Brad & Sue! Thank you for inspiring me to carve a pumpkin this halloween. I decided on a sheep, since it was a character I had never seen someone do for pumpkin carving! I love it. Despite much questioning from my husband, and a lack of faith that this would be a success, it turned out beautifully! Thanks again. Your ideas are fantastic & so much fun!

Thanks for the link Jaime. Sorry to hear you’re carving your pumpkins alone. There’s always hope for next year, right? :)

I’ll be getting my pumpkins this weekend! Sadly, this is the fourth Halloween during my fiance and my relationship and the fourth Halloween that he’s been away for work. So I always carve two pumpkins myself. It’s sort of cathartic. :)

I gave you guys a shout out today: http://www.embracingbalance.com/2009/10/around-internet-4.html

Great post.

I (well, me and a coworker) did a Batman pumpkin last year!

Now you need a pumpkin for Himmery. I’d suggest a scary cat face, but that would likely scare him.

I think your design was the PERFECT idea! Did you come up with it yourself, or had someone suggested it? Either way, it was brilliant and looks fantastic. Wish we lived closer so we could drop by and take a look-see for ourselves. Awesome! You may have even inspired me to go grab a pumpkin and carve it this evening before Peter & Lindsey come over tomorrow . . . maybe. :)

Glad you’ve been inspired! It might work, though I’m not really sure to be honest. We aren’t really experts at this sort of thing. If you try it, let us know how it goes.

Morbid? I hope not because we do the same thing every year. We wait until the last possible day to throw it out! :)

Very clever. I always get excited to carve pumpkins in the fall, although once I get into it I seem to loose my steam pretty quick. I think the best part though is watching the pumpkin face droop and loose its shape as the pumpkin decays, is that morbid?
