Pumpkin carving idea-NON SCARY!

A lifelong crafter, I have always loved Halloween. However, as I grow older, I find myself conflicted about how much enthusiasm I can display for this kid-centric holiday. Is it weird to dress up and walk around your neighborhood at 28? The answer is yes. This year, I gave in a little and decided to host a pumpkin-carving party for my friends. I provided hot cider and donuts as an incentive. Giving in to our inner ten-year-olds turned out to be incredibly fun. I highly recommend it!
Whether you have parties to attend, trick-or-treaters to feed, kids to outfit or not, I hope you’ll pick up a pumpkin and try out these lovely carved designs from Janice Nadeau. Her designs are sophisticated and lovely, and they look great in the day and spectacular at night. While the intricacy may seem intimidating, Janice’s instructions are very straightforward and she’s even included the templates for us, making the project easy as pie. Thank you for sharing Janice, and Happy Halloween everyone! — Kate
