punkins (and squarshes) galore

Here are some clever and craftily-carved punkins and squashes for your Halloween enjoyment.

(I dare you not to chuckle)

(it reminds me of that critter from The Neverending Story)

(the little guy look genuinely scared!)

(I imagine I'd look a lot like this if I were thrown behind bars...here's hoping I never find out)

(there's a full moon out tonight)

(looks a lot more appetizing than this guy)

(survival of the fittest and all that)

(yoink!)

(just because I love kitties)

Happy early Halloweenie, folks.

    I would love to have a creative mind so I could look at a pumpkin and imagine what cute carving I could make with it. I look at a pumpkin and all I see is pumpkin pie!

    Amazing minds is right. They are too cool. I have seen a couple of these but several are new to me. My Uncle sends that mooning one to me every year. Silly guy. Love the ones with the gourds.

    Wonderful carvings and amazing talent, wish I could be that talented... on the other hand, Halloween costumes and making my kids look gruesome seems to be my venue ;-)

    Those are so cool. I'm going to show them to my boys and see if they can top that. Of course, I'll have to let them use my sharp knife...on second thought maybe I won't show them.

    I thought you'd like the cinnamon rolls! Since Ben already ate all the ones in the freezer, I'm making them again for Christmas. Want me to mail you some?

    These are really fantastic ideas. I like to think of a jack-o-lantern as another way to light candles and make the house cozy... but these take the concept to another level!
