I used to carve 'artistic' pumpkins and with my last job it was too stressful/exhausting to be able to come home and work on my projects. Now that I am home all the time, I finally got my 'groove' back...they have always been musically inspired and well this year's honoree is our favorite....

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I can make a pie as well...though pie from this one would be 'foam-pie'....as it is a fake pumpkin. :lol::lol::lol: (at least it won't rot :D )

    :oops: :oops: :oops: ...I've spent hours on the carvings I have done previously...and I feel bad when it gets all mushy and starts to fall over. This one took me about 7 hours, I wanted to make sure it would come out good. Carving foam is harder then carving a real one too....maybe I'll give it away here on the boards....

    If I find a photo that is graphically appealing then I'll carve a real one and post it. 'k? :D
    (I am looking at the 'Ten' photo as we speak....) ;)

    You should mosey over to the Doggie Thread and see Haffajappa's silhouette photo from today. It would make a gorgeous pumpkin. But then, I have a strong bias towards the dogs... ;)

    {sigh} yes...and I would have to carve a 'kin of my own dogs before I carve someone else's dog...I try to keep it general....the other half wants me to carve a NFL helmet of his favorite team...I have the plans sketched out now....good thing pumpkins are cheap :lol:

    I sometimes wonder if trick or treating will still be around in the future? It seems like it gets less and less every year. I'm sure Halloween will continue to be a tradition, but kids going door to door and getting candy from strangers might be something our grandchildren will only know about through our stories.

    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self

    Last year was the first time since I moved out of my parents house that I lived in a decent enough neighborhood to give out candy and not worry about being shot. It was actually pretty fun to meet some neighbors! But I was surprised to see maybe a half dozen kids between 7-12 years old come up and ask for candy with NO costume whatsoever. Now I understand some dont have the cash for this, but make an effort if you're going to come asking for free candy...some string and a paper plate and a marker...

    last year was the first time in our house, and we were in a hotel on Halloween as the power was out from Hurricane Sandy. We live on a road where the houses are far apart, so not sure what to expect - I am thinking we won't have too many trick or treaters.

    I haven't been able to talk to any neighbors to see if the kiddies come around door to door-I've heard most go to the mall for candy now. There are a lot of stairs to the front door...maybe that will keep them away :lol:
