What's Halloween after all, without pumpkins? Here are some of our pumpkins! And yes, those little kits you see really do work, and work quite well to be honest. Well, you be the judge, do they work? One bit of advice for using them is to make sure that you start off by scraping the insides very well, and scrape the pumpkin away so the wall of the pumpkin is only about 3/4 of an inch thick. This makes it easier to control the cutting tool. If your design starts to wilt a little, you can use tooth picks to reinforce the design. To slow the wilting or shriveling down a bit, right after you cut your pumpkin, spread a thin layer of vaseline on the meat of the pumpkin where you cut it, this will seal the pumpkin and slow down the rotting process. Which brings me to the final bit of advice, DO NOT USE CANDLES. Use one of the battery powered lights that are made for pumpkins. They are inexpensive, reusable, safe, and some even have strobe effects, or color changing effects, or both. Candles can cause fires, and if a bit of a costume happens to brush the pumpkin, or fall into the pumpkin, you can easily have a costume catch fire. Use the battery powered lights.

Just ask. Seriously, it's not a problem. No...really. We might want a reciprocal
