:)   The Great Carving Contest begins   :)

 

Post photos of your most magnificently carved pumpkin, squash, gourd, root vegetable or dazzle us with another item carved from your harvest. 

The Rules:

1.  The carving must be by you, your family, your  children,grands or great grands.

2.  The carving must be a 2011 work of art.

3.  The carving must be of a plant matter.

( no carving ham or the like)

4.  You must tag it with The Great Carving Contest and post it to Autumn Beauty.

5.  Photos, posts with photos or essays are all OK.  It would be outstanding to see a series of photos on the work in progress and then the finished carve.

6.  Spooky, cute, funny OK...naughty NO!  This is a family friendly contest.

7.  All entries must arrive by October 30, 2011
