How's this for clever? Next weekend we're having a Halloween party and I thought it would be cool for my daughter and her friends to have an activity in addition to the eating and dancing, and touching up of make-up. (They are 11, make-up is a crucial part of the costume!) So I'll announce we'll be "carving pumpkins", and they won't know what I mean until they see the tools. (We'll use safety-kut, I like to buy the teacher packs, pre-cut into 2" x 3" blocks.)
I crack myself up. Carving Pumpkins! Here is a paisley and a plaid pumpkin. I suppose if you used green ink they could actually be peppers.
I was only going to make one or two sample pumpkins....but you can see it's addicting. Need to send Halloween cards? It's not too late to carve yourself a pumpkin. (Supplies can be found at most craft stores.)
p.s. I forgot to mention - earlier this week I got to meet Celine.
She is lovely, full of energy (had to be after this last trip of hers) and a talented and generous soul.
