I happen to love Halloween with all the fun parts like Trick or Treating with friends, carving grinning pumpkins for the porch, scarecrows, apple bobbing etc. I have been thinking about doing this giveaway and I thought it would be a fun way for anyone interested to join me in the fun for being chosen this month's FGOTM. This way we can share our own memories and maybe the Great Pumpkin will choose your name from the basket!
To enter, please just post a fun memory you have of Halloween and what your favorite candy you loved to see drop in your Trick or Treat bag.
A winner will be selected on October 13th and I will email you for your mailing information.
I am delighted to share today that Dreamer 42, April, was chosen as the winner today! Congratulations April and I hope you enjoy your Halloween delights!! April, I have your mailing information so I will be getting your package out right away.
Thank-you all for joining in this giveaway and sharing some of your best Halloween memories and favorite candy. I enjoyed hearing from each of you. When we share fun topics like this , I find it another way to get to know each person just a bit better. We all share many things in common and we just don't know it until we share memories together. I love it and there could hardly be a better Trick or Treat for me!! Well...........there is that peanut butter candy with the candy shell or M&Ms or Neccos or...and .....LOL!!
Help me celebrate by sharing some fun with everyone. I can't wait to hear what your favorite memory or candy is!!
Farmgirl Connie, Killarney, shared this darling old photo with me this week and it seems perfect to share here too. You gotta have a fun pumpkin grinning on your porch or home to get started.

Hi Winnie,
I was brought up in a small town, and every Halloween all the school kids dressed up and marched in a Halloween parade down main street. Then ending at the school for cider and donuts.
My favorite candy at that time was peanut butter cups.
Thank you Winnie!!

I have loved reading all about every ones Halloween memories. My favorite memory was mom making homemade pizzas for dinner. Afterwards we would dress and mom always would paint herself a black cat. Then we would head out to see all our friends and trick or treat. We would come home and sit down with mom look though it, talk, and eat some. I always loved chocolate and mint type candies. I love Halloween and always enjoyed making it very special for my children. This year and last have been hard. My dad passed away last Halloween.

I love hearing about all of the homemade costumes! My mom was a city girl and married a country boy. She felt you had to “buy” a costume. I loved my mom very much, but I think it’s funny how my sisters and I all embraced our daddy’s country ways of living, instead of buying everything from a store.

I have loved reading everyone's favorite Halloween memories. I have so many, but 3 really stand out. We never had store-bought costumes, one year though, when I was 5 or 6, mom found a really fancy pink dress with a big skirt and lots of frills. It was so cheap she bought it for my dress-up box. That Halloween mom made me a crown and wand out of cardboard and aluminum foil, I wore that fancy pink dress and was a princess. The following year, I wore the same thing, but mom took the shear shrug from an old bridesmaids' dress of hers and a couple of metal hangers and made wings to add to the costume, so I went as a fairy princess.
When I decided I was too old to go trick or treating, probably 12, I got in the old dress-up box and dressed my younger brother up like a prom queen, fancy dress (with the chest filled out using an old bra that I put legs eggs in the cups), wig, make-up, and high heels. He won our neighborhood costume contest!!
In my early twenties my best friend, who lived on a farm in the country, and I took her younger sisters trick-or-treating, we had to drive miles to go to all the neighbors. While we were out, it began snowing, my friend's mom put out trays and collected fresh snow. When we got home from trick-or-treating, we had hot chocolate and fresh snow cream. :)
My favorite candy- none, the best were the homemade goodies our neighborhood adopted grandmas made every year!!!

Winnie I have loved reading all the memories everyone has posted!
I have such sweet memories of going Trick or Treating when I was a kid. My Daddy would take my sister and me to town and wait on us while she walked around with me. She was nine years older than me. As I grew up my Mommy was always in poor health so she never got to take me but she always tried to make sure I was involved and had fun times. Most of the kids never really had costumes...we only had masks. It was so much fun to see how happy all the kids were as we went from door to door collecting candy. I remember how hot I would get wearing the mask but it was still so much fun!!! When I got home I was always so happy to share the candy I had gotten with my family. My favorite candies were Kits...Sugar Daddy's and Sour Charms Lollipops!!!
Such sweet memories
Hugs!

I think my favorite halloween memory was when my boys were 5 and 1 or maybe 6 and 2? We were trick or treating around our neighborhood and my little 2 year old was a pirate, hissing as we drove him in the stroller and my 4 year old had knocked on a door and the cowardlly lion answered and they both jumped back from the lack of courage! It was just toooo funny! My favorite halloween candy is probably candy corn. Fun to munch on from the candy dish by the stove!
