Thank you, Ladies

*getting my pumpkins on the first flight to freaky's house* Can I have them back by the next weekend, please?

 

[freakygirl]

ofcourse.

I can't find the pictures of mine from last year. But if I do.. I'll post them tomorrow.

I'm going to the pumpkin patch on friday... as soon as we carve all of them I'll make sure to post them too.

I'm a pumpking carving freak! LOL

I'm a total virgin in this field (how exciting is that!)... I know it's going to be a total disaster but I <must> do it this year.

I just found the website for the one I use. Michael's Craft & Hobby is where I buy mine from.

I can not remember the brand name of them right off hand. But MOST craft stores sell kits that come with :

2 little bitty saws
patterns
pokers ( to poke the patterns into the punkin )
and a scraper ( to remove the punkin guts with )

I have used these over and over. I love them as they are different and some of them are pretty. I did one that had a very intricate window design with a spider hanging down. I have done the faces, where you only see the design in the dark with a candle lit in the punkin. They have cat patterns, spooks, faces and there is even one with a wizard that was way cool.
