Pumpkin Halloween Bundle—-My favorite memory was when I was in middle school and our band director wanted us to dress up for the Halloween/fall concert. My friend and I decided to be twin pumpkins. We were not just small pretty pumpkins. No, not us! We were big humongous fabric pumpkins with the handle on the top of our heads and colored tights to match. We thought those were fun costumes, and they had taken a long time for us to create. It was a great costume for trick-or-treating, but not so much for us to sit in a chair to play flute in a middle school band concert. Somehow we managed to get our flute section realigned to fit us both, the parents and grandparents were in the audience with their big smiles, hands ready for clapping, (and probably hidden earplugs!), and the concert was a success. We won first prize (which was probably something very significant like a candy bar!), since no one else would’ve been as stupid to come with big homemade costumes like that to a band concert.

My favorite Halloween costume was one we made with our son when he was 5 years old. It was a train made out of a box, and the treats went down the smokestack! Fun memories. : ) Happy Halloween!
#2 Pumpkin Halloween Bundle…My Mom always made our costumes too. I was the youngest of six so those costumes got a lot of mileage! My favorite was a Litlle Bo Peep costume complete with a curly wig and shepherds staff:)
#2 pumpkin Halloween bundle
My favorite Halloween costume for my daughter was the one where she wanted to be a tree. Yes, a tree! I wasn’ sure how I was going to accomplish that, but after sewing many various autumnal leaves onto a brown felt nighty I made especially for this, it was starting to come together. We added a crown made from a fall garland, and she was thrilled!
Hi Patty, (bundle #1 chandelier)
My favorite memory is of my daughter and I dressing as Pink Ladies from Grease. Fun times! I loved reading about your memory of your bride costume and sharing your pictures.
My favorite costume for my daughter was a M & M that we made, she loved so much she wore every day for a week before Halloween.
Hi Patty – (bundle #2, pumpkin bundle) – When in kindergarten, our second son wanted to be Neil Diamond! Sparkly vest, black shirt & pants plus a plywood guitar = bingo! Sweet Caroline!!
I love Halloween! When my children were young we used to make so many plans about their costumes and going out to trick or treat in the neighborhood. Life was very different in those days, before all the fear and dangers that now affect all that we do. Then it was the homes that handed out goodies that were handmade – popcorn balls, caramel apples, cookies, fudge, etc. – that were the homes that every child wanted to go to for the treats. They would come home and spread out their goodies on the floor and say ”Look what I got!” and “I got one too!” if a coveted treat was in the bag. :<) I also loved and looked forward to the giving out of treats to the children and seeing their costumes or if not costumed, seeing their smiling faces when I offered them the bowl of treats (I made popcorn balls, wrapped in wax paper). I miss that so much now that I am retired and living in a security locked apartment where the only children I see on Halloween are friend's grandchildren. But I can still make and give away Halloween cards and that is great fun!
Hi Patty.
My husband’s birthday was Halloween so it was a BIG celebration in our house. I think he was 10 before he realized that the holiday wasn’t just for him. (although I am not sure he ever got over that completely). My favorite Halloween costume was the year our family dressed as crayons – my husband was a red one, my son was a blue one and I was yellow. I made them and copied the design from the popular brand of crayons. We even had pointy hats for the sharpened end.
My favorite Halloween costume as an adult was an M&M. Yep, I made two large round brown pillows and put on the white M on the front. I was sandwiched between the front and back. I even forced my husband to wear one. I’d love number one. Cheryl from CA
Bundle#2–love the pumpkin faces! My favorite Halloween times are when our grandchildren visit us at the door all dressed up ready to trick or treat! They come a little early and have homemade soup and rolls. I love their costumes. We get 3-4 hundred trick or treaters each year since we live in a safe neighborhood. Thank you for a chance to win!
Hi Patty, I have two favorite occasions to comment on-my two tiny nephews dressed in black and yellow striped shirts, little bee antlers on their heads, black tights and short pants, a little stinger on their bottoms!!! They were so cute!!! The second one was the year that my sister dressed as a nun to hand out the candy!!!!!! Talk about shock-only it was the trick or treaters’ that were shocked! I like the pumpkin set. Thanks.
The costume that comes to mind is Sat. night bath. I wore a bathrobe, shower cap and had different bath items tied to my belt. I like the Halloween Pumpkin bundle.
Randee S from Michigan
My favorite Halloween costume was Big Bird for my oldest daughter who was about 5 at the time and Cookie Monster for my younger daughter who was about 3. I handmade the costumes myself and they turned out so well and the kids were adorable. Best costumes I ever made!!
One of my favorite Halloween costumes of all time was an amazing ET costume I made that was SO realistic! My husband figured out how to make his fingertip and “heart light” light up with batteries and little lights that I could control with wires on my other hand! I wore it to the Denver Airport on Halloween to pick up a friend and it caused quite a stir! I especially loved the little children that came up to me and touched the lite finger <3 !! Another story with that costume is that years later my mother mistakenly sold it in a garage sale. I was so very sad to lose it so we posted an ad in the local paper and it said something like.."ET, phone home...." and it worked and I got it back! 🙂 It later got ruined in a storage unit 🙁
It was really one for the ages!!
I love the Pumpkin Halloween Bundle. I made a witches costume for my oldest daughter when she was in 1 st and she loved it. It won first prize at school and she got to go on the school’s float for the Halloween parade.

Bundle #2 would be my choice. My favorite costume was my grandchildren’s last year…3 year old Granddaughter as an old black engine out of cardboard complete with wheels and a coal car, accompanied by her 1 1/2 year old brother as the engineer. He wore overalls, an engineer hat(which his father wore as a kid) and blew a train whistle.

I would love to win either set!!!!My favorite thing about Halloween is watching my grandkids dress up and see the excitement in their eyes!
Bundle #2.
My favorite Halloween costume was one my mother in law made my daughter. It was Raggedy Ann and it was adorable.
Hi Patty,
My favorite memory was when my husband and I dressed up like Raggedy Ann and Andy for Halloween. We won the prize that year and had such fun dancing.
I would like to win Bundle #2, Pumpkin Halloween Bundle.
Charlene
I would just love the pumpkin bundle 🙂 We always had great fun carving pumpkins with our kiddos! My favorite Halloween costumes were when my dad dressed up as the Pink Panther in a costume that my mom made for him ! I LOVED IT!
I would dearly love to win the pumpkin bundle! I love pumpkins!
Oh and favorite Halloween costume, was my little girls beautiful witch costume, it was green and black, and she managed to scare a cow out of our back yard that no one else could get to leave, haha! I was able to catch it on camera and it’s hilarious!
I would love the Pumpkin Halloween Bundle! I have many fond memories of Halloween and Trick or Treating with my sister and friends all over our neighborhood. We never had fancy costumes (I went as a ghost more than once since it only required a white sheet & some holes).
My favorite Halloween memory is the one my dad took me trick or treating. He worked nights so, this was a rare occasion. I was dressed as a hobo. It was a rainy night. When we got home we found out there was a hole in my bag. Sad I know…but he took me out again with a different bag and we went too as many houses as we could before pour porch lights were turned out.
Bundle # 1. Happy Halloween ?
Bundle #2
Hi Party, My fav Halloween costume for myself was making a full body unicorn costume with a giant head and all and my children always had Hallelujah night alternative so I always made them Bible costumes.. my son won 1sr prize for the burnin bush ..he had the idea to put tissue paper in a straw hat with a fan so it looked like the fire was actually burning and my daughter I made a costume one year half lion and half lamb for the lion and the lamb ! Liz Jones CA
Hi, Patti. I would love to win bundle #2. I just recently realized that I don’t own any pumpkin stamp sets. How did that happen? As a child it seems that every Halloween I was a ghost. We didn’t have the luxury of going to the store and buying a ready made costume. We had to be creative and make something out of what we could find around the house. Being the youngest of 3, I got last choice. So, ghost it was. Made from an old bed sheet with eye holes cut out. Maybe not very creative, but it served the purpose.
My favorite is the Pumpkin Halloween Bundle! I made most of my daughters’ costumes for Halloween and my oldest even asked Santa for a costume! One of my favorites was a last minute Scottish girl with kilt, sash across a ruffed blouse and a homemade bagpipe out of old wooden thread spindles and a handbag!!
Hi Patty, I love bundle # 2
One of my favorite costumes that I did for my kids is when I made them a pair of dice, they were a big hit in the neighborhood!
Jane Elliott
I love bundle Two. My favorite costume was a little Dutch girl outfit my grandma made for my mom when she was little. I wore it 3 or 4 Halloween’s in a row and was terribly sad when it didn’t fit anymore. Now my 10 year old daughter wears it for dress up. She loves it too!
#1 my favorite Halloween memory is my youngest daughter’s first time trick or treating. She absolutely hated the idea of knocking on people’s doors and after the first door and she got candy, she was all excited! She would go to other houses and ask for more candy and because she was like 3 and adorable, most people gave her more. I guess they might’ve taken pity on her too because I carried most of her candy so it wouldn’t get heavy for her and people thought she had so little. I am Angel
Hi Patty, my favorite is the Pumpkin Halloween bundle! I was a waitress like “Alice” in Mel’s Diner! I was low on cash so I borrowed a friends uniform it was so much fun!
Choice 2! Thanks for this opportunity and for all the great ideas, Patty! ??
Bundle #2 is my choice. Thank you for offering it!!
My most memorable Halloween was the year I was sick on Oct 31 and could not go trick or treating with my sisters. They took my pillow case and told the people around our block I was sick and got treats for me?. Back then we only went around our block and across the street both ways to get candy. I got to see the little preschoolers costume parade around our block though!
My favorite is the pumpkin bundle! I really loved when my daughter dressed up like a nurse for Halloween when she was 8! I am a nurse and she was so cute as a little nurse!
#2 Pumpkin ?Halloween! That’s for the chance to win. I love your cards, projects and all that you share with us. Thank you!!
Hi Patty, (bundle #2) My favorite memory of Halloween is making costumes for our daughters with my Mother. She always was t here to help me with whatever I needed her for. Aren’t Mothers special? I enjoy your blog and always look forward to what you put on each day. Lois from Iowa.
Bundle #2 Pumpkin. My granddaughter was afraid of witches so she was dressed as the Faerie Queen with a wand and tiara. Oh, and ballerina tutu. She still wears the tutu around the house!
I love seeing all of the kids in their costumes every year !!
I would love Bundle #2
Becky Hanson
Love bundle #2. Fall is my favorite season. I love pumpkins! Elaine in Pensacola, FL
Bundle #1
Halloween is my all time favorite holiday?Last year I made a super cute Starbucks Frappuccino costume for my daughter. We stopped at the local Starbucks to take a picture and they even gave her a free drink to compliment the costume ?
I’m entering for bundle #1 also. That chandelier is gorgeous and the sentiments are great for multiple uses. Elaine in Pensacola, FL
Jodi in Nevada….I like bundle #2
Growing up in Australia we never really celebrated Halloween so I never dressed up as a kid and went out trick or treating. Some favorites of my daughters though is the year my almost two year old at the time was a kangaroo. So cute. Over the years being Disney fans we have had Squirt the turtle, Jessie from Toy Story, Rapuzel and Merida and Rei from Star Wars. This year the girls are going to be Sally from A Nightmare Before Christmas and a X-Wing fighter from Star Wars…I can’t wait!!
Love Bundle #2
My favorite Halloween memories were while I was teaching Kdg. and 1st grade. Back then the kiddos were allowed to wear their costumes to school and we would start the parade of costumes through all the classrooms adding on each class as we passed through.
So much fun to see that many kids in costumes all together and the creativity of their outfits!
We don’t get many Trick or Treaters in our neighborhood now and I really miss that.
Halloween was also my dad’s favorite holiday!
Libby from Oklahoma
#1
My favorite memories of Halloween are the costumes I made for my kids. My favorite, my son was Sylvester and my daughter was Tweet Bird. I have always enjoyed sewing since I was 14!
Hi! My favorite Halloween memory is of homemade popcorn balls from a neighbor! Another was a group of 10 couples dressed as pumpkins who went out on Halloween! Fun times! (Bundle 1)
Happy early Halloween and thanks for the contest. LOVE the Chandelier Halloween Bundle.
Thanks for sharing all your creative ideas with us!
Bundle 1. I loved making my sons’ halloween costumes. One year my oldest was a dinosaur and my youngest was a little devil.
Micheline from Florida.
My favorite memory is that we made our costumes from scratch. It was fun to be a Mars candy bar out of a large box!
I would love the pumpkin set!!
My favorite Halloween is from 3 years ago. Four of us dressed up in whatever and trick or treated in our retirement community. We fulfilled a bucket list item for one of the four of us! I would love to win #2
I love that Chandelier set. I don’t have a favorite costume because we didn’t really trick or treat much as children. But we always got to pas out candy and that was fun.
Lynnette CA
The pumpkin set is great cause it’s more fall than just for Halloween. I remember one year my sister’s and I got to help put together a Halloween party for a local girls home for girls with special needs. The girls had a blast and it showed how it’s better to give than to receive. I was fun to see the girls so excited and enjoying themselves.
Lynnette CA
Hi Patty! Bundle #1 is my favorite of the two.
The costume I remember most was my daughters at about 7 years old. My mom made it. She was an Indian with a papoose on her back. The baby was her cabbage patch doll!
#2. My fav costume memory was when I was a bunch of grapes. I wore black tights with a purple one piece to which we pinned purple balloons by the ends. It turned out really cute!
Bundle # 2 Please. Thank you for the offer. Favorite costume was of my sister dressed as a Vampire Ghoul. Scared all the wee little ones who came into her work place. Took weeks to put together. It was over the top! Kathryn S /Idaho
My favorite Halloween costume was the year I dressed up as Little Red Ridinghood. We had a neighbor who had an extraordinary gift of sewing. She and her husband didn’t have any children so she always liked creating things for the neighborhood children. She made a red cotton “hood”, red and white gingham skirt, and a beautiful red satin cape lined in white for me. All I needed was a white blouse and basket. I thought I was in heaven that year when I went trick or treating! I still have the hood and cape and our daughter was Little Red Ridinghood one year for Halloween too. Thank you Patty! (Halloween bundle #2)
~ Janet from PA
Bundle #2 – Pumpkin Halloween Bundle
A favorite Halloween costume was my daughter dressing up as Stephanie from Lazy Town. My daughter and my mom picked out pink fabric together and then my mom sewed her dress. That was about 12 years ago and I’m pretty sure we still have the costume stashed away somewhere.
Bundle #1
I loved when my son dressed up like cookie monster when he was in high school. He had a big one piece outfit that I think was supposed to be women’s pajamas. He looked so funny, but had the self confidence to pull it off at school.
Marnie W. NY
#1 love Halloween probably because my birthday is two days before it!!! Just finished putting up decorations inside and outside my home!! Happy Halloween!!
Bundle#2
I was one of 8 kids and my mother left things at the last day every year. While we were at school she feverishly put together our costumes. We never knew what we were going to be. Mom decided. One memorable year she made the three youngest a telephone, clock and stove out of old boxes. They were the most uncomfortable costumes but we got so many compliments. ❤️ Cheryl Casey Ohio
Chandelier bundle! So pretty! Last year I dressed up as Ralphie from “A Christmas Story” in his bunny pajamas aunt Clara made him! It got plenty of laughs!!
Hi Patty,
Pumpkin bundle #2
My most memorable Halloween was when I was 35, I was booked to go for major spine surgery( which unfortunately failed) that year in December, so my hubby decorated our whole 4 bedroomed house in Halloween theme, we had spider webs and spiders crawling down the walls, pumpkins, candles, ghouls and witches, we were a step family so had several children between us-it was magic the children loved it, but I think I loved it more, we had a party and it was awesome, obviously I was the black witch we dressed my walking stick like a crutch ha ha it was a great memorable occasion Thank you xx
I would love to win either bundle! Halloween was a favorite time of year for me when I was a child, and it’s still fun when I share it with my two granddaughters. My mother always made all of our costumes from scratch and I have a lot of memories of Halloween costumes that I loved. One favorite was a butterfly costume, which consisted of wings that were formed from wire coat hangers and colored tissue paper. It all attached with a harness and she also made me antennae on a headband. My favorite granddaughter’s costume was a unicorn my daughter made for the two year old. Thanks for the chance to win some goodies!
Whoops, forgot to say that I am in California
When I was growing up, my mom bought really good candy. After I got my bag of candy through the neighborhood, we dumped it in the bowl to give away & I got the candy mom had bought. We also had a neighbor who gave away homemade cookies. That was when life was safe for kids.
Hi Patty, putting my hat into the ring for Choice #2: Pumpkin Halloween Bundle.
One of my most memorable Halloweens was when was raining heavily that night but my children insisted on going Trick or Treating anyway. They had to wear raincoats to stay dry, but then no one could easily see their costumes!
Thanks for the opportunity to win such great items.
Either bundle would be awesome! My favorite Halloween memory was 27 years ago and we had a horrible blizzard on Halloween here in Nebraska! Everything was cancelled! My husband and I had a Halloween party for our kids that night. They dressed up, we played games and they won candy and prizes that I gathered. They still say that was their most favorite Halloween ?
My favorite costume was when I made all my kids M&M costume and I was the bag they came out of. Its sad that that was their favorite as well. We still have them, hoping one day that of of them will have children so they can wear it like they did.
Thank you, Patty! My favorite costume growing up was, i was a little lamb. With one of those lovely plastic masks! That was about 50 years ago! Yikes:/
Pumpkin Halloween bundle- My favorite Halloween memory is just how great trick-or-treating used to be when I was a kid. Everybody out on the streets together in our subdivision, dressed up and squealing with delight at each other’s costumes! We had neighbors who made homemade caramel apples and popcorn balls that were SO good.
I really love the pumpkin bundle, wish I purchased it but didn’t. I remember one Halloween that my Mom within a day made me a scarecrow by sewing crocheted squares on my pants as patches, gave me my Dads old flannel shirt and stuffed it with straw and painted my face, and put my hair in pig tails. My Mom always was the best!
How fun this is to share with others! My favorite costume I made for my Son last year was his idea….a Garbage Can :). Not like Oscar the Grouch but an actual garbage can created out of fabric and lined with garbage at the top and a hat I made from fabric and cardboard that looked like the lid! It was a hoot and he got so many laughs when people saw him coming!! It was really fun to make his idea into a reality.
I think both your blog candy selections are really awesome and I would be thrilled with either so if you pick me, I’d be happy with anything ;).
Happy Fall to you Miss Patty and thank you for a chance to win!
I think my favorite thing about Halloween when I was small we could go anywhere and our parents never had to worry that someone might harm us.
#2 the pumpkin bundle
Iowa
LOVE #2 with the pumpkins. Pumpkins are my favorite Fall Item… they last for the entire season and they bring a smile to my face. As a child, my mom and I made a Rubix Cube costume out of a box and construction paper. This was back around 1980 or so… when it was a big new item. It was very original.
Pack #1 caught my attention with the cat paper… I am the Cat Lady! <3 However, looking again at the stamp set i see that the chandelier can be used for many occasions.. how versatile that it is not just for Halloween. That would be a great set to have on hand to make some very unique cards! Another favorite costume I made with my mom was a Tube of Toothpaste lol. We took a long box for the tube and a white flower pot on my head for the hat. Back then I was AIM toothpaste... is that even around anymore? What memories of my Angel Mom.
Bundle #2 is my favorite. When I was teaching all the teachers would wear costumes. We would go out in our costumes after work. It was kind of funny the year I wore a huge pumpkin costume! We got quite a few strange looks in the restaurant.
Good evening Patty,
My favorite is #2…… My favorite costumes is ones I made my girls when they were young. I made a Raccoon and a Panda Bear out of fur…They were from a cartoon but i cant remember the name of the cartoon. I do remember the raccoons name was Ricky….. I made all their costumes back then. Mary Ann Ely, Pa
My favorite (because it was my Dad’s) was dressing up as a hobo. Because he loved putting charcoal (from a briquette) on my face. We used to use pillowcases for a treat bag. It was almost better than Christmas. My mom used to hand out to well over 100 kids back then. I love both bundles, but Bundle #2 edges out just a bit more than #1. Thank you so much for the opportunity!
Bundle #2. My crazy Halloween memory is from when I was a second grade teacher and dressed up as the mean coach from the book Miss Nelson is missing….I greeted my students acting in character in my disguise an pulled it off for awhile before all the students caught on! Linda Patti Ohio
Love them both but 1 has great sayings!
Wow…tough choice but I think #1. As far as Halloween costumes go I was never really into it. Evidently one of my cousins scared me pretty badly when I was young with his costume. My best memory is staying home and handing out our treats. That was before everything had to be factory sealed. We popped popcorn and put in in baggies with a small candy bar. I remember that the kids really appreciated it.
Forgot to tell you my favorite costume was always the gypsy. It was easy to make with stuff from around the hosue I guess as we were not exactly middle class, LOL
My favorite set , although I like them both, is #2. My favorite costume for my granddaughter is Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz at age 5. Oh! Those ruby red slippers, little Toto in the basket and those precious braids! It just doesn’t get much cuter! Thank you for this chance to win! I love your blog! Barb E~ OHIO
Halloween Bundle two! My favorite Halloween memory is when I made my son’s dragon costume. I made the tail just a little too long. When we went trick or treating, he walked holding his tail so it wouldn’t get dirty. He loved the costume so much and worried that the tail would be ruined. So he held his tail with one hand and my hand in the other while I held his treat bag. It was so much fun and he was so cute. I may not have pictures of us walking along, but it is one of my favorite memories.
Bundle #2 My favorite Halloween memory is when my mother made me a gypsy costume–a full skirt with yards and yards of different color rick rack and a black velvet vest over a sheer loose sleeve blouse– and I got to wear all her costume jewelry!
My favorite bundle is Choice # 1. I see that one person commented that her favorite costume was Little Bo Peep. How funny because mine was also. My Mother always made our costumes. I don’t know how she did it because we hung our clothes on a clothesline, didn’t have a microwave, and she ironed every piece of clothing! I loved that little outfit and many years ago it was still wearable so I passed it along to my oldest daughter and her girls have since worn it. We had to make a few repairs but it was still cute. Weren’t we blessed to have mothers who took such an interest in us!
My favorite Halloween memory is going to the neighbor across the road to get a homemade Carmel apple
My favorite bundle set is #2
Thanks
Hi, Patty; My favorite Halloween memory was when my family had just moved to a new town and my first day at school we had to wear costumes. No one knew who I was….and of course I didn’t know who any one was either. We were to guess the names of each student. The teacher didn’t think it was fair that I win since I was new. I guess she had a good laugh on her students.
I would like to win bundle #2. Thank you for the opportunity.
Barb Y. from Kansas
Being a Charlston dancer was my favorite childhood costume. I wore a blonde wig, a fringed dress, pearls and heels. I got to hold a long cigarette holder. I thought I was the cat’s meow! My mom even showed me how to do the Charlston (dance ). It was a long time ago, but I remember it well.
My favorite bundle is #2 The Pumpkin Stamps.
Being a scarecrow as a child one year was tons of fun. Love your videos as I always seem to learn something new each time.
Would love the Chandelier bundle. . . . . . so pretty

Bundle 2 please.
My favorite memory is when my son wanted to be a pirate and all he could say was arrrrrrh……omg I did get tired of asking what do pirate”s say. LOL
Karen from Ohio
My favorite bundle is #2 – Favorite Halloween memories are the church Halloween parties we had. Such a blast!
I love the #2 set the Halloween Pumpkins Set!
I enjoyed your Halloween bridal story so much!
FUNNY STORY: My daughter-in-law wanted to make a costume for my granddaughter for Halloween. My granddaughter and her friend decided to go as Pooh Bear and Piglet. My granddaughter is tiny so she needed a Piglet costume and her tall friend was going as Pooh Bear. My daughter-in-law finished the Piglet costume and my granddaughter tried it on. (She and her friend were in middle school at the time.) She came out of her room wailing, “I look fat in this costume!” My daughter-in-law calmly said, “Well, you’re a PIG!”
Chandelier Bundle-when I lived in England we had a big Halloween celebration complete with art contests, costume contests and of course, trick or treating! My mom made me a costume of a clown (a nice one!) named Perot (pronounced P-yer-o). She wears all white, with a black cap, and her face is white with a heart on one cheek and a tear on the other. I loved that costume, and I won my age level for the costume contest! Jennifer H from MD.
Bundle #2: Pumpkin Halloween Bundle
When my siblings and I were young, my mom sewed four Halloween costumes: a witch, a clown, a bunny and a scarecrow. Every year at Halloween, we would pull out the box and choose a costume! When we came home from trick or treat, my dad would have us pour out all our candy so he could “inspect” it – i.e. take what candy he wanted!!
Joanne, pumpkin stamp set. My favorite was my twin grandson’s; they were R2D2 and CP3O. Dad was Darth Vader and Mom Patma. I’m in California
Season to Sparkle, I missed ordering this set. Please enter me in your Blog Candy prize.
Bundle #2: Pumpkin Halloween Bundle
My favorite Halloween costume was one I made for my son when he was in kindergarten. He was enamored at the time with anything about space travel so I made him an astronaut costume complete with helmet, oxygen, silver boots. He wanted to wear it everywhere! It was a sad day when he could no longer wear it.
Jane in Tennessee
#2 Pumpkin Halloween bundle
Favorite memories of Halloween have been being part of a “group costume “ . We have all been friends for years & have added our spouses to the fun times. We have gone as the solar system, survivors of the Titanic, cast members of SNL, minions, Star Wars, wizard of oz, toy story, and this year we will dress as emojis.
Ann L. from Michigan
I would love the Pumpkin Halloween bundle. My favorite Halloween memory was when my work had a costume contest. I made a witch’s costume, complete with pointed hat. I had braided my hair in tiny braids the night before, so when I undid the braids, my hair looked really wild. I also painted my face green, with red rimmed eyes, black lipstick, and black nail polish. I was driving to work and came up behind a beer truck. The driver glanced in his outside mirror, and literally did a double take!
Pumpkin bundle please. Favorite costume was make by my Aunt Nomiko. It was a Little BoPeep Costume with the cutest hat and crook to control all the sheep. Fun memories, probably the only “made” costume I had, the rest tended to be thrown-together creations.
Bundle #2 would be my pick. As a young child age 5 I wanted to be a bunch of grapes!!
So, my older sister and mother bought purple felt and cut circles stuffed them the sewed all together!
Best costume ever!!
Thank you for a chance to win!
#2 Pumpkin Halloween
My favorite costume was a light blue princess gown sewn by my mother. We didn’t have enough money for a crown so I wore flowers in my hair.
Beth from Ohio
The Chandelier Halloween bundle would be fun! One year, my friend’s children’s school had a Halloween festival, and everyone was encouraged to wear a costume. I went as a barefooted gypsy, with a tiered gathered skirt, peasant blouse, lots of gold chains and bangle bracelets, huge hoop earrings, and carried a tambourine. We had a great time at the festival!
My aunt ( my moms younger sister) is a great seamstress and she always made our costumes. We didn’t have much but she always found a way to create something amazing. When the pickings were slim, my sisters and I went as gypsies! But hey, we were the coolest looking gypsies on the block!!!
My favorite memory of Halloween was when I, as an adult, dressed as a clown. I used very old clothes of my husband making sure they were horribly mismatched colors and designs. At first I thought I looked very foolish but in time, I actually started feeling happier. Could it have been the costume that made me so giddy? Actually, I feel happier just thinking about it! I would love to receive #2 package.
Oops! Forgot to tell you my bundle pick. Halloween Chandelier!
One of my favorite costumes were the one my grandson wore when he was a year old. He was an elephant because he knew I loved elephants. My favorite bundle is the pumpkins. I wanted it when it was retired and missed it. I hope I can win it here!, I love your creations Patty. And thanks for your organization tips. I finally have my office back because of your inspiration!! Inky hugs, Terry ~~

Dating myself, but we would dress up as gypsies, hippies or hobos. We would go around the neighborhood, and as soon as our bags were full enough we would go home to empty them. Then we would go right back out again. One of the ladies on our street would make popcorn balls and we always went there first.
Happy Halloween! I like Bundle #2.
Oh my goodness I would soo love to win the #1 Chandelier stamp set! My favorite Halloween costume as a child? Hmmmm? I would have to say the Casper the friendly ghost one! Where you wore the cheapy front face mask with the over the clothes cheapy plastic outfit! Ah yes! Those were the days! LOL!! I honestly really didn’t have that many different outfits as a child for Halloween! I really only remember being Casper, and a clown which my mom handmade for me that I wore for many years! My parents didn’t believe in buying a different costume for each year! Such a sad life! I was soooo deprived! Don’t ya think! haha!!
Halloween Bundle#2
The most memorable costume I’ve made is Tweety Bird. My oldest child is quite shy and was apprehensive about “dressing up”. Being Tweety Bird allowed him to be completely anonymous because the head piece stayed firmly upright and he looked out the mouth. The body was yellow fur and he even wore yellow tights. He ended up having a great Halloween.
Pumpkin bundle 2. My most fun time I had in a costume was wearing an old man full mask with a ring of long grey hair, long underwear, plaid man’s robe, slippers and hobbling with a cane. No one knew I was the dirty ole man hobbling around. Won $50 prize in the community contest.
Party, your Halloween story and page layout is really sweet! I always dressed as a hobo, so I could just wear my own clothes (never did like costumes),. A few patches sewed on a pair of jeans and flannel shirt, a touch of mascara smeared on my face to look like dirt, an old hat and I was set! I love bundle #2. Those pumpkins drive me wild!
This is such a fun activity. Thanks Patty!
My favorite costume was made by a friend and it is a Minnie Mouse complete with a fur head piece. She made a Mickey for my husband and a small Minnie for our daughter. My friend has since passed, but I still wear the costume. My 11 grandchildren love it.
My favorite bundle is the pumpkins as we always decorate with them.
Hi Patty, my favorite (and really only) costume was a Harem Dancer. My mom would make my costome every year. My hat she would cut out of cardboard and then cover in tin foil and glue rhinestones on it and my brothers and I would hit the road. My one brother was for years a mummy and mom would rip up an old sheet and wrap him from head to toe. We would be out trick or treating when he would say he had to go to the bathroom. My other brother and I told him too bad we aren’t stopping so either hold it or go home. We lived on an air force base so there was a lot of homes to hit. And in those days everyone gave out candy. Its sad that so many don’t do it now. If you draw me I would like bundle #2.
Hi Patty, One of my favorite Halloween memories is when I was working as a cashier at a local department store here in our area, and we were called upon to dress in costume for Halloween; my family also has a costume party for all the grown ups in our family. That particular Halloween I dressed up for work and for our family party in a royal blue poodle skirt and white blouse; my Mother who passed away only a few months later as a result of bladder cancer, helped me make my poodle skirt. My outfit was was completed with saddle oxfords, bobby socks, and a letter jacket; and I wore my hair up in a teenage ponytail and with a bow in my hair . It was quite fun to be honest.
Patty if you draw my name for one of the stamp sets, I think I would prefer set#2, the Pumpkin Halloween bundle. Thank you very kindly,
Happy Halloween! The Goblins will get ya if you don’t watch out! lol:))))
Love bundle 2! Honestly I never had a good Halloween experience until this year. Now that I am further along in my life I have grown to like Halloween. But I think my favorite Halloween memory was when I was little. A bunch of the neighborhood kids were playing the ghost in the graveyard, I injured myself that night and ended up having to get stitches. It was so cool and it was my first scar, which made me feel badass.
In 7th grade we had a Halloween costume dance and my mom made me a bee costume! I actually won!!! It was SO much fun! My favorite blog candy is #2 the pumpkin set?I love it!! Thank you as always for all the fun cards and projects you share!
I’ll take either bundle – thank you so much for the opportunity to win such great prizes!
My most memorable memory of Halloween has to been when I was a kid in Fort Polk, LA, back in 1978 or 1979. I don’t remember what my brothers and I wore that night but I remember walking around the Army base and having so much fun!
-Rubina from Texas
I like the pumpkin bundle. My favorite Halloween was when my year old grandson was in a chicken costume. He was adorable!
My favorite costume I made my daughter was a grey furry bunny costume. It had a good with cute bunny ears, fluffy cotton tail and a carrot pinned on her. She loved it and wanted to sleep in it.
I forgot to put I like #2 Pumpkin Holloween bundle
Pumpkin Halloween
My favorite memory was the time that we moved to Eugene. The house that we rented had an intercom. My dad had chained and banged a pan. Our boxer was at the door, too. We heard people talking about the house on the corner! This was also the last year that I was a witch since I got my tush long hair cut to a pixie a few months later. There went all the kinky hair that had always been in a braid.
My favorite costumes are my gypsy costumes that my children wore. Thanks from Michigan!
Bundle #2! My favorite memory is my children in gypsy costumes. Thank you from Michigan.
I’d love #2 Pumpkin Halloween bundle. Years ago my husband and I went to a Halloween party dressed as a priest and a pregnant nun. I was a bit embarrassed at the costumes but we did win 1st prize.
Love the Treat, but oh no, the Trick is how to win. TY for offering to us these wonderful opportunities to win fabulous Stampin Up items.
Bonjour, je souhaite participer mais j’habite en France, donc je ne sais pas si tu acceptes ?
Pour moi, c’est ma fille en sorcière, elle avait 11 ans. Il a fallut que je lui réalise son déguisement et surtout créper ses cheveux. Bonne journée et à bientôt
Halloween bundle #1 my favorite memory is the first time I took my oldest daughter trick or treating. She was a a bumble bee and she was so adorable with her little rosy chubby Chelsea peeking out. We walked all over the neighborhood, well I walked she ride in the stroller but it was so much fun. Hard to believe she is now 16! Thanks for chance to win.

Halloween bundle #2. My second favorite memory is when my second daughter came along and the first time I took both of my girls trick or treating, we had to take a wagon as they both wanted to keep going but their tiny legs gave out. So I pulled them around the neighborhood with two of them giggling and saying more mommy more. I miss those days! But I have wonderful memories and when I look at the two of them, 14 and 16 now, I still see those little girls all excited about going trick or treating. Funny thing it wasn’t even candy, but dressing up and walking around, the bonfires and being together that excited them. Thanks for chance to win and bringing back memories. Susan B. Camden, DE
I wanted the Pumpkin Halloween set when it was offered but couldn’t swing it…love that detailed pumpkin frame lit!
I would love love love to win the Halloween Pumpkin bundle. It is so very very cute and I could make so many cute cards with it.

Hey, Patty. Most definitely Bundle #2, ’cause I missed buying the Pick A Pumpkin Bundle, I know, very sad… My favorite memories are the Pumpkin costume I made for my Granddaughter when she was two and the Dorothy costume when she was three, she was so proud in her blue gingham dress and red slippers. My favorite part of Halloween is the little kids all dressed up in their costumes, even the ones that are so scary it makes me scream!!! Thank you for sharing your gift of inspiration with us every day.
The pumpkin Halloween Bundle would be my pick. I always loved Halloween. My favorite costume would have to be when I dressed as a ballerina. I felt like a princess. The only drawback was that mom made us wear our winter coats over our costumes. It might have been because it was 35 degrees or so in Kentucky most Halloween’s.
Martha Danville, KY
I would like the Pumpkin Halloween Bendle if I win. My favorite Halloween memory is my grandkids costumes one year when they were a Lego character and Cabbage Patch Kids. So darn cute! Thanks for the chance to win these goodies?
How very generous of you, Patty. Thanks for the chance at winning either of these great bundles. I’d prefer #2 but nothing wrong with #1 either. My favorite costumes were the year my children were the Princess and the Frog. They were adorable in their completely hand.made costumes. (Kathy Beemer from Michigan)
Bundle number 1. Shirley from east bay California. I had seven siblings so my parents could not afford store bought costumes. My mom saved worn out bed sheets and cut out holes for the eyes – seven friendly ghosts!
Hi Patty,
Had so many different costumes. My favorite was Raggedy Ann. I made all my children’s costumes, another favorite was a adorable Clown. My son loved Zorro too, haahaha !!
Love #2 Halloween. Thanks.
Halloween Pumpkin Bundle- I hated the kids always eating all that candy! But I let them go out anyway and one HAlloween when they were about 10 &12 some high school kids stole their candy. They were so mad and under my breath I was laughing and happy! I felt like a terrible mom but their teeth praised me…
I loved my Winnie the Pooh costume with the honey pot. Now days I wouldn’t need quite as much padding to make it work. Thanks for offering blog candy. I would love the Pumpkin Halloween bundle.
I love choice number 1 the chandelier set. My daughter loves Halloween and I make cards for her every year to give to friends. Hope I win thanks Patty.
Sandee
The chandelier bundle!! my mom always had me dress as a boy using my brothers hand me downs so i looked pretty ratty. My friend had a mother who sewed and she would be dressed as a princess or other beautiful character!!
It’s sad to say but I don’t remember any of my costumes. I do remember helping to make the candied apples we’d give out. Oh the delicious caramel – YUM! I would like Choice #2 the Pumpkin Bundle if I’m lucky enough to win.
Jaycee from Maryland
Would love to win the Pumpkin Bundle!!
My favorite Halloween costumes were when I dressed up both my children as Raggedy Ann & Andy. They were so adorable!
My favorite Halloween memory is always the current one (in a couple weeks) because I look forward to seeing the grandkids in their costumes. I would love bundle #2. Linda from Illinois
#2 Halloween Pumpkins Set would also be lots of fun. Truthfully, I love almost all Stampin Up sets so any gift of any set would be awesome!
Another of my favorite Halloween costumes was when I dressed each of my daughters in a Western theme. One was a cowgirl and the other an Indian princess. The Indian princess was the youngest, but she managed to tie her sister who was 4 years old to a tree in the front yard and we had to rescue her1 Love my babies!

bundle number 2 my favorite Halloween memory was making a bright green and hot pink dinosaur costume. oh we used it for years and passed it on
#2 Pumpkins
One year my son decided he wanted to be an American flag for Halloween. Of course I only had a few days to come up with a costume and no idea how to do it. It actually turned out pretty good and it was his favorite costume.
Bundle #2 pumpkins would be my choice. I remember as a child my dad would dress up and fill a rubber glove with ice water. The kids would have to shake his hand to get a treat – it was so funny to watch their reactions to the cold wet hand! I’m going to enjoy seeing my little grandson be a ninja turtle this year! Beth in NC
Oh Patty, I would be so happy with either bundle. I think the Pumpkin Bundle is my favorite. I remember two costumes that I won prizes for as a kid. The first one I was a tree. I found a big branch out in the woods near our house. I dragged it home and made leaves of many colors out of paper. I held the branch on with belts. I had brown pants & a green shirt. What fun it was. The other was a pipe organ. I got boxes from the grocery store & taped them together & then painted to look like an organ. The pipes were cardboard tubes covered with foil. I don’t know how I wore either one for the whole day at school, but I did. What happy memories. Hadn’t though of those for alot of years!!! Thanks for the memories & the chance to win blog candy too!!!
Hi Patty…This is Sandy from Lodi, CA. Thanks for the opportunity to win some great Halloween stamp sets. I’ll be happy to give that beautiful Chandeler a nice home. When my Son was little he inherited his Nephew’s Dinosaur costume. He loved it so much he wore it for about three years to Trick or Treat in, and then every day after Halloween for about two weeks each year. It sure made the first few Halloween’s easy for me!
Chandelier bundle! Missouri. When I was in high school, myself and three other friends dressed as Fruit of the Loom. I was purple grages!
Bundle #2 would be my first choice. thank you so much for all that you share and the chance to win one of these great bundles. One of my favorite costumes was wearing a formal with a very large hoop holding the skirt out. I didn’t think I could get in the car but the hoop just folded down and was easy to sit in the car. I had so much fun dancing in that costume too. Thanks again!
Hi Patty bundle #2, pumpkin bundle would really be nice to win.
My favorite Halloween costume is one that my granddaughter asked me to make for her. It was Cinderella, and made with soft taffeta in a bright pink, per her request. I made it longer than it needed to be so, she could also wear it the next year.
She ended up wanted to wear it for 3 years, and even played dress up with it.
I appreciate the opportunity to have a chance to win some goodies.
I live in Oregon
I would be happy winning either set although the pumpkin set is my favorite. I grew up in a small New England town. A lady on one side of town made popcorn balls (I think there was molasses in the mixture) they were delicious. One year we got there early and patiently sat on her porch while she finished them. I think we were afraid she would run out of them if we left and came back later.
Hi Patty, well I wish I could remember,LOL, a favorite costume, but I can’t. 🙁 I was a ghost one year wearing a white pillow case, not very creative. It just wasn’t a big deal n our house…anyway…I’d love to win bundle #2. Thanks!
I like bundle #2, the Halloween Pumpkin bundle. My favorite Halloween costume was an orange pumpkin costume. I wore it several years. My mom stuffed the costume with crumpled up newspaper to give it a full, round shape. Walking in it was a rather interesting feat, lol!
My favorite costume was the year I went in a graduation robe, witch’s hat and carried a long-handled paint brush I used as a magic wand. I knew I was Prof. McGonagall, but I’m not sure how everybody else knew. LOL!
I would love to win the chandelier bundle. Love the cat paper, too.

Hello Patty!
Option #2 – Pumpkin Hallowen Bundle is my choice.
It is so hard to choose just one favorite Halloween costume! When I was in middle school, I made my own costume and dressed up as a Native American. I sewed two Canon bath towels together, braided some leather strips for my belt, wore a pair of moccasins slippers, braided my hair and added a headband with feathers! I thought I was pretty clever.
I have also made some pretty amazing costumes for my children and grand daughters including a duck, a frog, two dragons, super heroes, a penguin and Tinker Bell! I love HALLOWEEN and dressing up.
Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great prize!
Hi Patty! Your so much fun! I love the #2 bundle. My fav. Memory was a costume I made for my son when he was 3. I made it out of a sheet and a black marker. The cutiest little cow you ever seen! My little mooo mooo. My son is 27 now! Wish I could show you a picture. I loved reading everyone’s!
Favorite Halloween costume were when we took our two children trick or treating for the first time. One dressed as a witch, the other as a pirate. Would like the pumpkin bundle, but would take the other if I won it. Love your site. M. Ann from eastern shore of Md.
Hi, Patti: I would love the Pumpkin Halloween Bundle – thanks so much for offering these great blog candy opportunities! My favorite costume as a child was the year my mom actually cut up some old white sheets – and then added mysterious designs to my ghost costume using glue and glitter. So old school, but so much fun! Plus, I could wear my coat under the sheet and not obscure my costume.
I’m hoping to win #2 – The Pumpkins!
I don’t have a particular Halloween in mind – but I do answer my door to all our little Trick or Treaters in a different costume every year. I enjoy the looks on the little ones when they see a witch, devil, bunny rabbit or a goofy bird answer the door & hand out candy. I don’t think they know exactly what to think……they hardly notice the candy going into their little pumpkins or bags. Have a Spooky Halloween.
My favorite bundle is #2 with the pumpkins. My favorite Halloween is when our son was a few months old and we dressed him as a Dalmation dog, complete with the black spots drawn on his little face! So adorable! We called him the 102nd Dalmation. 🙂
Thank you so much for this great blog candy giveaway, Patty! You are awesome! Happy Halloween!!
Entering for Bundle #1:
Patty, you have a son near the age of my son, so you may remember The Teletubbies. Well, my son dressed up as the big purple one, called Tinky Winky. We took him trick-or-treating, and when we got to the first home’s door, instead of saying, “Trick-or-treat,” he hollered, “Open the door! It’s me, Tinky Winky!” We laughed and laughed, and he got a LOT of candy! Thank you for the wonderful giveaways! Happy Fall!!!! 🙂
Bundle #2, My favorite memory is when my family dressed as the characters from Toy Story, Papaw even got into the act by dressing as Stinky Pete, wasn’t too much of a stretch for him. He already had everything. I made Jessie’s chaps for my daughter, and our son was Woody and the grands filled out the rest of the characters.
I always loved Halloween so because of that, I made both of our daughters costumes every year, and loved every minute of it!
I forgot to pick which blog candy
I pick #2 please.
#1 – The chandelier –
I loved when my grandkids were dressed up as a monkey and banana. They were so cute!
My grandson was 2 at the time and he was the monkey while my 5 month old granddaughter was the banana.
Thank you so much for this opportunity. I love your blog!

Patty, how clever of you. I believe we all love remembering the fun times from our days of trick oe treating. Mom was so talented at creating costumes for my brother and I. My most memorable was the year she created a long beard and hair from crepe paper for my brother dressing as a moon shiner. No one recognized him. Also, in my trick or treat days, we used pillow cases to collect our treats. No one had the idea of making fun pails and bags. While I’m revisiting past fun Halloween’s, my dad drew a face on a brown garbage bag, one year, and tricked the elderly couple next door. They loved it! And, him!
Thanks for the opportunity to share these happy memories and hear other stories.
Shirley Milkavich….oh, bundle #1
Bundle #2 would be my choice. One of my favorite Halloween memories is dressing my son Thomas in a purchased Thomas the Tank Engine outfit. He wore the tank so awkwardly!! Fun times!!
Jettie in Virginia
Bundle #2 My favorite Halloween costume was an Elmo costume my son wore on his second Halloween. He wore the fuzzy red suit and my husband wore the Elmo face because my son was not wearing it!
