Once again, it's time for the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival!
If you're a new reader, why, welcome!
If you're a regular reader, holla.
I'll keep it short and simple. Since it was such a hit last time, I'm giving away another $5 gift card to Starbucks.
The rules are as follows:
To enter, leave me a comment, only one, with your favorite/most memorable Halloween costume. (It can be one you wore or one your kids have worn!)
I'll close comments Saturday, November 1st at 10:00 p.m. and draw a winner that night.
I'll notify the winner via email or a comment on your blog (if you have one). If you are a blogger, PLEASE be sure that your profile is set to public. If you aren't a blogger, please be sure to leave an email address. If I can't contact you, or if I don't hear back from you within 2 days, I'll have to draw another winner.
***Edited to add - You must have a U.S. mailing address to enter. Thanks!***
If you do leave a comment like, "pick me!" or "I love Starbucks!", I will delete your comment.
If you do not leave a way for me to contact you, in case you're the chosen winner, I will delete your comment.
If you leave multiple comments, I will delete the extras.
Ok, I think that's it. Oh! Remember to check back here frequently. There will be new giveaways up each day and the later they post, the fewer people will enter, which means the higher likelihood you have of winning, yea!

My favorite costume was my daughters first year costume. She was a ladybug and it was just so cute.
oh I'm loving these starbucks ones. I'm going to say the maiden outfit I made for my daughter when she was three. First costume ever made and it turned out beautiful, never been able to do it again though.
best costume ever was when I went as the flying nun. I cannot imagine how my mom got the hat(sorry I don't know the real name of it!) to do what it had to do! :-)
I dressed up as little bo peep and i loved that costum. Thank you for the chance to win.

This is so sad, but the only costume I remember was when I was a ballerina and my mom made me a tutu. It was the thinnest, most un-floofy tutu anybody ever saw!
I just finished making a fairy costume (with tutu!) for my girl... it's probably the floofiest tutu ever. She actually complained that it was too fluffy!
In 4th grade I just had to dress up as a punk rocker. I had the crimped hair, ripped, bleached jeans, tie died shirt with fringe at the bottom...I also begged my aunt to lend me her silver VERY HEAVY, lightning bolt earrings that dangled down to my houlder. She finally gave in...They were so heavy that they stretched out my piercing hole and to this day I can not wear small stud type earrings in my left ear or they just pull right through and I lose them...oh the things we do as kids just to look cool!!
Thanks!

I was Wonder Woman when I was a kid - WW bathing suit, boots, crown, rope - the whole works!
a princess costume my mom sewed for me when we didn't have a lot of $
Ahh...I was waiting for someone to ask this question. When my daughter was 3, she was hooked on Veggie Tales. So I made her a Bob the tomato costume. I had to stuff it so full of plastic grocery sacks that we had a dickens of finding a way for her to even sit down!
Thanks

We do not celebrate Halloween now, but we did when I was little. The only costume I remember was a witch. I had a wig out of black yarn and a great black pointed hat. Thanks!!
I was Pink Ranger one Halloween. I was SO excited about that. My mom also dressed my brother and I up as California Raisins when we were little, how can I forget wearing a plastic garbage bag and sunglasses the whole evening?

My most memorable costume was a butterfly costume my mom made when I was about 8. I remember it had these big wings that my mom decorated and I had to walk through all the doorways sideways to fit. I won for best costume at school and the skating rink!

When I was little, I dressed up as a geisha, complete with kimono, face paint, updo, and wooden shoes. :)
I made a Vampire outfit for my grandson one year. It was black satin with a red lining. It looked so sharp. It cost far more than buying something ready made but it sure was cute.
When I was a kid my favorite doll was a 4ft raggedy ann. One year my mom dresed me in raggedy's dress and put red lipstick on my cheeks and drew on the big black eyelashes she has and we made a wig out of reg yarn. It was such a cute costume.

I went as a mermaid and it was so unbelievably cold.
This year, my husband and I, and all of our boys dressed up as Pokemon Characters, it was so fun that we all matched, I think it will definitely be our most memorable Halloween yet!

My favorite was a lamb... I had soft fur and I was really young. I loved the ears on that outfit too!

When my first son was almost 2 we decided at the last minute to take Tricker treating. We didn't have a lot of money so my sister and I put him in blue sweat pants and onesie. Than cut an m out of sticky felt and put on a blue sweatshirt. Then we put the sweatshirt on him and stuffed him with fiberfill between the 2 shirts. He looks so cute. I will never forget my homemade blue M&M

I made a clown outfit for my 2 year old and he looked so cute. He won first place at our firehouse. I still have fond memories of that night and hoe adorable he looked
My sons dressed as Ninja Turtles. They were so cute!
My most memorable was when I was chosen (I was high school back then) to go around the mall modeling a halloween costume for a new shop that had just opened up. I was a genie..and it was an awesome costume. Actually come to think of it, it was the last time I dressed up for Halloween.. but it really stands out cause it was such a great costume.

One year I went as Kid Rock and my husband went as Pamela Anderson. (That was back when they were a couple.) I had to find ladies size 12 shoes for hubby - they were red patent heels with a zipper on the side! Thanks for the giveaway!
I had the best costumes growing up. My parents always made them for me so that they were truly one of a kind. My favorites include a penguin and a cow, both outfits my mother sewed and created a paper mache head. Oh i was also a hershey kiss and won first prize in a costume contest that year. It was heavy as all get out though.
My most memorable costume is when I dressed up as Mother Goose. I think I was in the 5th grade. Everybody thought it was great.

Haha I dressed up with a Ronald Reagan mask that my Stepdad had gotten from someone as a joke. I also dressed to look like a boy. Kind of embarrassing lol
I can't think of my own memorable costume.... but I did make my eldest a Kateri Tekakweetha (sp) costume that won her a prize
One year I made my own bat costume and went as a vampire/bat. I was SO proud that I'd learned to sew and that I made it myself!!

My daughter was Pippi Longstocking a couple years ago and it was adorable! The kids had no idea who she was, but EVERY adult knew before she even got to their doors. LOL!

I love Starbucks.
The most memorable Halloween costume for me is actually a toss up. My grandmother was an excellent seamstress and made most of our costumes. One my sister wore when we were little was a mermaid costume, and it was made so that it was tight at her ankles so she had to waddle to walk. The tail stuck out at the very bottom so that as she waddled the tail swished. Then there was one she made for me - I was barely a teenager and just starting to get "curves." The costume was a Broadway/top hat dancer - with the fishnet stockings, short black shorts, tuxedo jacket and a white ruffled shirt, paired with a black top hat and black high heels. I felt SO sexy! :)
i'm a teacher and i dress up every year for various events. things like spirit week for home coming, red ribbon week, and halloween. faculty and kids come to check out what i'm wearing. pretty fun. my most memorable for everyone was when i dressed like a cow. people still talk about it. imagine your teacher talking about how to create a spreadsheet in excel dressed like a cow
My son decided to be Charlie Chaplin after we watched a lot of the old films...he looked great, got a perfect jacket and cane from thrift store, hat and moustache were cute, parents and grandparents giving out candy loved the costume and knew exactly who he was (he did the walk too).
