Pumpkin Carving

One of my favorite things about Halloween is the carving of pumpkins. They're messy as hell, but I always feel so accomplished when I'm done. 

Materials:
Pumpkin
Pumkin carving tools
Scoop or ladle
Carving patterns
Newspaper (to cover the work area)
Tealight candle
Lighter

This one was from 2007, the last time I carved a pumpkin.

This one is from 2006, as well as my favorite. I LOVE the effect from the candlelight!
