Pumpkin Carving Date Nite 2008

Included below are results from our pumpkin carving date nite. Click each picture to enlarge it.
Becca's is the classic Jack-O-Lantern face. Mine is the free-hand Sherlock Holmes sihouette (I look down on those who use templates/stencils).

don't hate those of us (me) who have absolutely zero artistic ability and who probably couldn't even do the classic face without it turning into a quasi-disaster.

that's a touchy subject, given that i'm the only pearce sibling to get no artistic ability whatsoever. but i'm not bitter.

oh yeah, and i can barely do one of the stencils correctly!

"For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us." [romans 12:3-6a]

If we were all free-hand pumpkin carvers, then who would be left to, say, make the Christmas pudding?
