Happy Anniversary, Spooky Little Halloween!

Happy Anniversary, Spooky Little Halloween!

Please note: the giveaway mentioned in this post is now closed. [Updated Oct. 1, 2016]

One year ago today, I hit publish on my first post on Spooky Little Halloween. It’s kind of hard to believe it’s only been one year since I officially launched my site! It feels like so much longer because sharing my love of October 31 has been such a natural fit for me.

So to honor my one year anniversary, I’m celebrating – with you!

First and foremost, I want to thank YOU. Yes, you, my spooky little reader. Because without you, Spooky Little Halloween would not be possible. I am so grateful for each and every one of who you stop by and read my posts, who follow me on social media, who subscribe to my newsletter, who have joined my first Halloween e-course (it’s free!) and who have welcomed me to Halloween Internet Land with open arms.

I was emailing my new friend Matt last week, and we were both marveling over how supportive the online Halloween community is of each other. You may not know this, but I’ve been blogging for well over 15 years now and prior to creating to Spooky Little Halloween I was writing a music blog that I created in 2010. (Now I write both.) I love my little music community I’ve created…but I say this with all sincerity: they are nowhere near as awesome as you guys!

Okay, enough gushing for today. We’re here because we want to celebrate, right?

Right!

You’re going to want to keep reading because I have a little gift for you…

That’s right – to celebrate one year of spookylittlehalloween.com I’m hosting a giveaway! I’ve sacred up some seriously awesome prizes for you guys from some killer artists, creators and fellow Halloween lovers.
