The little ones can then make tomorrow's blueprints for even more fun on tub, or enclosure, and no harm is done - clean-up is fast and easy. *** And speaking of kids - begin now to make a memory placemat for enjoyment years to come - not only for wee ones but for all adults as well. Take pictures while raking leaves, making costumes, or any Fall or Halloween fun time and include adults and friends or neighbors that just happen to come by. Continue your collection of pictures until Halloween day and make your child or friend, or hustand, wife, or whoever, centerpiece in mat. Add all other pictures around, with date and year on very bottom. Laminate both sides and do this every single year - not only will you see how things change, but laughs and giggles start when years down road, costumes change, people change and even 'ol homestead changes. Everyone enjoys looking back and enjoying moment once again. *** Halloween and every day leading up to this holiday - ENJOY! ©Arleen M. Kaptur 2003 October

Two things happen to pumpkins once you cut them. They dry out and shrivel or they mold Not good! To protect, cover carved areas with plastic wrap, if not using a candle, or with vaseline. Should worse happen and that pumpkin shrivels, don't despair. Soak it in water for 6-8 hours. Use a bucket or bathtub. Let it drain and then dry it very carefully. Come Halloween night your pumpkin will be highlight of your outdoor decor and your artistic talent will shine! For easier lighting, cut "lid" from bottom and fit pumpkin over light, instead of reaching in. A whole lot easier and safer - The Great Pumpkin will be watching so do yourself proud! ENJOY! ©Arleen M. Kaptur 2003 October
