Carving Pumpkins

Some tips that reached me:
Stencil the design onto the pumpkin or freehand with sharpie pen. Also, you can press cookie cutters to make the design.
If you use a dotted-design, use an electric drill.
To keep the pumpkin fresh, rub with petroleum jelly.
Made a mistake in cutting? Reattach with stick pin, push pin, or toothpick.
A neat inexpensive substitute for the candle is a battery operated candle. Some votive style are about $6 per 5 candles and can be used into Christmas.

Happy Halloween!
