The time has arrived for our next theme day. October 24 will be the day of the Great Pumpkin. From the traditional to the truly bizarre, we will have it all. Pumpkin recipes, carvings, pumpkin history, pumpkin drinks, and more. Like last month, we are giving away prizes and we are making the pot a little sweeter. Three $50 prizes (sent to your Paypal account) will be given for Most Creative, Editor's Choice, and, since some people aren't big fans of the taste of pumpkin, Carving/Decoration. Winners will also get a little logo like the one above to slap on their blogs to prove that they are top of the pumpkin heap.
