I didn’t include this with yesterday’s Haunts with Heart listing because it was getting a little long, and I felt this one had enough to warrant it’s own post. Thanks goes to Connie Nelson, the Communications/Public Relations Director for Wilmington/Cape Fear Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau, who was nice enoughContinue Reading

I got to thinking about “Haunts with Heart” last month. First, I wrote about Scare for a Cure, a haunted house in Austin, Texas that “raises money for local cancer charities one scream at a time.” Then Best Haunted Attraction left a comment on my post about haunted house seasonContinue Reading

One of the girls I play volleyball with is throwing a Halloween bash and invited Wayne and I. GREAT! I love parties, I love Halloween, and put them both together? That’s my kind of party! But to actually go to a party also gives me the excuse to buy aContinue Reading

Okay, I promised I’d record the drawing for the winner of the Halloween Dinner & a Decoration Giveaway and that’s exactly what I did. And, as embarrassing as it turned out, I’m even still posting it! I didn’t pick a back up winner though. Since there were only 3 peopleContinue Reading

Okay, folks, we got ourselves two more prizes for the Halloween giveaway (which I now think I’m going to call the fiberdoodles-Inspired Halloween Blog Party Giveaway Extravaganza…I just like that word “extravaganza.” Gotta keep that in there!). At any rate, the prizes are: a hard cover copy of Joe Hill’sContinue Reading

I decided to even get my blog in the Halloween spirit by going with a new season-appropriate theme. It was a tough choice, let me tell you. There are a lot of nice designs out there! But ultimately I went with this one because I liked the feel best. IContinue Reading

Last week I mentioned how for the fiberdoodles Halloween Blog Party that I will be participating in, which starts October 19, I decided to do a giveaway.  Well, I can not stand it any longer! I am ready to get the party started NOW! So…Let the pre-party begin! THE PRIZESContinue Reading

Another fun contest I ran across today as I caught up on reading all the blogs I follow but am behind on was at the Raven Happy Hour Blog. It was about how Harlequin Nocturne Bites and Sony are sponsoring a Halloween Costume contest. The grand prize is a $199Continue Reading

Okay, I’ve been inspired by Mrs. B and her 31 Days of Halloween, Sharon’s fiberdoodles Halloween Blog Party, and MarZel’s Play of Light and Shadows October giveaways to have some Halloween fun too. I figured why not splurge and do a Christmas at Halloween kind of thing by giving away…what?Continue Reading

I’m nuts for Twitter. It would have driven me nuts before (as in before I started doing Haunt Jaunts), but for blogging purposes? WONDERFUL! It’s an invaluable tool. I wish I had taken advantage of it when I was still blogging for Families.com. I have learned a ton, and IContinue Reading

Yesterday I wrote about how one of the things I love doing during the Halloween season is checking out all the decorations people put up. Since this will be our fourth Halloween in Nashville, I know where some of the best decked out houses are. Over the next few weeksContinue Reading
