Chadds Ford Pumpkin Carve (part 2)

October 29th, 2009 | Posted in Jennifer MacNeill-Traylor

These are not my pumpkins but I thought I would share. After I carve my pumpkin it’s nice to get around and look at others. The crowds are huge though so it’shard to get up close and get a steady shot.

The first one below won Best Overall and I knew it would as soon as I saw it!

Ice Age 3

October 24th, 2009 | Posted in Jennifer MacNeill-Traylor

A post or two back I mentioned that I would be carving pumpkins for the dvd promo release of Ice Age 3 this weekend. Part of the arrangement was that I bring a precarved pumpkin with the dvd cover on it. Well, I’ve worked my magic today and after several hours have it completed. They didn’t want me to gut it so you won’t be able to see it lit. They always look so much better with a little fire!

I’ll be at Winding Brook Farm on Saturday and Sunday and maybe on the Philly news too. We’ll see!

Chadds Ford Great Pumpkin Carve (part 1)

October 24th, 2009 | Posted in Jennifer MacNeill-Traylor


Oh boy, I am so tired I can barely hold my eyes open! I just had to share some photos of our pumpkin at the carve tonight. We won’t know who the winners are until Friday.

Zoe sitting with our pumpkin. She thought it was important to share her Ariel lunchbox.


I’ve got my drawing on. Now I’m ready to carve!


My Mom hollows out the back and puts in the candles. No easy task, it takes just as long as the front design.


Has a ghost from the Brandywine Battlefield shown up?


No, that’s just Zoe and I!


But a real witch did show up to pose with my pumpkin!


Turn the lights off and the real magic begins!

Newtown Square Pumpkin Carve

October 12th, 2009 | Posted in Jennifer MacNeill-Traylor

Here are some photos from the pumpkin carving contest I participated in today. There weren’t many carvers since this is the first year, but the ones that came did a very good job. My Headless Horseman carving took 2nd place – $50 and I got to bring my pumpkin home! I wasn’t expecting such a nice prize. The best part of the day was meeting all the wonderful people that put this event together and talking with the people as they walked by.





We were awarded with a gorgeous sunset on the way home!

Pumpkin Carve Part 2

September 18th, 2009 | Posted in Jennifer MacNeill-Traylor

Since so many people enjoyed my pumpkins yesterday, I thought I would share some more pictures from the Chadds Ford Great Pumpkin Carve. These are not my pumpkins and I’m sorry I don’t know who carved them. If you happened to be the carver of one of

these pumpkins, let me know and I’ll give you credit!

Pumpkin Carving

September 17th, 2009 | Posted in Jennifer MacNeill-Traylor

I love to carve pumpkins, the bigger the better. Every year, for the last 5 years, I’ve competed in the Chadds Ford Great Pumpkin Carve with my mom. I’ll be there again this year if you want to check it out. I’ve also been invited to carve at Newtown Square Harvest Festival this year on October 10th, how exciting! Here are some pictures of the pumpkins we’ve carved with my original designs…
