Note: I raced to get this done but alas as my first project I had to change some things. So, It's two glowing Menewsha pumpkins (stem removed for access to candle) with sitting with some tombstones in the mud :D I hope you guys like it, I've been working on nonstop for a full week.
I finally finished that too! I'll have to post a pic just so you guys can see how it was supposed to look last year xD
Did you guys notice that it was Menewsha items?
Oh Jeez! I didn't update the Rules when I added in the crafting category!

Your username must be included on a slip of paper for all photo submissions. Photo entries with usernames edited in with photo software will not be accepted.
1 submission limit per person per category for a total of 4 submissions. (that means no mules).
I forget when my family used to carve them when I was a kid but it was usually really close to halloween. I haven't carved one in years though XD kinda sad! :o
I try not to carve them until about 3-4 days before Halloween. If you carve them too soon they tend to start getting puckered and start to look deflated.
I always see pictures of these really intricately carved ones, and I would love to do that sometime. But I think it must be difficult. I should look it up. Maybe they use a pumpkin with a thinner...rind?...that's easier to carve.

Yeah that's a good idea! You don't want a droopy pumpkin by halloween! Oh gosh yes. I always fail at doing the fancy carving ones XD lolol! As I understand it, they use a spoon to thin out the inside after they carve the outside but I always fail at the carving XD
