The Last Day of October

November 2, 2013 by Tracey 6 Comments

It's no secret that I'd been ready for October end, but I do enjoy the Halloweening... might as well go out with a loud noise, right? BAM. The other day I talked about getting my costume together, which was fairly easy since I owned nearly all the components already, but the hard part was … [Read more...]

How We Halloween’d.

November 1, 2012 by Tracey

Raise your hands if your house is in a mad-scramble around 4:30 PM on Halloween night? Holy crap, it feels insane. Over here, I had one child begging to put her costume on and sit in the make-up chair from three o'clock, and the other one, halfway sullen about the idea of having to get dressed up. … [Read more...]

Rocking Your Orb Without Swearing – Part II

October 30, 2012 by Tracey

So, you've got your pumpkins all wiped down and ready to go... take a deep breath and just start.

It's easier to carve a … [Read more...]

Rocking Your Orb Without Swearing – Part I

October 29, 2012 by Tracey

Have I ever mentioned how much I enjoy carving pumpkins and such? Well, I do. It's my thing. I love to rock a face out of an orange orb, yes indeed. In years past, I've been commissioned to make some jack-o-lanterns for the likes of hotel or two here in Montreal, but as All Hallow's Eve falls … [Read more...]

The Pumpkins.

November 1, 2011 by Tracey

I don't know what the culprit was, but I had some lousy pumpkins this year. Some were soft, which make intricate cutting impossible. I broke about 5 pumpkins this year, which can really almost make a lady cry, after spending 50 minutes cutting a face, only to have a large chunk of it break off... … [Read more...]

October 31, 2011 by Christine

For the fourth year in a row I was talked into buying 5 pumpkins. One for each of us.  We should each have one.  It's only fair, right?Right...Well for the fourth year in a row I was stuck gutting and carving 5 pumpkins by myself. They always start off excited. They bring their pumpkins … [Read more...]
