...when there are 6 members (minus visitors) on the site at once! LOL

Has anybody started to make their final lists yet?

[CorpseBride]

I know right! I can just imagine what this place will be like about a week before Halloween.

As for lists...do you mean carving lists?

[reignman40]

I've already carved 5 foam 'kins. Got 1 more I know what I'm carving and not sure on the massive Michael's one I have.

I am waiting to see what ZP comes up with over the next couple weeks before I start trying to decide what patterns I'm using for real pumpkins.

[Tkaraoke]

Yuppers! I usually start making my list and checking it twice! LOL

So far I've got:

Zombie Pumpkins:

Sandy Gause
Ninja Turtle


Jammin' Pumpkins:

Bat Flight
Marvin The Martian

[balsak40]

Just finished the crimson ghost and now am working on the headless horseman (Heads up).

All foam of course!

[sodajazz]

I can never make a list from Zombie stencils, because just when think I've got it sorted Ryan goes and throws another stencil out

Every year I carve more and more

[CanadianCarver]

I agree. Just when you finally have your list complete, another "must carve" stencil comes out!

I'd like to carve 10 real pumpkins this year so normally I like to reserve 2/3 of those spots for patterns I've ben wanting to carve all year. Gotta save that last 1/3 for those new patterns that spring up at the last second.

I agree. Just when you finally have your list complete, another "must carve" stencil comes out!

Same here... Plus I usually carve as many new stenils as I can... So i don't make my list until three days before Halloween...

[CorpseBride]

I usually don't make a list because it always changes anyway. So on the day I decide to carve I just surf through my stencil book and carve whichever one catches my eye.

So far this year I have carved:

Beetlejuice
The Crow
Freddy Kreuger
Stubbs The Zombie
Horton

I think I am going to stick with the movie theme I had going and to Michael Myers and possibly Chucky....we'll see what happens when my carving finger itches again...probably tomorrow! ha ha!

[Liderc]

Honestly I think I'm going to wait until the day before halloween. Last year I carved like 5 days before and had 2 go bad the day before, they were still usable but not perfect( I'm a perfectionist freak). So just going to have to wait it out and carve all 4-6 ( I only carve real) the day before halloween and day of. It'll be good because they'll be fresh and I wont run into a problem with a new pattern coming out.

[Cheef]

first, im totally guilty of being a seasonal poster here. i do check it from time to time through out the year, but theres not much going on. i will strive to be more regular during the "off season"

As far as pumpkins. I havent picked out any so far except Sandt Gauze and Horton. I will end up doing probably 10 - 12 ZP's when its all sid and done and try not to get too attached until i see everything Ryan is putting up..

[CanadianCarver]

belli,
How many pumpkins are you carving this year? You have a total of 15 "to carve" and "in the running patterns". Just curious what the list would have to be narrowed down to.
