haaaaaaaaaa!!! That's fantastic

It's a toss up between the candy & the cute kids LOL!!

The free candy! Earning enough free candy to equal the cost of the costume!

I love the decorations: from carves pumpkins to cobwebs! Really, I love EVERYTHING about Halloween!!

Going trick or treatin' with my daughter

Favorite thing about Halloween? Seeing everyone's creativity shine! I love original and unique costumes. Boo to the mass produced spider-mans out there.

Halloween is my favorite holiday because we can dress up and act like a kid even if we aren't, I love ghosts, zombies and monsters, and who doesn't love candy? Oh and I especially love that it is on Saturday this year!

Halloween has always been my fave holiday and my most fave thing about Halloween now that I have a little boy is getting to take him Trick-or-Treating and dressing him up.
thegrants(at)live(dot)com

All the amazingly creative homemade costumes. I lived in Salem, MA for 11 years, and now live the next town over, and you see some absolutely jawdropping costumes in Salem around Halloween. Some of these people must start making next year's costume on November 1st!

I love the Pumpkins and the creative way people carve them

Hey Amy!! Love the Giveaway!!
I really love all of the cute kids coming by to trick or treat!! And trunk or treat at church!!

My favorite thing this year was dressing my adorable six month old son up as a lion! Oh he was the cutest thing I've ever seen! I can't wait to make a fun frame to put a picture in of his first Halloween!

My favorite is that I love to see all the little kids in their fun costumes

My favorite thing about Halloween is decorating and of course seeing my children in their home made costumes!! I'm glad I got in on this just in time before midnight.

My favorite thing about Halloween is boring and obvious but really it's seeing the holiday through my 3 year old. I am sure every mother says that. But it's true seeing how you child is amazed by it is fabulous.

Amy I love both of your projects! I have a little bird house, but got it last year around Valentine's Day so the opening is heart not a circle. I wanted to alter it but never got around to it. I think I'll modify your design with the cute dots for mine.

PS: Do you use another sealer on top of the Mod Podge? I usually don't but lately was wondering if I used a varnish on top.

I hope it's not midnight yet there.

I love Halloween, because my sister has a party every year. We all get dressed up and have so much fun!

So so cute! I can't believe I missed the giveaway! We have swine flu at our house. Yup...our whole family.

So Halloween was not a blast for us this year! Thanks for linking up...I always love your projects!

Oh my goodness - look how many comments you have over here!

Love your projects. I would love to win some of that festive mod podge - I've never tried any of those before!

I love Halloween because it gives people of all ages a chance to dress up as something they aren't and have a blast doing it. Plus the weather beginning to turn slightly cooler just makes me love the time so much more because it is getting me ready for winter =]

I like Halloween, because that means that Christmas is just around the corner.

I love the candeeeeeee but all of the spooky things, too. My daughter and I love sticky severed hands (plastic - we're not psychotic) into my hubby's briefcase or a severed finger in his lunch box. I love fall!!
