Pumpkin carving is great fun. Tips are to allow plenty of time as it is harder than you think. Keep patient. Your fingers will be killing you by the time you are done. Carve on the day you want it and then keep cool and as dry as possible. In Atlanta last year, our pumpking stayed looking good for a good 10 days but I haven't managed to keep one that long in the UK.
We have full Halloween lights up now for the first time here at home. We bought them last year when in Atlanta and decided it was a shame not to bring them home. Cars keep slowing down to look as they go past!! Wish I could post pics as I could share the 'cheesiness'!! |
