As a photographer I spent a lot of time doing two things:
(1) Rubber necking while I'm driving to find new locations
(2) Coming up with 'brilliant' ideas for themed photo shoots...
I found this pumpkin hat while getting the kids' Fall gear out of the loft and I thought to myself, "Ooooh, this is going to be fun!"
And, so, the story goes on-- I bought this pumpkin at the craft store with the idea that it was hollow. I mean, it WAS lite enough to be a hollow pumpkin. As soon as my husband saw it, he said, "Babe, that's going to be hard to carve." My response? "Babe, it's hollow, silly."
I marched over the kitchen and grabbed a knife.......And......to my surprise, my hubby was right. It was one solid piece of HARD foam. I definitely wasn't strong enough to finish this project. I thought about asking the neighbors to borrow their electric carving knife. I thought about just letting the money I spent on the pumpkin go to waste. --No worries, my husband saved the day!!! He spent a good 30-45 minutes carving this pumpkin out with a kitchen knife. Their was foam everywhere! I am so grateful that he was able to 'save' my 'brilliant' idea!
Women, thank God for our honey's!!! ;-)
Even if I don't place in this contest, it was still fun submitting the photo! Cheers to a wonderful Fall season!
