    My husband was walking through the room, stopped to look at what I was viewing and said: “That’s good enough to win a laptop”. Confused? I was until he said that you have to post a picture of the pumpkin you’ve carved to be in the running for a number of different prizes. He can’t remember where he saw it — not being into pumpkin carving — but I expect you could find it!

    I probably could find the link, but please make sure that he knows *I* didn’t carve that pumpkin!! I wish I had…that’s one of the beauties that Lee Valley Tools features along with the instructions in the link above :)
