Theologian in Training Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 One thing I have done, and hope to continue to do, despite my age, is to carve a few pumpkins every year. I always loved doing it when I was younger and I enjoy taking a few hours, putting on "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" or Disney's "Legend of Sleepy Hollow," and working on carving my pumpkin. A few years ago I stumbled upon an excellent site for this purpose, which can be found here [url="http://www.dltk-holidays.com/halloween/mpatterns.htm"]http://www.dltk-holidays.com/halloween/mpatterns.htm[/url] Enjoy! And, if you use one, post your pics, I would be interested in seeing how well you did....seeing as I am pretty horrible at it, but, yet, still enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xTrishaxLynnx Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Thanks for posting these, both of you. I usually create some patterns myself, but this year I bought like 20+ pumpkins so these will come in really handy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xTrishaxLynnx Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) Well, I definitely had the most fun this year that I've [b]ever [/b] had carving pumpkins. Here are a few that browneyedgirl79 did (she isn't on very often so I'll share for her): [img]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e12/xTrishaxLynnx/pics129.jpg[/img] [img]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e12/xTrishaxLynnx/pics135.jpg[/img] I LOVE this one: [img]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e12/xTrishaxLynnx/pics119.jpg[/img] She also did a really cool Happy Halloween one that we forgot to get a picture of! Maybe later I'll get a pic of it... And here are mine: [img]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e12/xTrishaxLynnx/pics127.jpg[/img] MissScripture says I'm a redneck. I can't figure out why... She said it right after I showed her this: [img]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e12/xTrishaxLynnx/pics054.jpg[/img] And here is my attempt at carving Jack Skellington from the Nightmare Before Christmas: [img]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e12/xTrishaxLynnx/pics118.jpg[/img] Didn't come out QUITE as well as I'd hoped, and he lost a "tooth".
