October approaches, so it's time for watching Nightmare Before Christmas, listening to 'Thriller' on the oldies station (can you believe that? oldie??), and planning awesome costumes. YAY! I luurrrvvvve Halloween in a way that makes me spell "love" like a 14-year old British girl. That's a powerful love.
To help everyone get into the proper Halloween spirit, I'm offering up a Halloween craft that is only treat, no trick. First treat: instructions on how to make this little project. Second treat: you might win the finished project. Details on how to win follow the project instructions.
But, on to the project...
I used some cute Halloween paper I got at the Little Blue House (http://thelittlebluehouseblog.blogspot.com/) to create some new word tags. The paper is from The Apothecary Emporium by Echo Park Paper Company and Bella Boulevard's Halloween collection, as well as some various glitter paper. I have 6 blocks to hang tags from, so the word "Spooky" worked nicely as a 6-letter word to use (note: I did not rip this off from LBH; the fact that they also did Spooky tags this year is coincidental. I will always let you know if I've jacked a project, unless I have accidentally jacked it).

But, now for the REALLY important stuff: How to win your own spooky decor.
I have 2 giveaways this week. The first giveaway is for a completed set of standalone tags. Because they are standalone, they do NOT need blocks to hang from and look great sitting on a desk, a mantle, a counter, or any flat surface. This will given to a random selected follower of this blog. The rules are:
1. You can't be my husband.
2. You can't be my child.
3. You must be a follower of this blog.
That's it-- no test, no gimmicks, no entry fee (if you want to send me money, it won't hurt your chances, but it also won't help them). Relatives who don't live in my house are eligible, as are non-relatives. You must be a follower of this blog by 8 p.m. CT on Friday, Sept. 30.
The second giveaway is a kit to make your own tags. Everything is cut out and ready to be assembled. This is a great little project for time-crunched crafters, someone looking for an easy Halloween project to work on with a kid, or those of you who really like "working with" glue. These tags are NOT standalone--they are made to hang from something, but it doesn't need to be blocks. I think they'd look nice hanging on a cork board, for example. To win this set, you need to leave a comment.
Giveaway 1: Standalone Spooky tags - You must be a follower to be eligible to win
Giveaway 2: Make your own tags kit - You must leave a comment to be eligible to win
Winners will be selected Friday, Sept 30, and announced either late Friday night or Saturday morning (depending on if the Rangers play their first playoff game on Friday--Go Rangers!). Check back on Saturday to see if you've won. If you win, I will need your address to send you the prize.
Good luck!
Jenny
