VICTORY IS MINE!

We won 'most creative' pumpkins. If we like, we can have our pumpkins on the judges table during the parade this Wednesday.

Congratulations O Mighty Pumpkin Masters!!

Who will have the honor of smashing those award winning pumpkins?

Punkin Chunkin is coming up ...

Hearty Congratulations, LJ!

Several years ago I did a couple of really cool pumpkin carvings ... I did Cartman, Xena, and The Scream. Can't find any of the pictures, unfortunately.

Okay, not award winning.
But I respect myself for it.

C'mon! First one I ever carved.
See happy thread for rest of my Halloween happiness, ie getting to dress up.
FTR - like Valentine's, it's the same name but a completely different thing in this country. Think soccer in the US (as opposed to the rest of the world) as a comparison.

Very cool! You obviously have much more dexterity than I've ever been able to manage with a knife and a pumpkin.

Hmmm...something to think about. People may think I'm nuts with too much time on my hand for carving watermelons. :p

LJ: Congratulations!

Anyways, I've decided to let my nephew and his cousin to draw on the pumpkin for fun. :p I'm very clumsy, especially with a knife. I cut myself while chopping food and peeling stuffs all the time. The thought of me handling a knife around two 5 yr. olds is rather scary. Why not buy a pumpkin carving kit? Because I think it's a waste of money... hihi....just poking fun at Radar. Sorry if you don't think it's funny. I'm not sure I'd do this next year so no use buying a whole kit for something to be used only once.

But if the kit helps you create a pumpkin you're pleased with, you'll be inspired to do it every year. Maybe watermelons, oranges and grapes too. Queen of Bento Box lunches, even.

Hmmmmm.....I like that idea of being Queen of Bento Box lunches... Maybe I will get the kit. It may be too late to carve the pumpkin with the kids but I can use it on oranges and watermelons.

If you don't get it in time you can pait them and save the kit for Bento Boxes.
