Years ago, I bought one of those Halloween pumpkin carving kits complete with seed scooper, knives, and stencil. It’s time-consuming but definitely worth it!
The Office pumpkin stencils designed by Ultimate Pumpkin Stencils are so cool, I might have to try my hand at it again. (That’s what she said.)

From Russell:
“I have a couple of pics of Office Pumpkins I carved. I bought the stencils you guys advertised on your site from Ultimate Pumpkin Stencils. I didn’t know if you would want to post the pics in light of Halloween coming up, as well as show how good these stencils really are.
It takes a very long time to carve these!!! I did Kevin and Pam after work from 4:30 PM to about 10:30 PM. If you mess up once, it just doesn’t come out the same.
Dwight wasn’t bad, Pam wasn’t bad (the small pieces for her hair took awhile), Darryl was tough, and Kevin was maniacal! His enormous forehead took all the concentration I could muster.
I think my favorite one is Kevin. He is currently peering through the window of my apartment at people as they walk up the stairs! Creepiest pumpkin I’ve ever carved.”
I will be trying my luck at the Dwight one tonight for a carving contest my work is having.
If you guys have any questions for Russell about his experience with the stencils, please post a comment!
Actually, I have a few questions.
1. How long did it take you to carve each pumpkin?
2. Which one was the easiest, which one was the hardest?
And I love how creepy the Kevin one turned out, especially since it looks like he has a hole in his head. ;)

jmsteeley: Dwight isn’t too bad, and it looks awesome when finished
