If you're like me, you've waited a bit longer to carve your pumpkin so that the darn thing doesn't shrivel up and die before Halloween. Every year I look for inspiration when carving my pumpkins and every year I'm marveled at the creative minds that reinvent this tradition. Gone are the days where you carve out simple geometric shapes to make your basic pumpkin. Now the designs are getting more and more elaborate. Such creative carvings might be a turnoff for some folks, but I'm willing to bet if you're a book lover, you'll see these designs and get a whole new appreciate for your favorite book and those wicked cool pumpkins.
If you're interested in where to get these designs, I pinned most of them on Pinterest.
Take a look here.
Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings
Headless Horseman
Where the Wild Things Are
True Blood
The Hunger Games
Frankenstein
Game of Thrones
Cool huh? Aren't these fun? Well, I'm not sure which one I'll do. I'm kind of partial to the Harry Potter eyes and scar one since it seems a bit easier to execute. Anyway, wish me luck. Have a great weekend.

oh boy, those are all waaay too elaborate for me. Whatever I do it's going to be simple.
I wish I could post a picture in the comments because our German exchange student carved an awesome Harry Potter jack-o-lantern in her first ever attempt at pumpkin carving.
Unfortunately, it was so elaborate and delicate, it faded fast. Now Harry's face is just a shriveled mess.
There's something to be said for the old triangle eyes and nose and semi-circle smile!
These are too cute!
I love that True Blood image...
Good luck with the carving. I remember seeing a really cool Death Star pumpkin. No way I would attempt it though.
These are AWESOME! One year I did Dracula's castle. Very hard but very cool!
