Happy Halloween.......

.......and a Trick or Treat to anyone peeking in at my blog today!!

Well, no Tricks here, Just a couple of Pumpkin treats for you....

...better pics, taken in the dark.

Well, my boys are too old to do the Halloween dressing up now, but I still love carving those pumpkins.

I carved the owl creation at the back, using a template found on the 'net.

...and the li'l fella at the front was carved by my li'l fella, Callum (12 years) I thought he did a great job, and still had all fingers intact after hacking away at his pumpkin!!

Saying that, oldest son (19 yrs) is off too a Halloween Fancy dress Party tonight, and asked me this morning to help him with a costume!! ....nothing like last minute requests eh!!

....one more 'ween ATC for you.....

...anyway must dash, Gotta Haloween cossie to make!!

Have a Spooktacular Halloween!

Thanks for looking!
