My pumpkin contest entry

sheltiemom · 10-03-2008, 11:18 PM

Ok, this is what I've been doing all week, my pumpkin contest entry for my kids school...afterward people bid on them and the money goes to the school...it's Pikachu, in case you don't know....I'm really happy with it, I thought it would be the worst, but when I dropped it off today, I thought it was one of the best compared to what was there already...

That is awesome! I love Pikachu!

Wow, that is fantastic! We don't do anything with pumpkins around here, so when I saw your thread I thought it would be one of those jack-o-lantern things, where you cut the fact out... anyway, great job, it looks cute.

Nice job!!!

I carved a pumpkin back in middle school that was so detailed it took me 3 hours! Pumpkins are fun. Hope you win!

Lol! You so have it nailed!!

Good luck

Thanks guys! We were told to "decorate" it, so most people painted theirs. There was only one last night that was carved. I'll get some other pictures today...some of them didn't even look like pumpkins anymore. One person cracked theirs open and painted it white to make an egg, someone made Cinderella's coach, which was one of the ideas I considered, glad I didn't do it, and then on the other end of the spectrum, one was just polka dotted and one was painted red with "go red sox" written on it.

Pfft. You've got this in the bag! ^_^

Yeah, the Nemo people enter every year...last year they did Harry Potter with Harry on one side and Dumbledore on the other, and before that was Aslan from Chronicles of Narnia.

And thanks for the compliment on my daughter...she's a really good kid too, animal lover of course.

Pepper · 10-04-2008, 10:15 PM

I agree about the Nemo one !!!!!

You better keep her locked up when she's 16.....
There's gonna swarms of those boys!

Criosphynx · 10-04-2008, 11:16 PM

oh god...i want them all.

K8IE · 10-06-2008, 03:23 PM

I love the Pikachu! I will have to show it to my son when he gets home. Your daughter is adorable!

Rough_Collies2008 · 10-06-2008, 09:43 PM

Wow....you did a great job on that. They are all incredible, I don't know how people choose

sheltiemom · 10-07-2008, 01:07 PM

Well my pumpkin didn't win, I actually don't have a picture of the winner, but it wasn't nemo....Pikachu was auctioned off for $31 though, which I hear was one of the higher prices. Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Filnyyena · 10-07-2008, 02:29 PM

Oh darn

Sorry you didn't win..but at least you helped support a good cause

I hated how my teachers had to buy their own school supplies! I hope this money helps them out..or new text books..or something else along the same lines.

Who won? Like, what did the pumpkin look like?
