Jesus Loves You Jack-O-Lantern

Thankfully my allergy medicine is kicking in a little bit.  My nose is still running like a sugar tree, but I am seriously dehydrated everywhere else, so I guess that's something. 

Anyway, during the short reprieve of my miserable existence that I got last night for about a half an hour, I finished the 'Jesus Loves You' Jack-O-Lantern that Ty and I wanted to make.  I sat up Friday Night and drew out the pattern (what?, what do you do on your free weekends? ....date?! that's crazy!) , but I hadn't had time or hadn't felt like carving the pumpkin since then.

I think it turned out fairly well.  Well enough anyway.

I think I may take it down to church to use on the Registration table for Trunk or Treat in October.

    That is so impressive!

    We have a Fall Fest in our church each halloween (as an alternative) and this would be perfect!

    Here in N Ireland we have only had pumpkins in the last 10 years or so. Before that, and certainly when I was a child - we had turnips! Have you tried hollowing out a turnip with a metal spoon? It takes hours!!!! I could not believe how easy it was to do with a pumpkin when I finally got my hands on one!

    Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you. My son and I came up with several different ideas for a religious themed pumpkin, but this was my favorite.

    If you want to really skip out on the work and mess of carving, buy the foam pumkins. They make it a breeze!! AND they don't rot after two weeks. :)

    This is amazing!! Here in the UK halloween isn't really a thing you do if you're Christian. There's a long occult history etc etc it's not so much of a kids holiday. I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for keepuing the side up!!!

    Thank you! I know there are a lot of Christians here in the U.S. who feel the same way. That we shouldn't celebrate Halloween. But I believe that its another opportunity to witness and share God's love. An opportunity when it may be least expected.

    Thanks for stopping by!
