Okay, folks, we got ourselves two more prizes for the Halloween giveaway (which I now think I’m going to call the fiberdoodles-Inspired Halloween Blog Party Giveaway Extravaganza…I just like that word “extravaganza.” Gotta keep that in there!). At any rate, the prizes are: a hard cover copy of Joe Hill’sContinue Reading

I decided to even get my blog in the Halloween spirit by going with a new season-appropriate theme. It was a tough choice, let me tell you. There are a lot of nice designs out there! But ultimately I went with this one because I liked the feel best. IContinue Reading

Last week I mentioned how for the fiberdoodles Halloween Blog Party that I will be participating in, which starts October 19, I decided to do a giveaway.  Well, I can not stand it any longer! I am ready to get the party started NOW! So…Let the pre-party begin! THE PRIZESContinue Reading

Another fun contest I ran across today as I caught up on reading all the blogs I follow but am behind on was at the Raven Happy Hour Blog. It was about how Harlequin Nocturne Bites and Sony are sponsoring a Halloween Costume contest. The grand prize is a $199Continue Reading

Okay, I’ve been inspired by Mrs. B and her 31 Days of Halloween, Sharon’s fiberdoodles Halloween Blog Party, and MarZel’s Play of Light and Shadows October giveaways to have some Halloween fun too. I figured why not splurge and do a Christmas at Halloween kind of thing by giving away…what?Continue Reading

I’m nuts for Twitter. It would have driven me nuts before (as in before I started doing Haunt Jaunts), but for blogging purposes? WONDERFUL! It’s an invaluable tool. I wish I had taken advantage of it when I was still blogging for Families.com. I have learned a ton, and IContinue Reading

Yesterday I wrote about how one of the things I love doing during the Halloween season is checking out all the decorations people put up. Since this will be our fourth Halloween in Nashville, I know where some of the best decked out houses are. Over the next few weeksContinue Reading

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Halloween High Season is HERE! (I always consider the first day of October the start of it all. Hey, some people break out their whites during Memorial Day. October is all about the orange and black for me, baby!) But I’m not alone. IContinue Reading

Okay, so admittedly I’m a big freakin’ chicken when it comes to investigating haunted houses of the Halloween variety, but I love them nonetheless. I love their spirit (or spirits as the case may be) and I love what they represent. I love that they allow people of all agesContinue Reading

A couple weeks back I wrote about FEARnet’s a Haunting in LA Sweepstakes. That Haunt Jaunt isn’t necessarily Halloween specific, although it does take place in October. But it did include something popular to do around Halloween, a ghost tour. It also gave the winner more than just one prize.Continue Reading

< p style=”text-align: center;”> I have Twitter to thank for introducing me to Scare for a Cure, a non-profit out of Austin, Texas, that “raises money for local cancer charities one scream at a time.” I figured it’d be a good thing to write about today. For one, Halloween isContinue Reading

I’ve got a confession to make regarding Halloween Haunted Houses. I’m making it because starting this week, then over the coming weeks, I’ll be writing extensively about all things Halloween. But especially about haunted houses. (They’re among the perfect Haunt Jaunts to make at this time of year, aren’t they?)Continue Reading
