I know enough to put the safety knife down and eat some pumpkin pie - but this was the first thing I thought of when I read the title :)

That was fabulous, thanks poke! Yah Veve and I sat down and recently wrote letters to the Great Pumpkin, she wants a "Sparkles Pony" which means one of the new My Little Pony's

Ah you inspired me to change my sig for Halloween. I found this online done by someone way more talented than myself.....enjoy!LJS9502_basic

@Synthia - every year I watch that Halloween Special - even though I have it on DVD, though not Blu-Ray - I wish the Great Pumpkin would come, but I think I'd be terrified! But the Great Pumpkin should bring gifts ;)

@mrbojangles25 - wow, that is a lot of pumpkin pics! I'm way too uncoordinated for some of that...I'd be in the ER in about 5 minutes, and waiting for about 3 horus ;)

Never did any pumpkin carving before, but this seems like a fun activity.

As if millions of gourds suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Ponies!

I'm going to carve some pony pumkins myself. I will be sure to post 'em here.

I'm a fairly decent pumpkin carver... Your going to have to wait though, I don't usualy carve till later in October.

Simply awesome!

These felt really Halloween-y.
