Jack-o'-Lanterns That Will Make You Glow
When it comes to jack-o'-lanterns, some of us enjoy carving a simple, toothy grin, while others go all out with templates, exacto knives, and downloadable patterns.

Would You Carve a Political Pumpkin?
MSN currently has a few downloadable stencils for creating your very own presidential (or vice presidential) pumpkins. While the designs are cheeky, and carving your very own Obama/McCain jack-o'-lantern is just another way to show your support, a part of me feels like maybe we should lay off of the politics for the light-hearted, child-oriented evening.
