Right - after a few years prevaricating - I've decided to pay up and join a pumpkin carving website, started downloading stencils, invested in a carving set and various other goodies and am settling down (hopefully this weekend) to a long winter's carving.
This is they:

i love pumpkin carving!
i think i'm gonna have a go at carving some "munchkins" (tiny little baby pumpkins) which probably won't be easy but i really want to have a go
what are people doing for halloween? we're having a party at my boyfriends house which used to be a chapel! it's already quite creepy (still has the pews and altar plus it was used as a warehouse for a time so it has metal shutters on the doors and windows!) and we're going to have a dry ice machine to make it even creepier!
i'm not sure what to wear though....any suggestions? i don't want to go for anything typical like a witch or a vampire

I'll post them in the same place -but everytime I do, I'll put another link up to save scrolling back to find the original.
