So I am curious as to how everyone carves their pumpkins. Do you free hand, find a stencil at the store in a book, print one of the internet onto paper, etc?

I do a little of all. One year I had freehanded, and then last year I had printed me off something on my printer paper. I cannot remember what I had done. lol.

Ho man, I haven't carved one in YEARS!
It seems like there are so many kits these days, with stencils and such...

I tried to carve a pumpkin a couple of years ago but it didn't turn out too well =/

I didnt buy pumpkins this year :( but i did see some awesome carved ones though :)

i didn't buy any pumpkins either

I'll draw the design on the pumpkin first and scratch off the top layer of the rind for the bits I'm cutting off (to get an idea of the whole negative space thing).

I sadly didn't carve or buy any Pumpkins this Year :(

I was going to use a power drill this year. Never got a chance to carve my pumpkin though >: I'm trying to think of something I could carve it into for Thanksgiving.

That sounds really creative, in Canada we celebrate Thanksgiving in October so we already had our Turkey Dinner.
But I think late night turkey and ketchup with some salt on it is the best late night snack ever when watching television.
