Well I went to Cindy's new site (thank you  ) and Hagrid's head is now sitting in my garage, dripping in Vaseline  . I will post a picture when I do the grand lighting ceremony (I can fit four candles in it this year so have your sun glasses ready  ) |

I can't wait to see it!  Please don't forget to gently wipe off the Vaseline before you light the candles -- I'm not sure what would happen if it dripped onto a flame. Zombie Pumpkins now has a Voldemort pattern in the Movie Monsters section. I think it looks better the JP's pattern, but you can decide. www.zombiepumpkins.com |

Well here he is  I have to say I was very pleased with my Hagrid, that was until the first mum said 'Oh that is a great pumpkin of Jesus'. I pointed out it was Hagrid and waved a plastic bat at her . A few minutes later and the next group oooed and aahhhed at the wonderful Jesus pumpkin but I just said it was Hagrid and shook a ghost in their general direction . After about another three Jesus sightings I was starting to question everyone who came to the door like a mad woman - 'Do you know who this is and no it is not a religious icon!!!'. Even the mum that brought her pint sized Harry Potter to the door thought she could see the face of Jesus in my pumpkin But all the effort was worth it when a group of assorted skeletons and cats (very popular this year) came to the door and said they had to see what my pumpkin looked like this year Thank you to Cindy and all the others who have helped me create a little miracle in Rainham  |

Sharon, the pumpkin looks great! I wouldn't have thought it looked at all like Jesus unless someone told me, but I think it look just like Hagrid! Now I'm off to get my little goblins ready for trick or treating (and set up my pumpkins ). I'll have some pics up later tonight or tomorrow, depending on how much the kids wear me out. |

Being an Aussie, we dont really celebrate Halloween...but Ive always wanted to do a pumpkin and this year I actually got around to it. Its only a classic scary face cos Im a beginner, but I was pretty pleased with it. It even enticed a single trick-or-treater to our door last night (and caused a massive panic cos we didnt actually buy any lollies to hand out  ) But here is my effort anyway:  And Bella investigating this unusual item..came out in the morning to find she had rolled it across the lounge room:  |

I like it! It's very evil-looking, but I guess Bella showed it who's the master! My kids are out trick or treating with my husband and his mom, so I had a chance to upload pics of my pumpkins. I really have to get a tripod to hold my camera steady. Chernabog from Disney's Fantasia  Maleficent (as a dragon) from Sleeping Beauty  Headless Horseman  |

Wow, great looking pumpkins everyone! We didn't get around to carving one this year. Maybe I'll carve one for a Thanksgiving certerpiece.
Sharon, your pumpkin looks like Hagrid to me. Well, maybe it looks a little like Jesus...a fat Jesus. Or maybe more like a fat apostle. You could sell it on ebay!

Sharon--I totally see Hagrid! He looks fantastic! Black Cat--That's a wonderfully scary pumpkin! Love the pic with Bella. Cindy--Those are magnificent! The Fantasia one is frighteningly good! Great websites, too! Kelly--I think doing a pumpkin for Thanksgiving would be a great idea! I never thought of that before. |

If I can find a good pumpkin that'll keep until Thanksgiving, I'd love to do a turkey pattern that's in the freebie section of Zombie Pumpkins. You can also carve watermelons -- they're really good for summer parties (plus you can eat the watermelon you scoop out ). The ZP site has Fourth of July, tiki, fireworks, swans, and ocean patterns. |

Cindy those pumpkins are simply amazing  . It is hard to pick a favourite but I think it has to be Chernabog . Kate I think Bella had every reason to be impressed, that is wonderful and I bet it scared the wits out of your solitary Trick or Treater . |

It's that time of year again!  Here's a site that has some free carving patterns. More importantly, in the free patterns section, there are instructions on how to make a pattern of yourself -- you can make a pattern of anything as long as you have a picture of it. http://www.jack-o-lantern.com/This site has some unusual patterns, including Emily Dickinson, Buckminster Fuller, Albert Einstein, and the Last Supper. http://www.pumpkinglow.com/Patterns.htm |
