My favourite costume was always a "baby". Fuzzy warm pjs, pigtails, freckles, & a bottle. Warm, comfortable, & easy!! lol!
My favorite was Tinkerbell! Mostly because I loved the fairy wings. :D
I have 2 sisters and one Halloween my mom made all 3 of us corresponding flower costumes - down to the dyed green tights (each in her preferred color).
My favorite costume was the Great Pumpkin my mother turned my baby brother into. He was so adorable.
My mom made my sisters and me Crayon costumes out of felt.
My favorite costume was when I was American Girl Kiersten. My mom made my costume, and we hunted through five different fabric shops looking for the perfect fabric to match. :)
I loved Halloween! I think my favorite costume was of a Witch... my Mom braided my hair the night before, lots of braids with lots of gel. She unbraided it in the morning and it really looked like a witch's hair!! Thanks for the chance to win...
My favourite was a witch - loved the face makeup :)
The only costume I remember was a football player.
My favorite costume was as a chick hatching from an egg. Had yellow tights on, and a foam egg bottom with a piece of it as a cap (jagged edges for effect). I wore glasses and I affized feathers to my glasses as a "mask". Worked out so well I won a prize for best costume..that was a fun party.
my favourite was a robot.. lots of tin foil and recycled boxes were used!
My favourite costume was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, probably because that's one of my all time favourite movies! I'm 43 years old and I still watch it every time it plays on television.
All of my brothers and sisters were Tweety Bird one year or another. It is so funny to see that costume show up again... and again... and again... and again!
Mermaid was my favorite! It had a spandex fin and I wore it to my fifth grade costume parade at school. It was crazy waddling around outside, but so much fun!
My favorite costume was as a musician. Fabric is gorgeous!
I fondly rmemeber the year I was King Kong...
My favorite costume was a gypsy!
Hands down when I was 9 and Grandma made me a Wonder Woman costume. I loved that one but my sister stole it the next year, then the next sister .. etc.. :D
Thanks for a chance at the lovelies!
My fav was strawberry shortcake
I don't remember how old I was, but in elementary school one year I wanted to be a keyboard (my keyboard that I owned, specifically), so my poor mom spent hours painting a box so that I could be this big, walking keyboard piano. She did an awesome job, but I think she was grateful the next year when I just wanted to be a princess. christina112358 at gmail dot com
My favorite was a witch :o)
Way back in prehistoric days I remember dressing as a hobo complete with nap sack on a stick.
This would be majorly frowned upon today (and maybe it was back then too, but I didn't notice). I was a pack of Kool cigarettes, lol. My uncle made my costume out of a big cardboard box and I had a few cigarettes coming out of the top of the box next to my head. It was actually pretty great. ;0

My favorite was Scarlet O'Hara, my mother made my costume.
HI! OH IT WAS CASPER! I LOVED BEING 'A LITTLE GHOST'+THINK I WORE IT MORE THAN ONE SEASON! THANKS FOR A SWEET GIVEAWAY!

I remember one year my mom came home with magic markers, brads, and poster board. She made me a die (as in single dice) and my sister a clock with moving hands. We thought she was so amazing! Everyone gushed over how great they were and how unique! It never occurred to my sister and I until years later that my mom probably couldn't afford costumes that Halloween and she managed to outfit the two of us so that we never knew.
I'll always remember the ballerina outfit I wore at about age 6. thanks for the giveaway.
The only one I can remember is being a princess. I think I might have used that costume quite a few times. :-)
When I was growing up so many years ago, I don,t think people were nearly so creative! I was usually a ghost and my brother was usually a hobo! And our costumes were no less elaborate than anyone else's were!
I love reading all these! For years all five of us kids would go as gypsies - I think because we couldn't afford costumes. It was a lot of fun every time.
My favorite was when I was Casper the Ghost. I just loved that cartoon.
Seems like the only costume I remember is dressing like a Hobo -- baggy men's clothes, hat, bandana tied on a stick and a dirty face. We didn't have much for store bought costumes and had to make do with what we had. Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
My friend in 4th grade and I dressed as a three legged, two headed mummy. Her mom tore up I don't know how many sheets and wrapped us together. We were doing great on the treats that night, until after several hours we lost our 3 legged rhythm and fell in a big snow bank (did I mention I grew up in Alaska? We were so cold after that!) I just remember the two of us shivering and laughing hysterically.
Pumpkin :) I can't wait to dress my kids as cute pumpkins one day, lol!
One year, my mom sewed a princess costume for me and a witch costume for my sister. I loved them both and it was the only year she sewed our costumes for Halloween. The pictures are the sweetest and I wish we still had the costumes. I believe that would have been about 1982 or 1983. I hope to get better at sewing and make my boys something next year!
My favorite costume? Once I was a flip-flop. I made it myself out of paper mache. It wasn't terribly comfortable, but it was AWESOME.
I dressed up as a bag lady came home and I scared the dog. He scared me barking. LOL
My mom made the coolest jack-o-lantern costume for me one year. I'm pretty sure she still has it in her garage somewhere, so I'm hoping my daughter might want to wear it when she's big enough in a few years.
It's funny, but I really don't remember any of my Halloween costumes - I just remember having a wonderful time trick-or-treating until I was about 12. That was the first year that someone put a razor blade in an apple, and trick-or-treating got scary for all of us. Never the same after that!! Thanks for the chance to win, though!
My favorite costume was a bunch of grapes. I wore black and my mom blew up purple balloons and pinned them all over me. Then she made me a felt and pipe cleaner hat that was the leaves and vines.
I was a life size (full cylinder) coke can. My mom made awesome costumes.
My favorite was one of those stupid costumes with the weird plastic mask (seriously)! The mask was white, with a curlicue on top - my sisters and I referred to it as the "ice cream mask" but years later, realized it must have been :)
My grandmother had these fabulous dresses and petticoats, and I was able to be the most amazing princess when I was 9 - she had a tiara and everything for me to borrow!
Adorable wine bag! I don't remember my favorite, but my mom's favorite was when she dressed me as a clown and put a big pillow on my butt under the costume., lol.
My fav was being a m&n peanut.
What's funny is that I'm making my 6yr. old son's Halloween costume right now. Leftover batting makes for great skeleton bones:). My favorite costume from childhood was a Pippi Longstocking homemade get-up, complete with orange sprayed hair with pipe cleaners in my braids to make them stick out straight.
My favourite costume as a little girl was a hockey player. I have 3 brothers who all played hockey and I finally got to wear all of their gear! I think about that now and that's gross and stinky...
I remember a bunny costume- a long, long time ago.
we don't really do halloween here in australia (at least not when i was growing up) but I love fancy dress parties. One of my favourite costumes was for a mask party when everyone has to wear masks, i made my mask and costume to co-ordinate in a kind paisley 60's theme. Lots of fun
I really enjoy making costumes, and several years ago I made a bugs bunny costume. It was just awesome.
Just this weekend my 32 year old son phoned me to make him a costume. I had 2 hours. So 2 ours and 20 minutes later he went out the door as Fred Flintstone, ya ba daba do.
Didn't have Hallowe'en in the UK when I was a child! However my little granddaughter looked wonderful last year aged one and three quarters dressed as a pumpkin. She looked like a fairy. Gorgeous! Great Goveaway.
Linda on travjonuk@yahoo.com
Dressing as a hippie!! Tie die shirt and bell bottoms!!
Don't have Halloween in Sri Lanka - but I do enjoy reading about it and seeing the pictures!
My favorite was Raggedy Ann - the thought of it still makes me smile.
My mom never took us trick or treating but during college I remember dressing myself like a little girl with freckels and a big lolly pop.
I don't celebrate Halloween now, but I remember when I was a child we did not have money to buy costumes. So one year my mom had graduated from nursing school a couple of ears before. She made me an angel costume using her white graduation gown. She made wings with hangers and my halo was a hanger that had been painted with gold glitter.
I loved being a witch! Scary costumes are always my favorite! Thanks for the chance to win!
Snow White. :) Thanks for the chance to win. xo
What a cute tutorial and just perfect for holiday hostess gifts! Also a great giveaway! My favorite childhood Halloween costume was sort of a strange one--I was a stalk of asparagus! I had a felt green hat and felt green shoes, and I made a green posterboard tube for the stalk. I'm not sure what inspired the idea to start with, but I had fun with it!
Thanks for the giveaway chance!
Dale evans and my brother was roy rogers. I am dating mysef!
A shiny purple unicorn costume hand made by my mom. It even won me a best costume prize!
my favorite costume as a child was going as a California Raisin with my little sister. My mom bought us over sized maroon hooded sweatshirts. We wore black tights, converse high tops, and those typical 80's colored sunglasses. My little sister and I would dance for everyone! so much fun.
One year my mom made gypsy costumes for my sister and I. The skirts were made from scraps and were super crazy and colorful. The best part, though, was the earrings. We didn't have pierced ears yet so my mom tied a piece of string to some mason jar lids and hung them around our ears. :)
My fave was a light purple and white clown outfit that my mother made.
I loved being a Hippie for Halloween - so easy... and groovy ;)
I don't remember a favorite costume but I do remember every Halloween my mom and dad had a BIG box FULL of costumes and we would always mix and match and kinda make up our own costumes!! It was always so fun!!!
One year I got to wear my mom's old nursing uniform- the white peaked hat and the white dress! She even let me wear her stethoscope. It was great!
I don't remember many legit costumes, but I did have a t-shirt that said, "I am a . . . " and then it had a list of things with a box to check which one I was. My pre-teen self thought it was pretty sassy. Thanks for the gift idea!
My sister and I used to take turns being Miss America 1928, with an old-fashioned bloomers-style bathing suit...not at all attractive...and a blond wig. I liked wearing the pageant sash over my shoulder!
Didn't do halloween as a child here in NZ, but one year there was a dress up at work and I went as a Mummy, made leggings and a t-shirt in off-white and then wrapped bandages around me with strategic hand-stitching to anchor them.
Ohmygosh, my favorite costume FOR SURE was when I went as a stoplight. My handy-engineer-cousin made me a working stoplight from a cardboard box, with buttons at my fingertips to control the lights. Brings back great memories. Thanks for the opportunity!
mmckee@wi.rr.com
There was never anything like being a princess! Thanks!
I honestly can't remember. Telling my age here. I do remember getting to buy a mask once. I did love trick-or-treating. Now that I DO remember!
My favorite Halloween costume (at the time) was dressing up as a troll doll. Now I look back in horror. Thanks for the chance to win!
Mine was The Cat in The Hat lol!!

None.
No Halloween in Germany when I was a Kid.
But we do celebrate in Germany now, started about 10 years ago. Th big difference: you only wear scary costumes for Halloween.
Greetings, tina
I've never had a Halloween costume as we don't really celebrate Halloween in Denmark
W Halloween wasn't really celebrated in England when i was little, but i loved dressing up, and i distinctly remember some silver, sparkly BIG shoes and loads of fake diamond jewellery- yuk! Ange x
We didn't celebrate Halloween in Sweden when I was a kid so I've never had such a costume.
We don't celebrate it like you do but some kids put on costumes and ring the door bell for candy.
I don't really remember a specific childhood costume--I do remember my favorite thing was to put on makeup
We didn't celebrate Halloween in the UK when I was a child but my children like to dress up - my son's favourite would be his pumpkin outfit!
Halloween is only now becoming a big deal in the UK - we would just be witches and that was it. When I saw ET I thought you Americans were completely mad!
One year I was a black cat and my mom made me a tail using a coat hanger some padding and wrapped it in black crepe paper.
We didn't celebrate Halloween but I think my favorite costume can be Witch)
I was a Black cat, with a long tail stiffened with wire,for 4 years. Then my younger sister wore it and I was a witch. I loved the cat costume and it is in my loft now.
My favorite costume and even now is a witch. I have the best hat now that I'll be wearing tonight.
I think my favorite was when I was an Angel one year. My parents put a lot of work into my wings and halo, and that's what I remember most!
I was a pirate & my older sister was a gypsy. And I only remember this because there's a picture of the two of us. We didn't buy costumes, so my mother would have created these. Thanks for the tutorial & the giveaway.
No contest - Little Red Riding Hood, my mum made me a super red cape......
I don't remember any special costumes from when I was a kid -- we usually just grabbed whatever we had around the house. Probably a scarecrow was about as fancy as we got. I made sure my son would not be able to say this when he was grown -- he had lots of elaborate costumes!
My favorite costume was probably Dolly Parton. Lol so fun.
My favorite costume was a dinosaur with a thick long tail which was completely ruined after dragging it around all night. Thanks.
Doh! I was just catching up with your last Xmas 12!
My favorite Halloween costume when I was a kid was pirate! I was one, and my twin brother was one, and our mother couldn't tell us apart! I just thought that was so fun!
Lizzie in Sweden.
We didn't do halloween when I was little, so no costumes of mine to tell you about! However, my toddler's first halloween I dressed him in a purple bat onesie, which was so cute :) Had little wings and a hood, he looked so sweet!
My favorite costume was tweety bird and sylvester. My aunt made costumes for my brother and me. They were awesome. I was Tweety and my brother was Sylvester.
It wasn't very original, but my favourite halloween costume was a witch. Black velvet cloak made by my Mum; shop bought hat; spell book (the gingerbread man covered in black paper)
When I was a child I was always dressed up as a ghost. There wasn't that much money to affort in our family (with 6 children) and a bedsheet in white would make a perfect ghost! And of course a cheap custome. I always dreamed to dress as a witch, but it never happened. I cherish my memories (and know I cherish the ghost custome; it reminds me of a great youth/childhood). lia.vandenbrand@live.nl
My best friend and I were inseparable so we made a double headed pumpkin costume using a huge 70s bed sheet!
My favorite was when I dressed as a princess. Some would say that I still dress as a princess. Ahem. Anyway, thanks for the chance to win.
I was a die (the square kind you roll), which was pretty awesome. Then one year I was a queen, complete with a replica crown made out of cardboard with plastic "crown" jewels.
My favorite costume was probably not mine but my sisters. She had a Rainbow Bright costume that she wore a few times. It was awesome!
my favourite costume was a bunny rabbit! complete with carrot :)
My grandmother always made our costumes so they were always fun and creative but I think my favorite was the pink Care Bear one that she made me when I wa about 6. I can't wait to start making costumes for my little guy!
I loved dressing up as a witch.
My mom always made us creative costumes and the most memorable was a half peeled banana :) xo
I was in a play in about 5th grade and my mom made me an old fashion dress out of calico with a big bow and it was long. I loved that dress and wore it for Halloween ~ with a big hat. It was the beginning of my love for long dresses.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I was a "big girl" with a decorated cocktail dress and heels (which turned into snowboots and a heavy winter coat on the night...we lived in northern NY.....sometimes it does snow....
I was a cat one year but when i look back i looked more like a lamb! Lol
It's traditional, but I always loved being a witch! Thanks so much!
My favorite was my ballerina costume until I outgrew it!
One of my favorites was when I was Strawberry Shortcake in preschool.
My favorite costume ever was dressing my nearly two year old boy up as a pudgy snuggly mouse. We stuck grey pom poms on the hood of a grey sweat shirt and tied the big yellow triangle from a sorting toy on a string for a piece of cheese. The painted whiskers on his face. He was adorable.
My favorite was the Wonder Woman costume I wore when I was like 3!! Thanks!!
Thank you for the tutorial for the wine bags! Love your choice of fabric!
I really don't remember many of my Halloween costumes as a child (long ago). In high school I was a baby in footed PJ's and pacifier one year.
Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway! My favorite costume was dressing as Little Red Riding Hood...the basket doubled as a trick or treating basket!
I have a really vivid memory one year of going as a tube of toothpaste and being super pleased about it. I wore my dad's white wool ribbed winter hat - that was the toothpaste cap, and I copied the Crest logo onto a white pillowcase.
Okay, so maybe it wasn't my favorite costume, but it was the one I remember the most vividly. I dressed as a devil in fourth grade and as I walked past one house, a small dog ran out and bit me on the back of my ankle. Guess he didn't like the costume! My dad went to the house, where the owners assured him they would make sure the dog couldn't get out again and bite anyone else. Dad also checked to make sure the dog had a rabies vaccination.
Favorite costume was a kitty cat (a costume for a dance class). Love your blog!
I made a spider costume one year that turned out great. I used fake fur to make a body covering, and used black tights to make 8 legs. I strung them together so 4 would hang off of each of my arms. I wore a solid black long sleeve, long leg body suit underneath and I painted my face. I sewed the entire costume by hand, because I didn't own a sewing machine. That was probably my favorite. But there have been quite a few. Halloween is by far my favorite holiday. Happy Halloween everyone!
My favorite Halloween custome was when I was 8 yrs old. I was Laura Ingalls from Little House on the Prarie. I was obessed with the TV show and with the Little House book series. I wore a long red dress with white pinafore and a bonnet and long braids. I LOVED it.
My favourite costume was always the worst witch so I could get my stripey tights out!
Thanks for the chance to win :)
It's a toss up between the princess and the clown - both costumes made by my mom!
Has to be the princess from when I was about 6 or 7...still remember it to this day.
My mom made all of my Halloween costumes so they were all pretty great. My favorite would have to be the witch costume, though.
My favorite has to be a clown. I know it doesn't sound very exciting but I thought the colorful wig was pretty much the coolest thing ever. eatkin85@yahoo.com
Here in Argentina we don't celebrate Halloween, but I used to celebrate Purim :) I'm not a big fan of costumes, but nowadays, I would dress like a rock star!
yeyioasis@yahoo.com.ar
My favorite costume as a child was a ghost. Just take an old sheet, cut a few holes, and voila! costume!
my favorite Halloween Costume was when I dressed as one of the mice in the Cinderella story. It was also my costume form my dance recital. Mom made it for me, I was 5 years old.
Great idea to use the Seven Wonders fabrics for manly gift bags.
I loved my homemade Raggedy Ann with yarn hair and baby doll lipstick cheeks!! My mom made me and my little sis matching ones ~ anartnest@gmail.com
I was a gypsy one year. I was getting too old for Halloween but my Grandma set me up with the costume. Thanks for doing a give away! Love your site!
I was red riding hood one year, with a handmade red hood and a stuffed wolf in my basket. That was my favorite and the cutest.
I only remember one costume I had growing up, and that was an old lady dress-up outfit. The Halloween party I went to had a fortune teller, and she told me that I would "get old before my time." (I guess this was based on the costume!) That little playful fortune worried me into adulthood.
i love this as a gift idea - thanks for the tutorial. My favorite costume as a majorette costume I sewed with my aunt. I even had a real baton!
Hi Jennifer! Because in Finland we don't have Halloween celebration I tell you that when we finish the school (similar than yours 'senior high school') we dress funny. We drive around the city with lorries (every class has their own) throwing candies. Lots of people goes to the centre that day to celebrate with the students. I had dressed as a witch. I had a long black gown and high heel boots from my mother. I made very high hat and had even spider on my nose. Then I had long hair with permanent and I brushed it very big. I loved that costume and still do!
Thank you for a great give away!

My family never celebrated Halloween. But we did visit my grandma's house and get homemade popcorn balls! :)
love your hexie quilt.
thanks for a chance to win.
my mom always made costumes for the 5 of us kids. but my favorite one was the princess in pinks and purples with lots of lace and pearls (fake im sure) and ruffles. mom always had my number. have a safe and happy halloween.
My favorite costume was a princess.
I don't really remember what I dressed up as a child, only that we had the coolest bags made from pillowcases & they always seemed full! As an adult, I've been a bag of jellybeans, a harlequin clown, a fairy & a black cat.
I always loved to dress up like a princess when I was little. One year my mother found costume jewelry including a tiara at a yard sale for me to use for dress up. I think every year after that I was a princess. Thanks for the chance!
what a neat gift idea thanks for sharing. my fav costume was the year I was a princess.
My favorite costume was when I ripped up a sheet into strips, and wrapped myself up like a mummy. I had a mummy mask, too.

My sister and I were witches for years in a row... I can't recall why exactly! We always had to choose something that you could fit your winter jacket under so maybe that was it.
My favorite costume was a 50's girl. My mom made a poodle skirt out of felt!
susiejohnso@gmail.com
We never really celebrated or dressed up for halloween...had I , I probably would have been an Indian or cowgirl since I was always riding horses in those days....
sowingstitches [at] yahoo [dot] com
I had one of my mom's old dresses that I loved to dress in and I liked wearing that on halloween.I could dress as a witch in it. Thanks for the giveaway.
The one that sticks out in my mind was a big bag of chocolate candy,.... maybe either explaining my love of chocolate or my weight problem. LOL!
My sister and I were MOnarch butterflies one year. We had cardboard wings made by mom and dad and we wore black leotards and a black gymnastic body suit thing and a black mask for our eyes. Pipe cleaner antenae on a headband - we looked amazing! Still the costume I remember the best to this day. I must have been 7 or 8. It snowed that night and the paint on the cardboard started to run! We had to wear jackets it was so cold!
I had one costume when I was a kid and wore it over and over every year. Cape, hat, and a really ugly witch facemask with eyeholes, nostrils, and a tiny mouth opening cut out. Then my sister wore it when she was old enough to trick-or-treat. That thing got years of use!
Thank you for the nice giveaway. Happy Halloween!
My favorite costume as a child was that of a hobo - used my father's and brother's borrowed clothes and shoes.
I have a photo of me as Raggedy Ann when I was 4 years old. My mom put a lot of work into that costume AND took the photo. I LOVE it and treasure that she made the costume for me. I also won a prize for it at the Halloween party at school.
Hi!!! My favorite costume has always been a good witch!!! Thanks for the fun!!!!
My favorite costume was the Tin Man. I guess I was 8 or 9 yrs old. I got really upset when my mother wrote Tin Mam on my costume instead of Tin Man. It's funny now but it wasn't then.
Thanks
We didn't do Halloween - no one did in Australia back then!
My favorite costume was the year (and this will really date me!) my 3 friends and I dressed up as the Beatles. We each had our favorite, mine was Paul. No one knew who we were...but we had such great fun and laughs that I still laugh about it over 40 years later!! Be especially blessed, Kathy
My favorite costume was a Geisha girl when I was about 13. My mom made me a silky red costume which I wore as a bathrobe for many, many years!
I dressed up as a clown one year and it was special because it was a costume handmade by my grandmother for my dad to wear on Halloween when he was 8. I felt special being able to wear something that had been in the family for a while.
I dressed up as a clown one year and it was special because it was a costume handmade by my grandmother for my dad to wear on Halloween when he was 8. I felt special being able to wear something that had been in the family for a while.
I think the best one was a creepy monster bug thing my gramma made for me. My dad brought home this ugly rubber monster mask and my gramma made a costume to go with it.
I don't know if it was my favorite, but my most memorable was an M&M made with cardboard and felt. I couldn't put my hand down because they were stuck through the cardboard! And I was too wide to go through some hedges.
My favorite one was when I came up with my own costume for our band's half time show. we always dressed up on Halloween. Well I didn't have a costume, so I made my own. I was the Masque of red death. I was really into edgar allen poe then.
one year i was a bag of jelly beans! i had a clear trash bag stuffed with mini balloons and it was really fun - though difficult to walk on the sidewalk next to someone. :)
My very favorite costume was a gypsy! So many colors! So festive!
Favorite costume (was in Jr. High) was a being a Farmgirl...braids, painted freckles, gingham blouse & denim skirt...and an apron...oh yeah, & a straw hat!! Loooooved it!!!
Thanks for chance to win! :)
Definitely the pumpkin and thw witch ones - I even still go as a witch to any adult Halloween parties!
My favorite costume (and only) was dressing up like my mom...complete with makeup and of course an apron..so now I continue to dress like this even if it isn't Halloween...haha!
My favorite (and only) Halloween costume was dressing up like my mom complete with makeup and an apron. To this day I still dress like that (except for church)year round!
My favourite costume was a gypsy! Thanks for the chance to win.
We didn't do Halloween as a child here in the UK, but I knitted (on a knitting machine) my daughter a black cat outfit when she was a toddler: she looked awesome
here halloween isn't popular unfortunately..!!
and my favourite outfit.. STAR WARS OUTFITS! <3
My grandparents brought home a kimono from a trip to Japan. One year my Mom let me wear it for Halloween. I'm sure the chopsticks in my RED hair was a dead give away that I wasn't Japanese! :)
My fave was a hippie, it was all homemade with old clothes found in the attic. We got to search through the cosets too and it was so much fun.
Not a big dressing up fan as a kid. I don't remember what I dressed up like, but I did borrow my grandmother's witch costume before. I think that was fifth grade and haven't dressed up since. Wow! I guess I really am not much fun!
We don't do halloween, but for Carnaval I loved my black-and-white costumevwith a dash of neon-pink!
My favorite costume was not the most original, but surely a lot of fun! I was a Vampiress! My costume was a blood red crushed velvet dress with a long black cape, a ghostly white face, crimson lips and vampire teeth. And I LOVED it! :-)Thanks so much for the chance to win some beautiful Pagoda Lullaby!!
I was very excited to wear my Kooky Spooks costume back in the day. (I had to look up the name... They were the horrible plastic costumes with the inflatable head that you wore as a hat and your body was covered with a poncho-looking contraption.) The early 80s were awesome! Thank you for the chance to win!
I had no idea what Halloween was when I was little, but if I did I think I would have been a Mermaid because I spent so much of my time swimming!
Thanks heaps, Tania.
I can't remember a favorite costume... most were random getups put together by finding and using things around the house! Thanks!
Casper the friendly ghost ! My sister was Wendy, of course !
A cat!
