Now, I know this isn't the right time of year for Jack O'Lanterns but Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. I also figured that after the ire inspiring nature of my last post we could all use something light and fun. Like most of y'all out there, I started out carving
boring nice, normal Jack O'Lanterns like that cartoon to the left. And then, one Halloween quite a number of years ago, I stumbled across a miraculous thing in the grocery store. It was a
pumpkin carving kit and, for less than $8, I too could create intricate, amazing Jack O'Lanterns. I started with some of the simpler patterns but I've gotten more daring every year. Last year was the most spectacular year yet. Here are a few of my Jack O'Lanterns from the previous few Halloweens...
Harry Potter
Puss 'n Boots from Shrek
a werewolf
I want to try something like this for Halloween 2011 if I am brave enough.

Awesome! I love those Halloween carving kits. We use them all the time. You should totally go for the dragon this year. Will look forward to seeing it come Halloween.
I love Jack O'Lanterns! I only carved my first one about 3 years ago (sad, I know) and then this last Halloween I introduced The Hubs to carving Jack O'Lanterns. He loved it, so it will definitely be a tradition we carry on in years to come!!
I've given you an award! You can stop by my blog to pick it up :D
These are AMAZING!!!
Oh yeah.... I found those kits too. No going back after that.
Your Jacks look awesome.
wow! those are fabulous. I cannot even do anything that cool with a kit. Mine are always lame.
Those are seriously cool. I only have only carved pumpkins a few times but a few years ago I did buy one of those carving kits and did a pretty cool bat pumpkin.
