Do you lack pumpkin carving talent?


Why not keep it simple this year? Martha Stewart suggests converting your pumpkins into "mouse motels."

After picking up a dozen or so plastic mice from you closest halloween store, carve peep holes for them in your pumpkins!
I've also seen cute ideas in Good Housekeeping: (Honestly, I didn't subscribe to this magazine...it just started coming one day...and hasn't stopped. I don't get billed, so I can't complain)- take black polka dot or other simple black and white ribbons and tie them around the pumpkins.

Smaller pumpkins and gourds make great centerpieces for your dinner table. I filled a clear vase with colorful, non-uniform gourds for my table.
