Sticker giveaway
Added 2023-10-04 19:22:35 +0000 UTCHi, patrons! It's your skeleditor Elise, with some mischief for the season. Of course, it's always "the season" in The Deadlands.
I don't know about you, but I love stickers. I love them even more when they're skull-shaped. Cute, spooky, both are good. Are they stickers? I love them!
I could not resist picking up some cutes and spoops to share with you this year. To enter to win these stickers, all you need to do is post a favorite memory of Halloween. On October 13, I'll round up all the replies, and pick a random one for a winner!
Halloween in Colorado is always a challenge—it's unusual if we don't have snow by then, so whatever costume I wore was generally covered up by a coat. My favorite snowy Halloween memory is the one where the first (and only) Halloween party I threw turned into a sleepover because everyone got snowed in at my house. We were all 16, and it was one of the funniest nights I can remember.
Tell me your Halloween memory! Win stickers!

2023-10-13 15:20:49 +0000 UTCWhen I was about ten, I dressed up as Ace Frehley from KISS. On the downside, this was when he was in his sparkly disco look. On the plus side, I had an aunt who dressed the mannequins at JC Penney, so we had crazy access to materials. The costume looked fantastic. Halloween night, the local motorcycle gang’s house was on the route. We neighborhood kids were scared to death of this house, but … candy! As soon as one of the bikers saw me, he grabbed me and dragged me inside to show me off to all the others. It was your stereotypical bikers’ den and I’ll never forget any sight or sound or smell of it. My mom, of course, was horrified, but I got extra candy and a great story to tell.

2023-10-09 17:41:00 +0000 UTCTen years ago, I was a first-year teacher (a universally difficult experience), and my first evaluation meeting with my principal fell on Halloween. I love dressing up (and working in a school means that I have no reason not to indulge that love). However, that meant I went into my one-on-one dressed as a peacock, complete with glittery green eye makeup and a full tail. It was a glorious costume, but I was still a nervous wreck...

2023-10-08 02:07:05 +0000 UTCI was about seven the Halloween after the first Scream movie came out, and there was a lot of Ghostface going around the trick or treat that year. Tiny me is walking home in the dark with my bag full of sweets and someone in a full Ghostface costume and mask (probably a teen kid) leaps out from behind a tree and demands all my sweets at the end of a (fake) knife. Tiny me did not approve, whacked Ghostface between the legs with my bag of sweets, and ran home. Still makes me laugh.

2023-10-04 20:21:29 +0000 UTCI will never forget the year I went trick-or-treating as a very deflated pumpkin. My costume began as an orange trash bag (my head sticking out the top) filled with newspaper, complete with black felt for the face, and a stem-shaped hat. As the night went on, I lost a little newspaper at every house, and by the last house, I was completely deflated, my pumpkin face a sagging mess. I thought it was very funny, and I think people felt sorry for me, because I got extra candy!
