Now that's really good - I have had our pumpkin for about 2 weeks and it still hasn't been done. Will definately get it done soon!!! (well I hope).

I love the nightmare before Christmas!!!

Cheers.

This year's pumpkin crop is particularly bad for the environment.

I hope you all feel guilty.

They are fantastic!

I'm not allowed a sharp knife so husband does ours and it always looks more cute than scary!!:mf:

We are having a dressing up party at home just before bed on Halloween - I had hoped that we had escaped for another year but Anya is very interested in Halloween but doesn't yet know what it all entails - next year I will take them out trick or treating and get pumpkins (maybe!)

Hubbie brought me a pumpkin back from a friends allotment, he had grown 50 of them this year (!)
He carved it out and left the 'innards' in a bucket in the back garden.
Doggie found it.
He had a bad bad bellie......

...these are 2005's pumpkins. I seem to have lost the cd with last year's on. I'm trying to find time to do this years, hopefully will get a goos start later on today. We did the 'Pukin' Pumpkin' last year, and also the 'Cannibal pumpkin'...both got rave reviews from Tricksters!

This year, I intend to be a tad more gruesome.....Himself says I'm a very, very sick puppy......

I'm hoping they will be both in bed by then!! Whether Anya stays there is another matter!

I've had so many people ring the bell tonight...I ran out of candy at 8pm. But, best of all, the kids and the parents got a huge kick out of the pumpkins! We've even had folks stop their cars to take pics!

So, I don't care if'n I am a sick puppy!;)

Jules

[incywincy]

They are fab Jules :D

[swirlyarts]

Sick puppy indeed :D

[candles by lisa]

Jules you have certainly put a lot of work into the pumpkins - but yep one sick puppy.

Hehe.

Lisa

:D

What a sick mind you must have Jules....

I hate halloween... had yogurt splattered all over my car last night - and so did half the street. If I'd parked the opposite side of the road it looks like I would have been yogurt free. I've decided to disappear to the cinema or something next year!

We're very lucky here, as it's mostly little kids. There used to be a bunch of right thugs who went around doing similar things to your yoghurt throwers, but they've been sorted out after the ringleader threw battery acid over someone's car a few years back.

I love Halloween. I grew up aurrounded by americans so I must have caught the bug from them. And Halloween should be scary not cute or dumbed down.

Last night we had a constant crowd in our garden admiring the pumpkins and it was great. I hope it's spurred more people on to do good but harmless stuff next year.

Excellent work, Jules... to speak musically, you definitely have Smashing Pumpkins! :D

We had two 5ft spiders on our porch roof (made of tights stuffed with newspaper!) and I spent a whole afternoon makin a 20ft wide web of string stretching from the house to the garden fence... it caught the postman a few times! I think I used around 100m of string, it took forever. How do the spiders manage it? lol

Si.
