I embrace every opportunity to dress in costume, as well! I imagine Diwali is SO AMAZING from the images I've seen. INDIA! Wow ... I just adore that we gardeners from all over the world have access to each other now! Hurray Internet! Thanks for visiting - imagine how much a round trip ticket to my LA garden would have cost! Hey Dollface (I mean YOU, Susan!)! I think you might have just given me my first gazillion-dollar idea! You are entitled to a percentage, of course! Germinatrix Pumpkin Templates!!! WOW - genius!!! And I can't tell you how happy I am that my Underwater Pumpkin came even CLOSE to my pal Euan's Pumpkin-Eating-Pumpkin motif. You should have seen it in real life - it was so perfect and funny! He has a real gift - I might have to partner with him on the templates. You totally HIT the MARK! What an IdeaWoman! XOXO!

I love the whole atmosphere, the lit pumpkins and I'm trying to imagine the smell. I've only ever seen all this in magazines(and comic books) . No Halloween in India. It looks a bit like our Diwali with all the fiery pumpkins (we settle for lamps) but a much more deliciously spooky time. What fun!

He who enjoys Halloween as much as I do! I enjoyed being a Vampyre cat - but I didn't have a name! So next year (I decided I am going to refine my vampyre cat outfit until I actually purr) I will be Vampi the Vampyre Cat! The blood shot was too much fun! I wish I could incorporate it into every evening, but of course, that would NOT be good... best leave it for All Hallow's... I ended up falling in LOVE with my fangs! Everybody should have a pair! They looked really real, and I kind of got used to the lisp and by the end of the night I talked myself into thinking it made me sound like a Vampyre Cat from Madrid. So I suggest that you invest in a good pair of fangs for next year - and buy them NOW, to get that pesky lisp thing dealt with. Not EVERY ghoul can be from Madrid! Holla! Germi! Hi there Dee! I JUST had the last drop of Posole, and it was even BETTER! I wish I could have shared it with the entire garden blogworld - I'd have won MANY friends! Feel free Mary Beth! I'd love nothing more than to find out that there are late night pumpkin carvings popping up all over, with whimsical/scary/ strange/beautiful pumpkin gardens as the wonderful result. I'd be SO HAPPY! DO IT!!! ESP! He who enjoys Halloween as much as I do!

Looks like you had a fun vampyre cat night, I actually had a cat call Vampi once! The blood-"shot" entrance to your party was a great idea, I must remember this for next year! You cannot beat tequila then a bunch of knife brandishing, it just wouldn't be Halloween! Eeek Eeek Eeek Eeek! It looked like you had gnawed a large hole in the side of your pumpkin with you lispy sharp canines! But the effect lit up was actually really good! The dorky-lisp affliction was FUNNY, I always seem to end up with some part of my costume really irritating me as well, I could totally relate to your pain. I usually have on an itchy wig that causes a rash, a mask I can barely see through, a way-too-warm outfit which makes my make-up melt...that sort of thing. Happy belated H. ESP. Hi Germi.

A Pumpkin Carving party is a GREAT way for adults to take a little bit of Halloween back for themselves! The kids can have supervised carving earlier, and then the adults can go wild - and the results are hauntingly beautiful. You should do it next year, definitely! Kat! Hey there! Oh, I try and extend Halloween as long as possible. Next year I might have to do a Carving Extravaganza AND a Day of the Dead Slumber Party! Ambitious? Yes. Odds of success? hmmm... I HIGHLY recommend tequila as a creative 'booster' to the carving! Try it next year! Dear Expat! I LOVE that you've been following the carvings over the years! And anyone that likes pumpkin guts BELONGS at my carvings - we LOVE the freaky! The freakier the BETTER! XO! Tendril, I think you'd have LOVED it - it was SUCH fun! Of course, since I had a tequila shot with EVERYONE who walked in the door, my perception was skewed - but still ... what a blast! And the little James Bond was SO CUTE (but I agree - Daniel Craig would have DEFINITELY gotten some extra candy from me!) Loree my pal! Those shots were out of this world - definitely DANGEROUS and delicious ... right up our alley! Sangrita was a great discovery for this aging goth! And when you come to my house you can have candy AND tequila/sangrita! Any day of the year! XO! Hi Janie!
