Halloween carving

[Mikey]

As we are just a couple of days away, and some of you will have already had parties over the weekend. Are there any pictures of your carved pumpkins.

I always grow some especially for the purpose of carving, I haven't carved them yet with the nipper, but I've started to plan the faces.

If you've already done yours take some photos and put them here, I love seeing others pumpkins, and I will do likewise on thursday.

I haven't decided exactly what to do yet and I think I've got ten or so pumpkins in various sizes. I know what I want to do with the little ones. I'm going to hollow them all out tomorrow, which is the hardest job. Got to buy some rubber gloves because I'm allergic to pumpkin juice.

For ideas, try googling 'extreme pumpkin carving' and look in images! Awesome.....just given me an idea for one of the big pumpkins!

This is a good site too; Pumpkin Carving Patterns and Stencils - Zombie Pumpkins! - Home

Here are a few shots of me and my daughters pumpkins from yesterday. The little ones are snowball pumpkins, which I fitted some florists wire to. The nippers took these out trick or treating last night. Lucky for you lot I don't have a shot of me dressed up as uncle fester.

We could have a vote on which one looks most like you, Mikey

Its generally 1, except for when I'm reading things you've written then its 4, and occasionally the odd faux pas generates a 5. So in reality they are all me.
