SO...who wants a Halloween candy bracelet? :D
Yep, I'm giving away my bracelet to one of you lucky and oh-so-gifted-with-impeccable-taste-in-blogs readers. Plus, look! I found the perfect box for it in my craft stash!
Isn't it great? When I found these little gift boxes a few years ago, I actually bought 3. Mmm, orange-y goodness.
The bracelet *just* fits inside. The box is wood, and ties shut with a satin ribbon attached to the bottom half:
Oh, and I should mention that the bracelet is a bit smaller than average: just over 7 inches around, as opposed to the usual 8. So if bracelets tend to be snug on you, this may be too small.
UPDATE: And the winner is....Alyssa (aka alyssag721)! Congratulations, and please e-mail me your mailing address, Alyssa!
The contest has ended!
Now, rules: leave a comment (one per person, please) with a link to to one of your favorite Halloween things: costumes, crafts, jewelry, or what-have-you. (Don't forget to embed the link!) Also be sure to include a way for me to contact you. And just to reward all my fellow staying-in-on-a-Friday-nighters, I'll be randomly choosing the winner *tonight* at 10pm EST. Yep, in less than 5 hours. See? It pays to check my posts early!
Check back on this post at 10:05pm for the winner, or I'll also be announcing it on Facebook.
Good luck!
Candy bracelets are totally cool and so is this: My Future Pumpkin

Well, I LOVE costumes and decorations, and how is halloween complete without jack-o-lanterns?
ReplyDeleteI'm quite fond of This one that pink ray gun put out a couple years ago. (Ten will always be my Doctor, no matter how much I adore Eleven)
Love the blog and the bracelet!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about Halloween? The food: food
Cool! Your bracelet is adorable. I would love to have it.
ReplyDeleteI love Haunted houses and plan to take my boys to one this one this weekend. This one looks really scary. I went to this one last year and it was pretty good too.
My favorite thing to make around Halloween time are these

Mine has got to be watching all of my favorite Johnny Depp movies. Sleepy Hollow, The Ninth Gate, From Hell, Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride, the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and now Alice in Wonderland...
ReplyDeleteHe is soooo the quintessential Halloween-y actor. He plays the most brilliantly dark roles with awesome-tacular costumes!!! Oh who am I kidding?! I'd watch Johnny all day long without Halloweeen.

Oooh! I love the bracelet and all of your posts! And I'm not even just saying that to win! (though it may help????) This is my favorite halloween costume... Candy Corn Dog Costume
ReplyDeletemichelle@sheridandesign.us
I love/hate this. I'm opposed to dog costumes in general, but my friends have an old inside joke about beedogs.
ReplyDeleteAs a cosplayer who does DragonCon every year, it's hard sometimes to get excited about Halloween (it seems so...tame in comparison!) but perennially spooky Kambriel is really one of the most amazing designers I know. She actually made the coat that Neil Gaiman wore to the Oscars, and she has made numerous things for Amanda Palmer. Her patchwork coverlets are sumptuous and beautiful creations, and her One Of A Kind page features some gorgeously spooky chokers and jewelry!

I love this bracelet! So cute! I bought all of the stuff to make these- now I just need the time to actually make them!
ReplyDeleteI love Oriental Trading for a lot of my Halloween "stuff". LOL
ReplyDeleteBeing a Vol. Firefighter one of my big kicks is safety, so I always ordered a lot of their Glow-in-the-Dark, GID stuff and some of their little flashlights to give out instead of candy. Hopefully all of the little ghosts and goblins (or Marios...) are seen and safe.
Love this bracelet! And it will go great with the super-awesome Mickey Pumpkin Head light-up ring that I bought at:

which I'm posting as my favorite "halloween thing" since I can't find a picture of a light-up ring.

That bracelet is adorable. As for good Halloween stuff, I really want to dress up as Vampire Willow but I fear I will not be nearly as successful as this person. She must have made that corset jacket herself for all I can find anything like it online. I bow to those with sewing talent.

I love cool homemade costumes Making costumes for my family is the highlight of my year and I love seeing what other people can do! This year I'm stealing the idea from one of your D*C posts and making everyone in my family Candyland costumes! I spent about 4 hours attempting this bracelet & failing. You need an Etsy store so we can shop your crafts!!
ReplyDeleteYour bracelet is totally rockin', and while it would clash with my costume color-wise, I'd totally wear it if I won...the whole family (me, the hubby, and our two kids aged 4 and 2) will be dressed as a character from this page...
ReplyDeleteSo cool and cute.

The best part of Halloween is, hands down Tootsie Roll Fruit Rolls. Where I live I can only ever find them for Halloween and they are the yummiest candy ever. I always buy a few bags, with the intention of making them last, but I invariably eat it all before Christmas. :)
ReplyDeleteI love to carve cool pumpkins. So here is my favorite site to get a template~

ReplyDeleteLike everyone else, I love Halloween. One of the things we do is make a haunted gingerbread house; this is last year's.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute bracelet! So far my favorite Halloween things I've seen this year are dead man burgers. I might not end up making them with veggie burgers, but I'm definitely going to make them.
ReplyDeleteMaking jewelry is one of those crafts I've never really tried...I love your adorable bracelet!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy spending Halloween with Charlie Brown and making sad faces every time he gets a rock.

This year my favorite Halloween thing has to be my little monster featured on my blog.

Ah, I've been drooling over your bracelet ever since you posted it! I can't imagine having the patience to pull something like that off. :o)
ReplyDeleteI love all the costumes ohdeedoh has been featuring lately, but this collection takes the cake. Who wouldn't love a two year old Nacho Libre?
Also, you need to go to New York and go to this steampunk haunted house sometime!

ReplyDeleteWe love carving pumpkins
ReplyDeleteand wearing creative costumes.
Adorbs! Me (27 year old girl) and all the grandmas in the world will love this :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Halloween thing is obviously dresses up infants as food items.
I love how you turned my all-time favorite halloween treat into an adorable bracelet! (candy corn!!! YUMMMMM...must...not...eat...entire...bag...)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Halloween thing is my friends' house. Every year they do a different theme and turn the entire front of their house into something amazing. It's been fun helping them with the process, which you can track here
Yes, I am in several of these pictures, but I'll just mention that my little guy has been dressed as a naked mole rat for the superhero year (Kim Possible, anyone?) and as a young Prince Philip for last year's Sleeping Beauty theme. :)

Since I am horrible at pumpkin carving, I love to go ogle Extreme Pumpkins and dream of doing what they can.
ReplyDeleteInitially I was intending to link to a youtube clip of the "Rocky Horror Picture Show", because that's one of my favourite things I associate with Halloween. But I couldn't find a good one, and let's face it-you need to watch the whole thing in its entirety! So I found a good free pumpkin stencil website. I did Jack Skellington last year! It was so good! Check it out

I love the Pumpkin King! Pumpkin cheesecake is awesome too... I just love Fall! krob.08(at)gmail.com
I'm not a big fan of Halloween, for many reasons (among them being having my bro-in-law's viewing Halloween night and having people show up as vampires and such), but I do like Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. Mmmm... I need to make me some of those babies!
ReplyDeleteI love halloween accessories simply because halloween is my favorite holiday. My favorite halloween activities are scaring small children and dressing up in my favorite attire as Alice!

Nightmare Before Christmas and of course

My very favorite thing about halloween is candy corn! I restrain myself from eating the awful-for-you, oh-so-yummy candy the rest of the year. :)
ReplyDeleteMy pumpkin-shaped sugar cookies! I'll be making more soon and can't wait to eat some! ;)
ReplyDeleteHalloween is my favorite holiday! I'm toying with the idea of making this awesome Marie Antionette costume. It honestly does not sound as complicated as I thought it was.
ReplyDeleteI love this bracelet! It would be worn all year if you pick me. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd my favorite part of Halloween isn't actually Halloween. It's Dio de los Muertos!
http://www.azcentral.com/ent/dead/articles/dead-history.html
The best part of Halloween are the Haunted Houses. The rush of adrenaline, the stomach tingling in anticipation of what's-that-around-the-next-corner?, being able to hold onto a certain guy's arm...I love it! My favorite haunted house is Nightmare on 13th
ReplyDeletestaceymay626@gmail.com
I LOVE this bracelet, and the box, and even the ribbon! My craft is "rock pumpkins" I am actually doing a pumpkin patch with this craft for a patch of dirt meant for flowers in the front of my house.

I absolutely LOVE Halloween: the costumes, the decorations, the candy! I even have a black cat that I adopted on Halloween.

Love the candy bracelet! I found this cute little bride of frankenstein on etsy today. I might have to buy it. :)
ReplyDeleteHalloween is my favorite holiday, it always has been. I love dressing up and it makes me sad that there's only one costume related holiday during the year. And of course, the candy doesn't hurt. Well, maybe it hurts the waistline...
ReplyDeleteMy link is from Martha Stewart, who is my hero, after Jen, of course! Because Jen loves Steampunk. It's this year's pumpkin line up and I think they're pretty amazing. I love really beautiful ideas for carving pumpkins and the leaves on the first slide are pretty spectacular.
But this year I think we'll be carving Mario Bros. pumpkins. I love themed costumes for the whole family and this year I wanted my almost 2 year old daughter (who LOVES Mario games) to be Princess Peach, my almost 6 month old son to be Toad, and my husband and I were going to be Luigi and Princess Daisy. Unfortunately, I do not yet own a sewing machine and therefore couldn't make costumes. So pumpkins will have to do.
I'm not sure what we'll be doing for costumes, but I know your fabulous candy corn bracelet would look great as I hand out candy!
Favourite thing about halloween? It has to be that one awesome little kid who trick-or-treats dressed as a dinosaur

My daughter would love this bracelet, I showed it to her last week!

I'm going the old-school route and nominating as my favorite Halloween thing. My husband and I watch it every year, and it will always signify the "start" of autumn for me.
ReplyDeleteI hope this works - my favorite Halloween project so far has been turning my front light into the Eye of Sauron: TheEye
ReplyDeleteI can count this as my favorite Halloween *and* Christmas movie, right? Here is the intro to Nightmare before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteNow for the song to be stuck in my head all day!
BTW, the bracelet is rather amazing :)
I have been OBSESSED with this bracelet since you posted it, but there's no way I have the mad skillz to make one of my own. That precious little box just puts it over the edge - I would love to win it!!!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite "Halloween" crafts is these faux caramel apples. If that's not Halloweeny enough for you, I also LOVE these stuffed candy corns I made last year. :)
Halloween is my favorite holiday, and your bracelet rocks! Everyone at work would want to steal it from me!

I blame you for my latest obsession: Pumpkin carving templates from Pink Ray Gun.
ReplyDeleteI seriously can't decide which one I want to try.
I WANTTTTTTTTTTT! http://www.coachhousegifts.com/seasonal/ cant get the html thing to work. :(

I'm doing this one myself with my own special touches.

That bracelet is ridiculously adorable - and the box made me squee...
ReplyDeleteI love Halloween for the Trick-Or-Treaters and for getting to go wander around the mazes at Knott's Scary Farm
My favorite Halloween item is this 3D Halloween card that I created. Out of all my 3D greeting cards, this one is by far my favorite. I almost couldn't bring myself to sell it!
ReplyDeleteHooray for staying in on a Friday night! (And thanks to everyone sharing their links--I've found all kinds of new Halloween favorites to investigate!)
ReplyDeleteStill, I would have to say my favorite part of Halloween is somehow figuring out how to incorporate my favorite corsets with my Halloween costume while still making it friendly to wear to work. (Last year: FFX's Lulu, and I made the belted skirt out of woven strips of duct tape. My boss asked if I was a witch or a wench...close enough!)
Thanks again, everybody--and happy almost-Halloween!

I absolutely love the bracelet, so let me share the Halloween Site I look forward to every year.
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at how talented <a href="http://www.extremepumpkins.com>MY TEXT</these> people are!

Most of my love for Hallowe'en is because it's as much a celebration of autumn as a scare-fest. And I love autumn so, so much.
ReplyDeleteBut right now, I have this song stuck in my head, and it's making me happy about Hallowe'en.
(I also like getting to stick an apostrophe in the middle of a word that isn't really a contraction. Small things amuse me.)
Oh man, I just adore that little girl that dressed up as Jareth last year - it still makes me squee at the adorable brilliance of it.
ReplyDeleteThis past Sunday night, coyotes killed my beloved dog TOD. While I love costumes and make-up and Halloween in general (aka my dad's birthday), this year I'll be thinking more of my sweet lost TOD. In that vein, I like this Wikipedia entry about Halloween's origins as festivals of the dead and souls wandering around: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween (the link embed thing didn't go so well). Good to know that it's not just a crafting warm-up for Christmas! If it's any help, TOD was reddish-gold - a very autumn-y color. (It stands for The Other Dog - because when my daughters dragged him home, I wasn't going to get attached...seven years ago.) vescomi@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI love the bracelet!!! Here is another children's crafts that I really like.

Can I link to your bracelet?Because I love it, I went looking for my very own Dremel and candy corn the other day. I am attempting to embed the link but I am not sure it is working. And, I'm not a suck up, I just love that bracelet.

I love the bracelet!! Here is another site for chilren's crafts that I like a lot...

Ok, so yes, I love both of you blogs and all of your crafty ways. I am a fairly recent admirer (in a totally non-stalkerish way), but I went back to the beginning and read everything on both blogs!
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm looking forward to making just as soon as I can, Cranberry Pumpkin bread

I love Sarah's artwork over at Cottage Garden Studios. Here are a couple of her things that I especially love!!
ReplyDeleteThe Witches' Shops bookmark and the Halloween Tags gift tags.
Ooooh! and this little house she made is ADORABLE!!!!
And Sherry Byrum's art.... I don't have enough time! Ahhh!!!
For years I have been wanting to make and wear this Padme Picnic Dress as a costume.
ReplyDeletealexaslaughter@gmail.com
Oh the cuteness! I love the box too. I'm not sure if you can see this link - one of my FB friends is so creative and talented... She hasn't blogged about it yet, but if she does I'll try to remember to link that to you on FB. cute pics
ReplyDeleteI hope I embedded the link correctly... lol
This is a completely unfair trick contest! There is absolutely nothing else that I think is as cool as your bracelet. After reading the instructions and discovering that I would be an abject failure at replicating the bracelet, I began contemplating what I could do to pay you to make one for me! Consider balisana at gmail.com to be your first customer.
ReplyDeleteHere's a great stencil that I would make a great pumpkin:
Doctor Who Pumpkin Stencil
I love your Bracelet. Especially the pumpkins that you painted the faces on.
ReplyDeleteSo my favorite thing about halloween in cooking treats Lots and lots of treats. The one thing I want to make is this yummy apples
As soon as you posted this, I had an irresistible urge for candy corn. And also, to make one of these myself.
ReplyDeleteI just saw this recipe today, and I already have the pumpkin, so I'm looking forward to trying it out!
Contact me through phoenix(takethispartout)ofthestars(at)hotmail.com

ReplyDeletebracelet is so amazingly cute!!
ReplyDeleteI wanna make this so badly but i'm not sure i'm quite skilled enough lol
Pumpkin Witch Carousel
Love the bracelet. I have itty bitty wrists, so I'd love to show off your bracelet!
ReplyDeleteI am enamored of these muffins
I don't even care that I'm pimping myself.

I carve an Elvis pumpkin every year because my mom is a huge Elvis fan (what can I say, I love him too!) and I always use the seeds to make candied pumpkin seeds. I basically eat ice cream with candied pumpkin seeds on top for an entire week after carving. Soooooo good.
But if I'm not pimping myself: I also really love Bakerella's Pumpkin Pie Bites

My favorite thing about Halloween is seeing everyone else's costumes. I love the nostalgic ones like this the most!
ReplyDeleteI just love that candy bracelet! It is so cool! So I've been looking for a cool design for my pumpkin this year cause I just love cool jackolanterns
ReplyDeleteI personally like the Yoda one, but I'm not sure I'm artistic enough to pull it off. lol
My daughter thought these caramel apples looked pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteWould love the bracelet--too cute!
ReplyDeleteMy Fav Halloween costume is this banana suit that my 2 month old will be wearing....
Did I mention that my 2 year old will be a monkey?? Tee hee!!

One of my favorite memories of Halloween from my childhood is the under-appreciated Garfield Halloween Special, which seems to survive now only in poor quality you-tube clips.
ReplyDeleteYAY!

Loved, loved...Loved...the bracelet the first day you posted it!
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for Jack...
I love my Fill-A-Bowl for every holiday. During Halloween, it's fun to fill it with different kinds of candy corn.

Butterbeer! I spend my hallowe'ens (or try to) in cool manor houses/barns/etc with a group of Harry Potter geeks :D

Oooh! Well, I saw this posted on another one of the blogs I follow (owls, woot woot! oops I mean hoot hoot), and I just thought it was SO CUTE. There is kind of a simple craft compared to what you usually do (which means it's more at my skill level, ha ha!), but if you've ever tried to look for a CUTE owl costume for Halloween, then you know how insanely difficult it is to find one!
ReplyDeleteOwl DIY Costume courtesy of The Owl Barn!
Is there ANYTHING Halloween other than "I got a rock."? I think not! Except if it's Nightmare Before Christmas, but I've always seen that as more of a Christmas movie, anyway. And it doesn't beat out Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown.
ReplyDeletemarythefan @ gmail.com
The bracelet is too cute, the box is super cute... it's almost too much! Almost... I'd still love it. lol This year closer to Halloween I'm going to be making Halloween cake pops and mini pumpkin pies!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about Halloween has to be the The Simpsons' Halloween specials
I absolutely love all holiday specials but am such a wimp so I can't watch most Halloween ones but I am able to watch The Simpsons' ones :)

The bracelet is so cute! I have to say my favorite thing at Halloween is just all the awesome pumpkins.
ReplyDeletesvrnull@gmail.com
My favorite Halloween thing is rewatching Hocus Pocus. It's the BEST way of getting in the spirit for spookiness, grabbing some friends and singing along with "I put a spell on yoo-oou, and NOW you're mi-ine!"
ReplyDeleteI love love love the bracelet, hope I win! nearly(dot)nisha(at)gmail(dot)com
I just love carving pumpkins using these Pumpkin Masters patterns - they are the awesomest!

Candy Corn was always my favorite part of Halloween but it will be replaced this year by seeing my three year old daughter dressed as Kowalski

Just recently followed you over from your other blog, and was pleasantly surprised to find such delicious geekery over here. And now a giveaway. Fun!

Favorite thing about Halloween? Even though my dad is a dentist, it has to be the candy.
ReplyDeleteNovelty Candy
I love Halloween even more than most kids do. One thing that I made last year and was requested again all the way back in June are these witch fingers Creepy, easy and yummy, can it get better than that?
ReplyDeleteLove it sooo much!! My favorite Candy, in a BRACELET? to die for!
ReplyDeleteI have been The Wicked Witch Of The West on Halloween for the past 10 years. And it never gets old!

All bracelets are big on me...i'm a normal sized girl but for some reason have small wrists. This would be perfect holiday fun!
ReplyDeleteAlso, there are outfits/costumes here on an etsy site i found that are just fun! etsy
I belong to a fashion community in which members post their take on various topics. One group is "Flavor of the Month". Obviously, this month's is pumpkin. The link leads to my favorite of the looks so far this month. The owl cookie jar is just too cute! Thanks for the contest!
ReplyDeleteI love Halloween, as do my five children (4 boys, 1 girl). One of our favorite things to do is to carve pumpkins and we always check out http://www.zombiepumpkins.com for ideas. Our email: mcminn[at]bresnan.net.
ReplyDeleteOh my...there are already so many entries. Well, here is mine anyway. The best Halloween "thing" I've seen this year is this. It combines my love of crafts and Disneyland, and it get me all excited for Halloween. I'm totally making a Trader Sam shrunken head to wear to work.
ReplyDeletesldisneyfan@gmail.com
I would love that bracelet, I teach little ones and they would go nuts for it, especially my sweet little one with Autism, he would never let me take it off! I'm loving all the Halloween crafts on this site eighteen25

I love this bracelet and I could totally make my Halloween-crazy roommate wonderfully jealous. In a good way of course ;) For me, there are two things I love about Halloween (besides the costumes because I have no link for that. Fail). First I love Halloween Treats Yes, there are two links because holiday themed sweets are just that awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, I love The Great Pumpkin Poor Charlie Brown. He only gets rocks for trick or treating.

Ooh! The candy bracelet is so much fun, I don't know how you can give it up!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing about halloween is carving pumpkins with my siblings, something that's extra nice to do this year since I may be moving away before next halloween! However, I don't have any photos of this on account of mostly having my hands covered in cold pumpkin goo during the process (we really need to remember to bring them in to the warm a little sooner before carving...)
So instead, here's a photo I took of some halloween lanterns in the woods, because it sort of fits with the story of the 3 of us carving pumpkins together.

I love your candy bracelet. My favorite thing about Halloween besides dressing up the kids is taking them out pumpkin picking and a trip through a corn maze. This is where we plan to go this year.
ReplyDeleteWANT!
ReplyDeleteRE the link... are you kidding? I'm crazy about Halloween, it's hard for me to just pick one favorite thing!
But I'll pick one recent favorite I came across: Spider Cakes
No, wait, I have to post another. Shrunken head in a jar prop.
I'll cut myself off here. I could post so many Halloween links!
