Do you love Halloween as much as we do?
You should. Or maybe you will soon.
We are celebrating Halloween in a big way here on SITS this year.
Because bigger is always better. And because pumpkins are good. And because we love you. All of you.
In honor of Halloween, we are planning to host three days of MckLinkys, inviting our readers to write about different topics related to the ghostly holiday, and then link-up their posts here on SITS. In doing so, everyone will automatically be entered into a giveaway for a Canon Rebel T2i.
Let’s say that again for effect.
A Canon Rebel T2i

The kind of camera that enables Pioneer Woman and Dooce to take amazing pictures for their blog. Even Gizmodo says it’s great:
Canon’s Rebel T2i is an incredible camera—everything a first DSLR should be. It takes fantastic photos (and, crucially, video) for the price, it’s easy to use, and perhaps most importantly, it’s a camera you can grow with.
And, its not just the body- lens included.
We meant what we said. We love our community. Each of our readers is as much a part of SITS as Tiffany, Kathy, and I are. Giveaways like this are our way of showing our appreciation.
Here’s how you can get involved:
For three days next weekend, stop by SITS and link up your post on the following topics:
Saturday, October 30: Ghosts of Halloween Past
Create a post that includes a picture and description from Halloween past. This could be a memorable Halloween from when you were a child or simply a cute story and picture from just last year.
Sunday, October 31: Creepy, Crawly Creations
Create a post describing something that you’ve created for Halloween. Anything qualifies…costumes, recipes, crafts, party invites, treats, decorations, whatever you can come up with!
Monday, November 1: Halloween Parade
Create a post that shows us what you (or your kids) dressed up as for Halloween this year.
Each post qualifies as an entry. We’ll also have other ways to enter on Twitter and Facebook, but the posts are something you can start to prepare for now.
So get ready! After all, you never know. Maybe you’ll be the one to walk away with a fabulous camera that will allow you to take your blog to an entirely new level!

If you’re feeling as excited about Halloween as we are, then let’s have some fun today. Head over to our Facebook fan page and share pictures from your Halloween past. You can also visit our discussion forum to talk with your tribe about post ideas and how you are celebrating this year!

This has been exhausting but fun! The hardest part is the Linky – anyone else have trouble with that?
I missed all the linkups but I am a fan on Facebook!
Birthday week and Halloween week are gonna be one and the same for my newly one-year old. But the last pic for Monday’s post?
I call her Raggedy Baldy and she’s all mine, folks.

Our Halloween was packed with fun! The boys loved it and so did Mr. Chris. Here is a link to my Halloween post. http://www.triffecta.com/?p=2062
Happy Tuesday guys!!!
We dressed my niece up as a Zombie Princess — I did her make-up!

So here is my first link re: Halloween and Halloween costumes. It’s a bit of a rant! I posted it last week. I’m going to post a halloween recap later today as well.

This is awesome! Is it too late to link up?
Absolutely not, Adrienne. You have until this Friday to link up. Old posts qualify too.
I hope I got this in on time. This post is all about being either a Dead Hooker, a Black Panther or a Butterfly. Enjoy!

This is a pretty awesome camera. I have one too and I sometimes even use it as a back-up when I go on professional photo shoots. You will love it if you win! And, you could also feel free to link your Halloween photo posts to my blog as well, because, while I’m not giving away anything near as nice as a camera, I am giving away something and that’s kinda cool too!
I soooo need this camera! We have switched between one cheesy digital camera to another, and although they aren’t all that bad, they are just not as good as the Rebel! I am crossing my fingers, my toes and all of the kids and hubby’s fingers and toes too! lol Have a great day ladies!
OMG! I HAVE to win that camera! WOW! I want one so bad but there is no way I will ever be able to afford one. This would be a perfect opportunity for me. WOW! I can’t believe you guys are doing something so awesome! I love you SITS! And I will definitely be posting! Good Luck to all!
Holy cow!!! I LOVE this camera! Whoever wins it is one LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY lady!!! Great giveaway ladies!!! 😉
How exciting.
A day after police said they would not seek criminal charges against Tiger Woods in connection with last week’s car accident, Woods posted a “profound apology” on his Web site while facing another round of allegations in tabloid publications.
Halloween my favorite holiday. Lots of Greenwich Village Halloween Parade photos in my blog. I’m counting down the days till then.
You guys are awesome. 🙂
Great giveaway girls! – Great camera too, I have the European equivalent which I’ve really enjoyed getting to know.
We’ll be travelling back from the US to the UK between the 30th and 31st so doubt I’ll get to take part much. I’m going to have to miss halloween this year and I usually do enjoy it.
