Happy October, TBT! To celebrate Autumn I'm doing a small giveaway for this month. Every day from October 1st until October 31st, there will be a chance to win something. A random winner will be picked using random.org at the end of each day. (I'm living in Germany, but will be basing it on Eastern Time since it will make it easier to award prizes.) I will try my best to announce the winner of each day the next morning and distribute the prize at the same time. You can enter once per day!

Every day will be a little bit different as for how to enter. Some days will be more challenging and require more effort, while others might be something easier such as answering a question (no right/wrong answer - I'm not trying to trick you!). However all of these won't take more than a few minutes of your time to do. Get creative and have fun with it!
October 1: Question: What's your favorite thing about Autumn?
October 2: Question: What's your least favorite thing about Autumn?
October 3: Question: Do you enjoy carving pumpkins?
October 4: Carve a (digital) pumpkin!
October 2: Question: What's your least favorite thing about Autumn?
October 3: Question: Do you enjoy carving pumpkins?
October 4: Carve a (digital) pumpkin!
On a computer:
-Pick a website to create a pumpkin! You can either google "Carve a digital pumpkin" or just use the one that I did. A very easy one to use is ABCya! (http://www.abcya.com/pumpkin_carving.htm)
(If using ABCya!)
-Press "Go" in the bottom right corner
-Pick your pumpkin and then begin carving my making shapes with your cursor (or if you press the gear symbol in the bottom right you can use some pre-made designs/shapes as well)
-When you're finished, press the view button on the right-hand side (Open up the gear symbol in the bottom right first if you haven't already)
-Press the gear button again in the bottom-right and select "share"
-Type in your name/username and press the first symbol with the blue arrow (it will let you save your pumpkin as an image)
-Upload your picture to TBT so we can all admire your masterpiece!
If you're using a mobile device/tablet:
Download a pumpkin carving one that you like! It's very easy to find one if you search "pumpkin carving".
I used this one on my iPhone: http://www.parents.com/mobile-apps/pumpkin-carving/
You can also look up "Carve-a-pumpkin" in the app store if you're using an iOS device.
(If using the Carve-a-pumpkin that I recommended)
-Download it for free in the app store
-Press Start and swipe your screen left/right to pick a pumpkin
-Draw on your pumpkin and it will cut it for you, or press decorate in the bottom-right and swipe your screen up/down to choose a design
-Press continue in the top-right
-Swipe up/down to choose a background
-Press continue in the top-right
-Save as a photo
-Upload to TBT so we can all admire your masterpiece!
Here is one that I made:
If you would like to sponsor a specific day by donating to the giveaway, please let me know! Any donations would be appreciated, it can be TBT/collectibles/artwork/anything. Contributions are appreciated. If you donate you may also change the topic/requirement of the day that you sponsor to whatever you like (Within reason, of course.) Thanks!

Here is one that I made:
-Find an image of a pumpkin to doodle on! I recommend this one since it is simple and is a .png image (It doesn't have that icky white background.)
-Open the pumpkin template in gimp, photoshop, any drawing application, etc. (Whatever you like to use! I use a free program called MyPaint -> http://mypaint.intilinux.com/ )
-Edit it to look like whatever you want!
-Save and upload to TBT so we can all admire your masterpiece!
