Halloween trivia answers and winner!

Last Wednesday on Halloween I did a mini quiz, for people to enter for a chance of winning a badge for their blog.

Unfortunately it was a bit of a flop. I only got 1 entrant... :(
I hope I get more entrants for the monthly caption contests, or I'll have to stop doing them... :(

So the badge goes to Ann Paws from Pawsitivly Pets!! Congratulations!!

She got 1 out of 5 right, but they were really tricky questions, and you weren't allowed to look up the answers.

ANSWERS:
  1. Orange represents fall/autumn and the harvest, and black represents darkness and death.
    .
  2. Jack o’ Lanterns originated in Ireland where people placed candles in hollowed-out turnips to keep away ghosts and spirits on the Samhain holiday.
    .
  3. A unibrow, hairy palms of their hands, long middle finger, claw-like finger nails. (other answers also accepted)
    .
  4. It is supposed to mean that a spirit of a loved one is watching over you.
    .
  5. It was founded by Dr. Donald A. Reed in 1962.
So Ann Paws, you have one the badge below to go on your blog! If you would like a different size please let me know!



Hope you all had a great Halloween, and congratulations to Ann Paws for winning the Halloween Trivia!!

Halloween! (and a chance to win a cool badge for your blog!)

Today is wordless Wednesday and Halloween! Argh! :S
So I have decided to skip this week's wordless Wednesday, and just do a Halloween post instead. How does that sound?

I made Willow a little spider cloak to wear, but she doesn't like it much :(... so most of the photos are of her in a trick-or-treating bag. Hope you like the photos!
I have also added a slideshow, but I don't know if it works in all parts of the world. Sorry if the slideshow won't work- I have also added a collage so you can look at that instead!


Some cut Halloween photos of Willow (Click to make it bigger!)

Today I will be doing some Halloween trivia.
If you want to answer the questions in the comments and you get a certain amount of questions right, you will get a funky Halloween badge for your blog :)
I will announce the answers to the questions in the following week, and give out the badges.
PLEASE DON'T LOOK THE ANSWERS UP! - it will spoil the fun!

Please submit your answers by Friday 2nd of November.
