Pumpkin Carving Contest - Enter Yours

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Professionals MN Broker #40288835

 Since some of you are super crafty, I thought we should have a contest on pumpkin carving.  Enter your photos or the kids  pumpkin photos, and after the October 31st date, the team at Re$ale Design will pick the winner and list them in a blog update.  Remember like Drew Carey, the points don't count - it is strictly for fun.  Here is our non-competing entry and one from Peggy Trowbridge Fillippone from About.com and her instructions on pumpkin carving .

Our entry was carved by my daughter, Ashley Bast, local Brainerd Lakes Area artist  and a member of the team at Re$ale Design and Home Staging. We are starting on our season of Holiday decorating and event planning.  If you would like something out of the ordinary for your home or parties this year - contact Re$ale Design and Home Staging. We have a staff of experienced servers and know how to put the WOW in decorations.  Planning a theme wedding? Hosting a Holiday  party at your home? Do you just need ideas?

                                             Office decor and so much more!

Kathleen, What a wonderfully talented family you have! Ashley's carved pumpkin is fantastic. Thanks for showing us. If we get the 2 year old into Papa led carving we will show the results. Could be fun.

Kathleen - Those two pumpkins up there were done by a couple of serious pumpkin carvers!  I was planning on doing one, but it won't be carved...I'll see if wee one want's to carve one.  Mine will be 'bejeweled'

Jackie - Taking the competition up a notch, I see and your plan is to bedazzle the judges.

We are not easily swayed, but we do like glamor and glitter.
