Remember my post: Hunting a haunting Halloween on Etsy: artisanal, hand-crafted tricks and treats to order now?

Well, thanks to the generous impulses of some of the Etsy artists I featured in that post, I’m having my first give-away here at The Paranormalist.

On October 1st, THREE different winners will each win ONE of the following prizes:

From Rhonda’s Originals:

PRIZE: One digital download craft project from the Victorian Steampunk Halloween Parade Collection.
Winner will choose ONE from:

Pumpkin Lady & Girl Clown | Vampire Lady  | Witch with Cauldron and Cat

NOTE: Some designs show elements (wire, feathers) that you will need to purchase separately. You may take these downloads to a printing shop, such as Office Max, if your printer isn’t up to the task of color prints on cardstock.

From Rhonda: Win a collage set and I will email you the printouts plus full how-to instructions within 48 hours (usually next morning). Then simply print out in color, cut, assemble, and stain the cardstock character with coffee to make it look like an actual antique! All characters print two sides and stand on their own, so they can be used in the center of your holiday table and enjoyed from all sides. (Instructions to make hanging ornaments also included.) Collect them all!

From Scum Soaps:

FIVE favor-sized bars of handcrafted soap, in five different Halloween-themed scents.

Haunted Woods (Vanilla, Oak)
Cauldron (Campfire, applewood)
Absinthe (Evergreen, mint, wintergreen)
Poison Apple (Apple)
Black Magic (Cinnamon, Patchouli, Cedarwood)

NOTE: THIS LINK GOES TO A LISTING THAT SHOWS 10 SOAPS FOR $20. WINNER WILL RECEIVE A HALF-ORDER OF FIVE SOAPS. NO SUBSTITUTIONS, PLEASE.

From Pooka Creations:

PRIZE: Two 1″ Halloween-appropriate buttons, in pinback or magnet form.

This is my first give-away, so I’m figuring out how to do this as I go. Please be patient with my fumblings. I’ll get better at this once I have hosted a give-away start to finish.

I found a snazzy widget to help me out, but my beloved wordpress.com will not run it. In order to enter the drawing, please click below to be taken to my (newly reopened and revamped) Blogger page – The Paranormalist Portal.

Once there, you will find that the widget allows you to earn chances (think of them as raffle tickets) by completing simple actions like subscribing to The Paranormalist, registering at Etsy, liking an Etsy artist’s Facebook page, and/or leaving a comment here at the blog. (Comments are closed over at Blogger, so when the rafflecopter widget suggest leaving a comment, mark it completed and come back here to leave your thoughts below.)

Enter The Paranormalist Portal

Good luck to everyone. The deadline for entry is the stroke of midnight on October 1st. I’ll annouce the winners here later that day. (You will also be notified by email if you win.)

Then we’ll figure out how to get the prizes awarded.
