How To Carve a Pumpkin....
Realtor Style!!!
OK, my dear readers, I know I posted this last year too, but it's just one of those posts that seems to warrant repeating....
Halloween is fast approaching. And that can only mean one thing...
Well, actually it means a lot of things.
But it does mean it's time for pumpkin carving!
So, without further ado, here is a primer on pumpkin carving for those of us in the Real Estate industry.
You can thank me later!
1. Your first step is to pick a pumpkin worthy of carving.
This one is not worthy......
This one is......
2. Cut off the top of the pumpkin. Be very careful with this step as we all know that people in the Real Estate industry are not very good with sharp things!
3. Scoop out the goopy stuff from the inside of the pumpkin.
If you've had a good year, discard it.
If you've had a bad year, save it. You might need to make a meal out of it!
4. On the pumpkin draw the outline of what you want your carved pumpkin to look like.....
5. Cut along the lines of your pattern.Again, be very careful! Refer to the warning above!
Also, try not to make your pumpkin too elaborate. You know you're not very good at drawing within the lines in coloring books, or your contracts for that matter, and this time you'll be using a knife!
6. Insert a lit votive candle into your newly carved pumpkin and replace the lid.
Be careful. Fire can be dangerous!
7. Marvel at what you've accomplished!
