1 – 200 of 266 Newer› Newest»please enter me! my family never celebrate halloween but i did dress up once as Laura Ingalls Wilder for our story character parade
I am craving a White Chocolate Mocha right now, so you enticed me to enter!
In first grade mom dressed me as Little Red Riding Hood. I had the little red cape, black stockings, black shoes and basket. On dress up day at school my teacher asked me, “Where is your pitchfork?” She thought that I was the devil (along with everyone else that saw me!)
oops that ANONY person is me!
I think I was a witch with a green face for a few years in a row.
One year, I found the coolest 60's style dress in my aunt's attic. It was her daughter's old dress, I begged her to lend it to me. I bought an "afro" wig, and was a "flower child." It was cool and different. I still remember it. I've got a photo around here somewhere...
I was once Mother Goose- my legs were the goose legs, a box was the goose, and then stockings dangled over the side as Mother Goose's legs. Another year I was the upside down lady. MY father was a genius with costumes.
I dressed up as an Indian (I mean, Native American) one year. My mom made the costume and all the jewelry. It was fun!
My mouth is watering right now for a White Chocolate Mocha...
I was Tinkerbell. Definitely my favorite costume!
totally inappropriate...last year, i was a pregnant prom queen. sash and all. we were with really good friends otherwise...well, i wouldn't have done it.
if you send me your email, i'll email you a pic. i.was.hot.
fun contest!! i might do it, too!
I would have to say a cheerleading outfit when I was little. :)
Please enter me - my most memorable Halloween costume was when I dressed up as a pumpkin as a little kid. I loved painting my face orange!
hmm well my family didn't really trick or treat growing up-we went to reformation day parties at church instead.hehe SO, I'll have to say that being Mary with baby Jesus as my doll was my most memorable. OR our Fresh year of college we went in barb's neighborhood and I was a Charlie's Angel. :)
mmm a pumpkin spice latte would be soo nice about now....
My favorite custome was a year that I went as A mad scientist. I had so much fun putting my costume together.
Thanks for the chance.
In kindergarten my mom made me a Rainbow Brite costume! It was the greatest! I'll never forget, there was another girl in my class wearing one that her mom bought and it did not even compare to mine. I still feel so much pride when I look at pictures from that Halloween.
Years ago when my son was about five, he was a tiger, in a costume made by his aunt. It was the cutest thing you could imagine.
I've never actually dressed up for Halloween, but for a costume party at our church one year my parents dressed me up as Babylon (Baby Lon).
We don't celebrate Halloween...but I would love to enter if I'm still allowed. Thanks
My favourite costume was when I made a washing machine out of an old box in grade 8. However I was really bad that year and got grounded for Hallowe'en (yes it was totally deserved!). So I never had a chance to wear it. It still goes down as my favourite costume though.
I loved dressing up as a witch with a green face and no one could recognize me.

My favorite would have to be last year when we got some friends and their kids together. They all pretty much screamed when we sat them on the couch for their picture, but it was fun!
Last year my newborn baby was snow white. She had very fair skin, and dark hair. And I had found a beautiful home made dress. She was so pretty. It made having a girl SO fun!
tabwheeler@hotmail.com
last year we made our own costumes with things we had laying around the house. the kids had fun inventing, and I loved my wallet staying full
A traditional costume in our family, beginning with my brother, has been the businessman. He wore an old suit and carried a briefcase. Nice and warm, and the candy went into the briefcase. In years since, whenever we had a snowy Halloween, my son went as the businessman. The most fun part was that my husband used to urge him to bring out the Briefcase of Joy and share some candy.

I remember being Wonder Woman when I was growing up, while my older brother was The Hulk. I find it amazing that characters like these and Strawberry Shortcake have made a good comeback and my kids, if they so choose, could be those things too!
mom bake 3 at gmail dot com
I made a scare crow costume for myself for a work halloween party. It was such a hit that I won first place in the costume contest.
My most memorable costume was senior year in college when my 5 roomies and I dressed up like the Wizard of Oz. I was the Good witch. We won a contest and had loads of fuN!
I dressed like a mime on year for Halloween. My uncle taught me some "moves" and everything. I loved it at the time, but I'm absolutely sure that I was a giant dork, now.
My favorite costume was "roller disco girl". LOL. Now you know what era I'm from!

We haven't dressed Ali up yet, so I'll have to dig realllly deeply to remember what I was as a kid. . . let's see. . . Mom made extremely accurate Care Bear costumes for me, JC, and my cousin Scott one year. We were adorable.
Wow Greta-you are so popular with all the comments. Well I remember when we were much younger my mom made us Indian costumes...she made them a little big so we could wear them for a few years in a row...I actually found the box of all our costumes when my parents moved a few years ago...it was fun to remember all the fun years!
I dressed up as Marilyn Monroe one year that was fun. Other than that I was a cheerleader as a kid a lot or a nurse.
I would love some white hot chocolate from starbucks right now as it's very cold for Oklahoma (50's) lol.
When my son was little he went as a 101 Dalmation and I was Cruella. Thanks for entering my name.

My favorite costume was something that my sisters worn, there twins so they went as salt and pepper shakers it was so adorable!
I took sewing in home-ec in high scool and about 10 years later decided I could make my daughter an angel costume. What a joke! I did finish it and never made another thing. I made her be an angel in every Christmas program until she grew out of it!! I tried to get my boys to be angels too, but no go. I still have the thing hanging in my closet.
For my eldest daughter's first halloween, my hubby talked me into letting him dress her and our pug dog up in matching costumes, so my sweet little 2 month old and our pug were both fire chiefs (the only storebought costume we could find in both dog and infant varieties!)
Great giveaway!
I dressed up as the pink panther when I was 7.

My mom sewed me this incredible medieval-lady costume one Halloween... I've worn it many many times since then - she put so much effort into it, I kind of have to! ;)
When I was 2 I dressed up as an egg. It was cracked in half and the top half was worn on my head, and the bottom half was over my body. It was the cutest darn thing!
Thanks for the great giveaway!

My favorite was a bag of jelly belly jelly beans! I wore a big, clear plastic garbage bag that I cut holes in and drew the label of the bag on and filled it with balloons. I finished by tying it up around my neck. ONLY TROUBLE.... how was I to make a bathroom break. LONG NIGHT!!! LOL College fun!
I went as a Christmas tree one year - that was quite memorable, especially when I sat on and broke an ornament!
My most memorable is probably my least favorite...a friend and I went as a hobo, man I was looking pretty ugly to say the least!
My 3 girls were "Wizard of Oz" - Dorothy, Glinda, and the lion. They were so cute ... !

my mom made the most adorable (and elaborate!) mice costumes for my sister and I one year. Our next door neighbor's mom also sewed her one too!
My favorite was when I was five I was Raggedy Ann and my sister was a ghost. She kept tripping over her sheet and dropping her candy. I was five so I scooped the candy up and put it in my bag. It was my best halloween ever.
My sister and I still laugh about this one.
I was a light blue ballerina and my mom made the costume. It was grade 1 I think! Thanks for this great chance to win! chattyhousewife(at)gmail.com

My all time favorite costume was The Mask. It was funny! I would love to try the lime and rust remover! Awesome Giveaway! Thank you for the chance to win! :)
My least favorite costume ever (but most memorable) was the year my mom made me be peas in a pod. I had to wear this nasty pea-green sweatsuit with foam "peas" taped to the sweatshirt. I thought I was hideous! Though, in retrospect, it was a very clever (and low-cost) costume.
I once wrapped myself up in tin foil and went as a leftover! It got quite alot of laughs!
I dressed up as a lady from Ancient Greece one year.

A white chocolate mocha does sound pretty nice right about now! My most memorable Halloween costume was when I was in HS I sewed myself an octopus costume out of shiny purple material. It turned out really cool and I was so proud I had made it myself.
This year my two yr old is a dog and he loves wearing his costume around the house and pretending he's an actual dog! He's such a cutie!
Thanks for the giveaway!

I think my most memorable costume was the year I was a bank teller. All the bank employees were supposed to dress up for Halloween. I dressed as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. I drew some freckles on with an eyebrow pencil. (Not that Dorothy had freckles, but I was trying to look like a young girl!) The bank's vice-president was an old guy who should have been retired, and he was just delighted! After that he always called me Freckles!
The best ever--my parents made me a York Peppermint Patty. I won costume contests everywhere we went that year!

My freshmen year of college I went crazy with my Marie Antoinette costume, complete with bloody neck makeup. My then boyfriend now hubby dressed up as Bear in Blue House, because he's been ready to be a dad since forever. We looked awesome and as we went downtown. People (very drunk people) kept yelling, "there's Alf and a Mormon". We left downtown after maybe twenty minutes.

I was raggedy anne for many many years in a row, and i didn't get sick of it!

I went as Jane Doe one year, you know the unclaimed body in the morgue. I had a toe tag and all. I was a new mom and I felt dead all the time anyway, so why not put that lack of life to good use. :o) (weird writing that, but at least my friends laughed at the time.)
I like the year I dressed up as a majorette. It was definitely something different.

my boys were the cutest dominoes delivery boys every one year. We had an official dominoes shirt, hat and pizza box. They collected their candy in the boxes at the door. It was the cutest thing ever!!
My family didn't trick-or-treat when I was a kid, but we'd dress up for church things occasionally. Mostly I was Bible characters (Ruth, Esther, etc.), but when I got older, my best friend and I dressed as the "Gigglet Twins" - basically black clothes, crazy make up, and our hair spiked (which was interesting as mine came almost to my waist) and sprayed with some glittery color.
One of my most memorable costumes was worn by my mom. My daughter was about 2ish. My mom was dressed as a witch with a hat that came with a wig. My daughter saw her and started crying. Even taking the hat off, my mom could not convince my daughter it was ok as my mom still had makeup on.
My daughter knew the voice but was screaming.
It took her a day or two to rewarm up to my mom. My mom never did wear that costume again.
I never dressed up for Halloween. My neice looked really cute as Tinker Bell last year.
a real fuzzy care bear costume my mom made.

My son dressed up as a bug last year. It turned out to be the cutest costume. I almost wish he could still fit in it for this year! Thanks for the giveaway!

When my oldest son was little, I sewed a really cute clown costume for him and went all-out with the makeup, clown hair, big shoes & clown nose. I spent so much time on that costume that every kid in our family has worn it at least once....my kids, nieces, nephews, and now my granddaughter!

My most memorable Halloween costume was a Clown when I was in 5th grade. I made my own wig, big shoes, and did my own makeup. I even won a prize at a local recreation center. It was one of the last times I went trick-or-treating, which is why I think I worked so hard on the costume.
Thanks for the great giveaway! When I was maybe 6 or 7 my mom made me a bunny costume. It was a full suit I had to get into with booties to go over my shoes and bunny gloves. The only thing visible was my face. Looking back at the pictures, they are just too cute...and yes I still have the costume!
Last year, I went with my roommate as the Green Monkeys from Legends of the Hidden Temple! It was such a hit! :O)
my son dressed up as a newspaper once. it was the most original and best made winner at a local contest. not to mention he was just adorable.
I dressed my daughter as a Chick-Fil-A cow last year (with a little "eat mor chikin" sign) and it was hilarious!

When I was a kid I wore my dad's flannel shirt and jeans. I shoved a pillow to make a big belly. I guess I was a hobo, I just remember constantly pulling up the pillow all night long!
I was a big bad wolf once, and my date for the evening was a lumberjack, it was fun. Thanks for a chance.
When my daughter was 12 months old she was the cutest little witch one has ever seen.. She had short bright orange hair and her black hat was see through so you could see her hair and her costume was black and orange the skirt was poofy. she won many costume contests that year!

We don't really do Halloween around here, but this year my baby is dressing up as a little princess for a party...I'm thinking she'll be pretty darn cute, even if it's not original. :)
When I was ten, my mom dressed me in green leotards and put big yellow felt petals around my face. I was a sunflower.
This wasn't my costume, but my brother's. He had an artistic friend make a huge paper mache head, wore his Seattle Mariner's jersey & little league pants and was an Ichiro bobble head. It was a great costume. My one year old is bald so he was Charlie Brown this year. SO cute.
When my son was a newborn, he reminded me of a turtle. So last Halloween, that's exactly what he was. And a cute turtle at that.
My brother and I were crayola crayons one year...I may try it with my kids soon.

Halloween isn't something we celebrate now, but I did go as a kid. I barely remember it, but I did go as a pregnant lady one year. Turned out prophetic, as that is my favorite state to be, lol. I only have 7 kids... I could go for being pregnant a couple more times.
My Mom made me a bat costume with huge wings!!
I remember dressing up as Animal from The Muppet Show. That was one hot mask!

One of my favorite pictures from my childhood is a Halloween where I was dressed as an angel and my older brother was the devil. My mother made the costumes and we looked adorable
when my son was five... where ever he got the notion... he wanted to be a crow for halloween. I am not the usual crafty person, but I managed to sew him a costume, sewed hundreds of felt feathers all over, bought a black baseball hat and put googly eyes on the front of it. He was adorable!
I remember dressing up as a witch once. Complete with green face. This year my girls will be batgirl and a monkey.
Favorite costume when I was a kid was a last-minute one my mom pulled together...seemed like magic to me. From an old skirt and ruffly shirt and a pointy witches hat she made me into a spanish dancer complete with plastic rose for my mouth! Thank you for the giveaway. guill888 at yahoo dot com
one year I dressed up as a boombox. I even played music.
My stepdad made it for me, and it was SO COOL!

My favorite halloween costumes were the cheerleader ones...since I seemed to be one almost every year..
Somewhere in my second or third grade, I had a Halloween fantasy. I just KNEW I had to be Princess Leia! I constantly imagined wooing my friends as I unveiled the homemade Princess Leia costume. Boy, would they be impressed...and surprised when we put on our costumes for our parade!!! I arrived at school and quickly my bubble burst as someone said, "Look at Jenna's hair! She's going to be Princess Leia!!" Yep. The side buns gave me away. Still, though...it was a great year. Definitely better than when my mom dressed me up as a lion in the fourth grade.
My mom made me a genie (Jeanie) costume in the 5th grade. It was awesome. It was the beginning of my boy crazy days & it caugh the attention of my crush. :) (It wasn't risque or anything!)My mom is awesome.
as a joke with my girlfriend in high school, we both dressed up as ladies of the evening and walked up and down Main St. boy that was a night I will never forget! (yes, mom was watching to make sure all was well, it was a dare we had to do for school friends!)

When my middle son was 3 months old, I found an Ice Cream Cone costume for infants. I found this little cap with a red pom pom on top, so it looked like he had a cherry on top. It was really cute. Unfortunately, that year it ended up being about 80 degrees on Halloween, so he didn't wear the costume very long!
I dressed as a pioneer girl.

Hey, do you really love Mr. Pibb? Because I do too...it's WAY better than Dr. Pepper! LOL!
I remember dressing up as a witch in kindergarten. It's memorable because after that, my parents got all religious and never let us dress up again. *sad*
Years ago our family went as characters from the wizard of oz - the tin man, dorothy, the cowardly lion, and auntie em and our booth for the harvest festival was pin the button on the scarecrow. fun.

I remember this bunny costume we had. My sister and I took turns wearing it for years!!
One year I was Morticia from the Adam's family, we made it out of graduation gowns if I recall correctly. My parents did a lot of sewing. I already had the hair. It was awesome.

I grew up in a pretty conservative Baptist home, so we didn't celebrate "Halloween", but my parents always let us have a "harvest party" with friends from church. I remember one year I dressed up as a roll of toilet paper...I looked like a gigantic marshmallow!! :)
i was a little old granny once, and one time a scarecrow, those were both fun and great costumes.
Once for a church harvest party, I dressed my son (then 5 years old) up as Caleb from the Bible, but people thought he was the fruit of the loom guy, because I did a huge thing of grapes on his back lol.

I dressed up as a Southern Belle when I was 12. Hair all done up on top of my head, cameo brooch, lace highneck blouse, full skirt....the works.
I always remember the cute pirate costume my mom threw together for me when I was five. It really was cute.
My favorite was when I was a butterfly. Thanks katie_mmartin at yahoo dot com.
My daughter is going to be elmo this year and i can't wait!!

When I was 4, my mother moved us away from all of our family and friends. To cheer me up she handmade a beautiful tiger costume. It has shredded over the years, but it remains one of my favorite memories.
My favorite costume was when my daughter's Brownie troop dressed like bags of jelly beans for the local parade.

My favorite is the one I have for this year: Anne Boleyn *post* beheading!
My oldest is going as Ms. Smartie Pants! We are pinning smarties to her pants!! Sweet & Simple!
I made a skeleton costume the NIGHT before (I was a 1st grade teacher) using black clothes and gloves and white contact paper. I was up all night, but it turned out great!
Growing up in the mid to lat 70's we had those wonderful full plastic-slip-over-your-head costume with the mask. I was Strawberry Shortcake one year. Wow costumes have come a long way.
Thanks for the chance to win.

My favorite costume when I was a kid was a bunny costume that was furry all over. I think it was actually too warm to wear most years, but it was a hand me down from a friend that was too big the first year, so I think I managed to get three years out of it! It was really soft, which was the best part.
Thank you for the giveaway!
I would love a little latte about now! My fovorite costume from when I was little was an ET costume my mom made. She did an awesome job using fabric! I still think about it every Halloween. Thanks for the offer!
