Oh goodie, I Love Halloween and this sounds like a blast!
1. As a child being from Salem Mass witches were always a favorite choice. My grandmother use to sew all of our halloween costumes, and they were passed down from one sibbling to the next. I only wish I still had my favorite witch costume which she had sew giant yellow starts and moons on.
2. My favorite halloween movie: The ledgen of sleepy hollow
3.When decorating the house we usually go with giant light up pumpkins and gourds with a lot of natural vines such as bittersweet, leafs, acorns, fall sented candles(made in USA only) and mums. We also but a large siloute of a witch stirring a caldrin in one of the upper bedroom windows which is back lit, always a favorite of the neighborhood kids.
4.My favorite halloween treat would be anything chocolate or carmel apples.. However we make apple dumplings as a special halloween treat and those are pretty high on the list also!
5.True, I do crafting for halloween, but it just depends on what strikes me at the time. Usually do a lot of fall wreaths, paint fall water color paintings, gather alot of plants to dry and make them into arrangements.
Oh happy day! Farmgirl sister #1485

I'm in! Finally caught up in all my swapping and need another fix LOL.
1. My costumes as a kid were all over the place. Wore a colonial outfit my gramma made a few times, was a gypsy and a pirate and a ghoul and a witch and a princess. Even as a kid In had eclectic tastes lol.
2. My fav Halloween movie is the original Halloween.
3. My decorations through October are more all purpose autumn/Halloween, with pumpkins and cute witches, etc. But I like to get scarier for Halloween proper. I love making my evil witch laugh right before opening the door to trick and treaters - it's a laugh I have perfected through the years and gets 'em in the mood.
4. My fav Halloween treats are those old timey peanut butter kisses, sort of a taffy thing with a glob of peanut butter in the center. It has gotten real hard to find those in recent years, so if I do find them I grab them right up.
5. I love making almost all crafts and Halloween ones are no exception. I have made cards, party favors, toiletries and edibles specifically for Halloween but I also knit, crochet, tat, embroider, sew, quilt, bead, and am starting to spin.
