HALLOWEEN BLOG HOP AND FREE GIVEAWAY

I am happy to be a part of Nancy Gideon's Halloween Blog tour!  Thank you for the opportunity Miss Nancy! 

First, let me say that this time of year is one of my favorite, not only for the free flowing candy, but the cooling temperatures and colorful trees.  I am also an avid scary movie fan.  Although, that wasn't always the case.  There was a time, from about the time I was 9 years old until my early twenties that I was not in a horror movie state of mind.  In fact, I avoided them at all cost.  My earliest memory of being totally frightened by a scary flick was Michael Jackson's "Thriller".  I am not sure if it was because my mother forbid me to see it then I snuck around behind her back, saw it and had to own up to it when I spent the next three nights crying at the foot of her bed, scared to death! 

Then there were the unavoidable slumber parties and "girl/boy" parties where, like it or not, there was already a threat of an "undesirable" movie being popped into the VCR (sorry folks no DVD's or Blueray players in my teenage years).  I tried to avoid them, but to no avail, there was the sleep over at a friend's house where we watched Creep Show and the high school party where they insisted on watching Pet Cemetary. If only I had just had pretended I had a stomach ache or a massive head injury, I could avoided so much mental trama.  Oh, no, I decided to give it my best shot and watched the movies with my much braver friends.  It was okay while we were there, watching, cringing at the gore and the thrills, but as soon as I was back at home, the lights were off and I was left to my imagination, there was no escaping my thoughts, I was a gonner. Now, I love scary movies. But, don't let me fool you, I still worry that a zombie is lying in wait in the dark just around the corner when I take the trash out.  Enjoy your Halloween and get scared.  BOO!

Now for the fun part, if you have read my blog, I want to say thank you for taking a look and REWARD someone.  I have made these very festive pair of gold tone and black earrings and will be giving them away, if you follow these instructions:

1.  I will throw your name in the hat one time, if you comment on my blog (be nice, please).

2.  A second entry will be made on your behalf if you comment AND follow my blog.

Nancy will announce the winner on October 31, 2013.  Please note, I will not be able to ship internationally. 

Thanks for stopping by and now you can move on to the next blog tour stop....

    Shudder... Pet Cemetary. When you said that, I remembered a birthday party in 4th grade where they were playing that movie. Beautiful earrings! Following, now, too. :)

    I didn't like scary movies until I was older, either, and I still won't watch them if I'm home alone. Thanks for the posting. The earrings you've made are gorgeous. I am a jewelry fanatic. I joined your blog, though I really wish I could have found a place to follow via Bloglovin' or email. I don't use my Google email much. Here is my correct email address: michelle_willms(at)yahoo(dot)com.

    I never liked scary movies either growing up. My mom always had them on during the whole month of October so I couldn't ever get away from them. Now however I love them, but still get super scared when the lights are out. I guess I'll never outgrow that.

    I love scary movies, but the only movie I refuse to watch alone is The Exorcist.
