Over the years my sister and I have carved many pumpkins. Generally we use the PumpkinMasters patterns, but I have a mad creative streak that induces me to create my own patterns or search for others online. Below are many of the pumpkins I've carved over the years. Some I loved, others, I wonder what the heck I was thinking. I had to dig through many boxes of my mother's photos to find these, as she seems to document EVERYTHING. There are, however, one or two that I had to guess were mine.
