I loooove Halloween!! I just canNOT resist those adorably round, plump, oh-so-orange, PUMPKINS!!! That's right, pumpkins! I don't know why, but I am drawn to pumpkins! I wait all year long for those beautiful globes of orange to grow, and I get so, so excited when I see my first glimpse of chubby orange goodness, that symbol of Fall, Halloween & all the family moments strewn across the Holiday's... that first peek just makes my soul glow with anticipation of what's to come in the following months!

Or.... maybe it's because my Birthday is two days after Halloween?!?! ;) :l Whatever the reason... Halloween is IT for me! And, there is nothing else that symbolizes Halloween better than CARVING A PUMPKIN!!! Are you all ready to dig in to the ooey, gooey goodness?! Here goes!! :((
