Any excuse to dress up is a good one, as far as I'm concerned. The latent actress in me, I guess. Most years I'm one Disney Villain or another. This year my granddaughter is Princess Aurora, so Maleficent it is. :)
ReplyDeleteDeb, that is awesome that you play the villain to the princess!
ReplyDeleteLove your pig costume. I honestly can't remember any of my costumes that were particularly outstanding. My kids always remember the time my husband dressed up as a baby--diaper and all.
ReplyDeleteSuper Cute Merrillee, I love that your hubby did that! My pig is the only one I really remember, and that was because I was just looking through photo albums. OH! And one year, my baby was a Pig, so I wore overalls and went as a farmer, carrying my little piggie around. :)
ReplyDeleteHooray....I am so excited to be a winner! Thanks so much!

Would love to win any of the new releases. I read all three lines although this year am leaning towards suspense.
ReplyDeleteIn Australia up until recently we didn't really have Halloween so have never dressed up.
No idea what I would have dressed up as but as a kid probably a ballerina or princess. Although I had people say I would make a good Alice in Wonderland. Now I could go as a Cricket Fanatic compete with signed top (I have two training shirts of players plus a top I got signed by most of one team last year.)
love the pic.
Jenny, I am surprised Australia didn't celebrate Halloween. Wasn't that a tradition we got from our English ancestors?
ReplyDeleteLove to see folks that dress up, have a nephew in Tx that does this with his wife..have not dressed up since a kid growing up, then we usually just dressed in old clothes to big for us and stuff pillows to be a fat person, did not have store bought costumes, come from family of 9. I love LI books and looks like you guys are going all out with the treats and more then one book to be given away. thanks for making today a special one for some lucky winner...

You're welcome Jackie!!
ReplyDeleteJenny, you would be a great Alice in Wonderland. :)
Pol, we didn't get a lot of store bought costumes either. This year, I expected my little one to want one, but she wanted to go to the second hand store and build her own costume. So she did.
Leann, I guess it was something that didn't come here from England. In the past decade its becoming more popular and the trick and treat is only the past few years. I had someone knock on the door about 4 years ago but never any other time and I hope not any time soon. Here its daylight til around 7.30 or later.
ReplyDeleteI know some do the dressing up but it seem to be the bad side. with most being witches, vampires, etc. We very much have the bad side of it here.
I haven't dressed up for Halloween in years, but I do enjoy the candy! I really like the Love Inspired books! Thanks for the giveaway!

Hi Katie! The candy is a plus. :)
ReplyDeleteI dress up! I was the Grim Reaper this year. I sat on my front patio in a chair as still as could be with my black hood over my face. Through the material I can see when people come close. If their little, I raise the hood. If they're bigger, I push the music button I have in my hand and Psycho music starts to play. My candy dish has a hand that grabs at them. I have a phone that rings and when they answer it, a ghostly voice says "I'll meet you at the grave." heheheh
ReplyDeleteI don't dress up, but my kids do. And I would love to win any of the new releases! I need to dress up as a bookworm !!!
