You Don't Know Jack!


Pumpkin 2000 (No time to carve...lots of compliments!)

Pumpkin 2007

Do you know where the tradition of carving Jack-O'-Lanterns comes from? Well check it out... and then you WILL know Jack!

Note to Self: Do not carve designs with very narrow connecting pieces before Beggars Night. This year's pumpkin was carved two days before. This photo was taken the following day and it already had to be reinforced with toothpicks!!! Hopefully that will get it through October 31st, though.

Thanks ladies! The neighbor girls each carved a pumpkin using the Pumpkin Masters designs, too! I wish I would have taken a picture of their four pumpkins! Our condo building put on a pretty impressive display!!!
