I used to do very elaborate carvings before having the kiddo...stuff like haunted houses with ghosts and bats flying around and then words on the back, like Happy Halloween, backwards to project on whatever wall I had the pumpkins in front of. They take a long time though. I think maybe when Hannah's a bit older, I'll start doing them again.
