When visiting family last year, we were introduced to a whole new world of pumpkin carving. 

I’m normally a ‘triangle and jagged teeth’ type, when carving faces on pumpkins, but I had no idea how creative the professionals could get.

My sister-in-law was born on Halloween and now celebrates it with a vengeance.  Family and friends come over the whole week before Halloween, carving and carving and carving . . .

(Tip: And I learned that if you want an early pumpkin carving to last a few extra days, one trick is to get a big tote full of water and immerse the whole carved pumpkin for a nice ‘plumping’ soak, and it’s as good as new.)

I hope you enjoy taking a look at all the pumpkins.  There are some great ideas here:
