    Send out is October 15th


    Here's what you're required to send-

    *1 Larger Bag (at least 8x11, the size of printer paper)
    *OR a Small Bag (at least 4x5) PLUS another handmade item
    *Candy (at least 2 different kinds, for example a Kit Kat and a bag of M&M's)
    *2 Halloween Themed Handmade Items (for example, a cute hair clip and Dotee Doll)
    *Letter- a cute short letter about your Halloween customs from your Country/Region and your personal Halloween customs. It's always fun to hear about what other people love doing on holidays :)

    The bag doesn't have to be handmade if you want you can buy a cute trick-or-treating bag from the store. I've seen a lot of really cute ones on sale for cheap.

    I'm going to be Lily Munster for halloween :)

    I love Tim Burton's Corpse Bride Character and blood splatter print , of course like The Munsters ,especially Lily Munster and the ORIGINAL Dark Shadows characters from the 1960's( I'mnot at all a fan of the new dark shadows with johnny depp, I think it's stupid) and frankenweenie original and new.
    Favorite colors: dark purple, black, grey ,I like stripes, skeletons,skulls bones.
    I don't like gore so please no disgusting stuff:)


    I'm fine with most candies but considering that it's really hot where I'm from , you may not want to send anything that melts easily, like chocolate.

    Suzy Lee said -
    Hey Pam, I've got all of your stuff done and I think you're really going to like one piece in particular; it took some time to make but I really like how it turned out. I'll be mailing out tomorrow so you'll get your Halloween stuff extra early. You can still mail mine out on the 15th, no rush :)
    - On the other page.

    Anyway I have all my stuff done, except for buying the candy. But wont be going to the post office until Saturday at the earliest. :) I'm putting together a teaser right now then I'll post it.

    I am glad you are enjoying everything! I got your package today! The socks are adorable, and I absolutely love all the sweet bat items! The ATCs are really unique, and the candies are some of my favorites. :D I only got one photo with my phone though. But I tried to get everything in it. (By the way, the spider bag made my day!)

    I've seen Debs stuff she made and it's awesome. I'm way jealous that I wasn't in on this one. Pam, you look adorable as Mario.
