It’s October 24th – ONE WEEK UNTIL HALLOWEEN! I am SO EXCITED! I’m going to a pumpkin patch today to pick out some pumpkins to carve up! Can you tell I LOVE carving pumpkins? I mean, if you haven’t seen my other two posts on pumpkin carving tutorials, you most definitely should take a look to ensure that you have the perfect ideas for your pumpkins this year!

Why am I providing you with all of Better Homes and Gardens’ links, you ask? Why don’t I just give you the links to the Better Homes and Gardens website? BECAUSE – in order to view ALL of the pumpkins, you have to literally click on each link. Here, you can directly go to the pumpkin or gourd tutorial that you are interested in, without wasting a ton of time searching for the perfect one!

The first section will focus on carved pumpkin and gourds, and the second section is a whole bunch of ideas for no carve solutions.
