Pumpkin Stencils Can Suck It

If I hear “Look at this creativity!” regarding a pumpkin that was carved using one of those paint-by-number-esque carving stencils, I’m gonna lose it. Creativity? You mean tearing it out of the book, and tracing it? Pfft. Call me a snob, but that ain’t creativity. Do these people not know that such stencils exist? Do I need to clear the air? “Ya, it’s real nice. He carved it half-drunk with his left hand using a stencil, but ya… it’s creative.”

Here are the pumkins I painted for our non-contest at my work. Somehow the stenciled pumpkin still got the ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs.’

People mistake perfect execution of a craft kit with crafty and creative. People like vanilla; it’s that simple. If I worked with you, I would have voted for you! :)

I love the first pumpkin, Brooke!!!

And I’m sorry that the guy who stenciled his pumpkin likely half drunk won :O(

But I love your “a little bit bitter” complaint post :O) Don’t they know you’re pregnant??? Pregnant women get to win EVERYTHING. Period. ha ha ha. Just kidding.

Enjoy the day! Try to resist eating every piece of candy in sight. While I’m not a chocolate lover during “normal” times, I’m a HUGE sucker for Milky Way bars when I’m pregnant.

I love the mum-pkin. As for creativity, I agree with Jules. Following a pattern is creative. Making the pattern is creative.
