After a postponement due to some personal issues that took up my attention at the time, crickie and zephirknight's Annual Pumpkin Carve Off for 2006 is now underway! Please take a quick moment to jump over to Crickie's post to get a gander at the two contestants, the owners of which will be revealed once the votes are in.

Put in your vote for the one that takes your fancy.

Your vote counts!

I'm a little slow on this... apologies.

For those of you whom don't already know the results, the winner of The Great Pumpkin Carve-Off 2005 has been decided by you the readers. And the winner with a landslide victory was crickie's Cannibal Pumpkin.

I'd like to offer my congratulations to crickie. She came out with a wonderfully creative pumpkin that really was deserving of your votes, and her well earned title of The Great Pumpkinhead for the next year.

And to all of you that voted, thank you :)

A special thank you to seidhrcat for recognising subtle genius in pumpkin carving.

And as a side note I'd like to mention that as I promised in my post about the competition, the following people should expect a visit from a nasty ogre in the next few days for not voting for my pumpkin: ijk, pacalissanctum, rufushonkeriv, itches, momof4sweeties, aussie_nyc, roboho, gandryyne, crystalsage, gundawg, malakabernmarx, feuders, the_grapevine, and shadesong.

As I told crystalsage, When you see him, be sure to say Hi. His name is Bill. And he likes Blonde jokes. If you make him laugh enough, he may forget about teaching you a lesson for not voting for my pumpkin! ;)
