Colin's Pumpkin Creations

Since we just bought our house and had been living in an apartment for 2 years, we didn't own ANY fall decorations. I haven't really had the time or money to purchase decorations this year so pumpkins it was. (I am waiting till everything goes 50% off after Halloween before I shop for next years decorations)

I'm very lucky to have such an artistic husband. We bought 4 pumpkins and only 3 are carved so far. Colin has carved all 3 because if I did one and sat it next to his, it would look like a 5 year old did it. I do want to add that these were all hand drawn, no stencils used!

Below are our only fall decorations but I brag on my husband because I think we will have the best pumpkins on the block this year! (I'm sorry the pictures aren't the best, I took them with my iPhone)

Happy almost Halloween!

I had people comment on Facebook that Colin should do a tiger so I thought I would add this picture of pumpkins he carved a few years back. Mine is in the middle...can't you tell :0)

WOW! Those are amazing! My husband and I have a carving contest every year (I always lose!) and these designs are great--I especially love the SC Palmetto Tree/Moon one!

Your husband is super talented! Oh my goodness!! Those pumpkins look like something out of a magazine! I am so very jealous! But I'm with you on having my pumpkin look like a 5 yr old. I have zero artistic ability which is bad because I would love to do all these crafty cute things I see on other peoples blogs. You can give me the same supplies and I will follow directions down to the last detail and my project will still look ridiculous! Have a great week! -April
