Halloween Carvings I Love !

The three "figures" leering ? out at you are "us" three here in Kingston .. really !! its true !! Every thing is potentially TRUE and SCARY on Halloween .. our imaginations are allowed to go wild tonight : )
I am running around here trying to get ready and that is frightening enough on its own .. leaving things till the last minute .. I have to post something now (first thing in the morning and my brain is still back in the lab under the label "Abby-Normal" those of you who KNOW "Young Frankenstein will get that ! haha .... meanwhile back at the farm ........

Love those pumpkins. They are so well carved. I must NOT let the hubby see them as he will surely want to attempt one and it looks like they would take all day.

I wish I was talented with the knife, I'd have to try some of these. I especially like the "Nightmare before Christmas" jack o'lantern.

Wow Joy! Those pumpkins are amazing!

Some folks sure are talented carvers of pumpkins. Scary stuff. We never get trick-or-treaters around here for some reason. Guess they figure we're a bunch of grumpy old folks who won't shell out the good stuff. Have a good one, Joy. Still itching. I might bite one's head off if they did appear at the door, so it's for the best.

Wow, these are gorgeous; absolutely cool! I just popped in to wish you a happy Halloween. You must be soooooooo excited about tonight! I hope you're having just as beautiful a day there as we are here. It's sunny and the temperature is warm enough to be able to enjoy the outdoors. We had some really cold days early in the week - and some snow as well! Ack...It’s TOOOOO EARLY FOR SNOW!

Anyhow, have a great time tonight! Don't scare the kiddies too much...LOL...

(P.S - I posted this message a little earlier but I got an error message, which also advised me to post it again. So, if you've received my blah, blah, blah twice, I apologize!

You've outdone yourself! Great post and amazing carvings... what patience and talent that must take. Loved the cat and the door being opened by ghosts.

Have fun handing out candy ~ Deb

Violet .. I think I hear the violen and smell the cigar FB is somewhere in the neighborhood !!

MMD hello there ! .. these are amazing aren't they .. the patience it must have taken .. and a few trial runs at it before they had them perfect ? .. huge wow eh ?

Hi Buddy .. Nope .. not me .. I just collect the images .. I would name the artists but there was no information on who did them .. but I love them and save them .. cheers me up : )

Tina .. you should let hubby give it a try .. you never know .. he may be a great artist in hiding ? LOL .. I would love to be able to do this too .. something to aspire to ? : )

Hi Cameron .. the weather has turned .. the wind is bad .. all we need is a thunderstorm to finish the atmosphere .. but then the little goblins wouldn't make it out either ..BIG sigh !
How is Charm doing ? .. we bought a BIG bed for the girls to share in front of the fireplace .. no sharing gene in either of them ? DAMN !! haha

Gail .. Thanks ! I hate cleaning them out too .. rubber gloves help though. I would love to be able to carve like this .. all I can do is admire them keenly ?
