New Moon potpourri- contests and events for parents and teens to sink their teeth into

With each additional day looming on before the release of New Moon, enthusiasts and vendors are creating additional hype and fodder designed to attract teens and parents alike.

CONTESTS

Serendipity by Suzanne
Any die-hard true to the core Twilight Saga fan knows that the one thing you must have is Bella's Bracelet from the third book in the Twilight Saga series.

This is your chance to win a stunning handmade Bella Bracelet! Even if you already have one, this is your chance to get one absolutely free!

The contest runs from now until November 3 11:59p.m. CT. I will be mailing out the bracelet no later than November 5 to insure it has enough time to get there for the New Moon Movie premiere!

Sweet Avenue Bake Shop
Sweet Avenue Bake Shop is asking fans the most imperative question of all. In celebration of the New Moon premiere, Sweet Avenue Bake Shop (from Rutherford, NJ) is holding a Team Edward vs. Team Jacob face off! Starting November 1st, we will be making Team Edward and Team Jacob cupcakes, and we will be keeping a running tally of who sells more during the month. Why? Because, as we all know, there is no better way to settle a dispute than with cupcakes.
