Holiday Tradition 🎃 Every year, my giant family has a pumpkin carving contest . I’ve never won because I have some pumpkin carving pros in my family, but none the less, we have an amazing time ! 

 

 

 

 this was something I did with my mum every Halloween when I was younger. and as I got older I used to design/print out stencils and carve the pumpkins myself and I always used to have a lot of fun doing it.

Carved a pumpkin with Ray during Hallows Eve and it was so fun to do but very messy process! It wasn't hard it was just messy that's all although we were so proud of how it turned out. His turned out scarier than mine but it was okay because mine had a heart birthmark.

 

 It was a tiny pumpkin and my first one so made a cute Jack o Lantern. Got the hang of it, so def will be carving some more next year

Always carved a pumpkin on Halloween, but decided on putting in some effort on Jack themed one for 2014! 

LOOK AT HIS FACE

I'm quite proud of my carving skills.

 

I have been carving pumpkins for my kids for the last few years. I use templates downloaded from the internet & then take a knife to it. Start with a simple template & then get more complicated as you get better. See Darth Vader below.

 

 My mom and I carved pumpkins together! :) Mine is the spider, hers is the cat!

Fun fun fun! 

 

 It was hard trying to cut through. It came out uneven and slanted. I felt like I had to use all my strength but it was a success.

At my first harvest party!!

 

Carved my VERY first pumpkin! What a fun (and messy) experience. Did a 'Batman' design, which only one person was able to guess! 

They took hours! I've never carved a pumpkin before, but it was surprisingly easy :) I think the end result was pretty good!

The Cheshire cat design was carved by me, and the other by a friend - how do they look? :D 

 

I carved the hillbilly pumpkin & Hassel was extra skilled carving the hangry pumpkin when living in Knoxville, TN.  We went to church dressed up that Halloween as Belly Dancer & Sultan 

 

Carved my first pumpkin with my daughter, she loves it

 

Obligatory for studying abroad in the States! Halloween 2010.

 

Today, I carved a a pumpkin with my best friend for the first time! Nothing very special but it was very funny ^^ Happy Halloween for everyone! Yours, Simon! :-)

Just like it says on the box. Glad I did it.
