Started off this year with another giant pumpkin... Wish I would have had a drill for the Pumpkin Gutter to thin out the walls as the carve wasn't as clean as I would have liked it. http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/523716_10152174244690004_743125857_n.jpg Just for an idea of size, here ...

Wasn't it a VIP pattern?

The Monster Harvest is ALWAYS worth the extra $$$!

Yes on so many levels. Such a great pairing. Waldorf and Statler i think there names are.

I'm 34. Don't feel like it though!

We had about 25-30 (that's up 5-10 from last year). I saw one of the neighborhood kids the other day and he said he and his friends were talking about my house all day at school. I think I scared him a little. You couldn't tell I was sitting there in the dark.... :P http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hp...

Thanks Ajax. I have a fairly large space to work with so I try and make good use of it this time of year. I also had 2 hanging in a scraggy looking crab apple tree and a couple on the opposite side of the driveway as well. I do have an issue with lighting though. :( Something to work on for next yea...

Monday's carves were as follows: Morty was #12 http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/388577_10150901534670004_531835003_21036114_1591498472_n.jpg Deadite Ash was #13 http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/299001_10150901533200004_531835003_21036101_1803276958_n.jpg Oogie Boogie was ...

So I woke up Sunday morning and went to grab my 4 gutted kins off my deck only to find this: http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/378621_10150898549030004_531835003_21014639_2131118335_n.jpg Then I started carving: Deadeye was #5 http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/383112_101509...

Number 4 was Root of All Evil on a foamie:

This is incredible! And my mom thinks I am crazy! I had 32 or so in my yard (20 foamies and the rest real and all but 2 carved by me)! My hat is off to you!

Fantastic job as always Ryan! Deadeye was one of my favorite carves this year!

I've been too busy carving to post updated photos. That said I carved 6 kins yesterday and I have at least 5 more staring me in the face. I will try to post more later. Happy Halloween everyone!
