Sometimes when I meet a new person online, they send me a personal Halloween photo. The photo might be of them in costume, or decorations on their house, but I've mostly been sent photos of the pumpkins they've carved. I'm sure they think I'll be interested because of my screen name, and they're right! I love being sent photos of personal Halloween memories.
After recently collecting a few of these pumpkin photos, it occurred to me that other people might like to see them too. I felt inspired to create a web site to showcase these jack-o-lantern photos. I think sharing our pumpkin creations will be a fun community activity.
Anyone is welcome to send me a photo of a pumpkin they carved, painted, or decorated! You can send your photo or photos to my email address:
contactartgirl@gmail.com
or you can tweet them to me on twitter:
twitter.com/justine_oct31
The photos you send me will be added to what I'm calling "The Gallery of Jacks" which is housed here:
http://galleryofjacks.weebly.com/
As you can see, there are already some pretty cool pumpkins posted! Anytime you want to see the new pumpkin updates to the site, you can click on the little jack-o-lantern on the side of my blog.
I hope to see a lot of pumpkins from you guys! I'm sure you've all created something cool. I think this will be a fun way to connect with new people and share what you've made!

Awesome! Love this idea. I'll tweet you a photo of a papier mache pumpkin or two. My carving skills are nonexistent.
ReplyDeletePensive Pumpkin ~ Great! I'm glad you're taking part in this. I expected you to participate because of your name! :)
ReplyDeleteDear Lady Justine....
ReplyDeleteI posted a "Shout-Out" about your need of Jack-o-Lantern photos...
I will see if Alex can post a "link" to this post.. I look forward to the many great images that it is sure to contain...
Cute idea! I'll send you some of mine :) I love Jacko's! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd who doesn't love a good Pumpkin? Or Jack?
ReplyDeleteWill look through my photos to see what I might have to contribute...
What a great idea, Justine! I haven't carved a pumpkin in ages - I usually just paint them these days 'cause it's way easier. But I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's contributions! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat idea as usual! M and I carve pumpkins every year. I just sent you the last 3 years offerings.
ReplyDeleteDr. Theda ~ Thanks for the shout-out! :) Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing all these pumpkins together as well. I've been sent some pretty creative ones so far!
ReplyDeleteCountess ~ Great! I look forward to seeing what you have. I'm sure we all love Jack-o-Lanterns. :)
Jeanne ~ Cool! I'm pretty sure everyone reading this loves them. This is probably the best pool of people a person could ask for pumpkin photos!
Insomniac's Attic ~ Thanks! I'd be happy to add your painted pumpkin to the page. I've already been sent some that weren't carved.
wicKED ~ Thank you! I just got your email and am impressed. You both did a nice job. I haven't seen anything like a few of those before!
Cool idea I will look around I know I have a few some place but I must worn you its going to be White Sox and Princess. I did not carve anything this year we did something different.
ReplyDeleteBob ~ Thanks! Haha! A White Sox or Princess pumpkin, eh? Hey, send them both! I've been posting as many pumpkins as people send me. I'm welcoming any decorated pumpkin, so I might be interested in what you did this year too!
ReplyDeleteWe got 800 views ( a Record for the "Crypt" ) on the day that I posted about your new "Jack-o-Lantern" blog , so at least 700+ people hve viewed it.... The best of luck with this new project Dear Lady Justine....
ReplyDeleteDr. Theda ~ Hey, that's cool! Thanks for sharing the info about the new site and for the good wishes!
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea. I am sure I have a picture somewhere in my collection to send you. I will check it out.
ReplyDeleteJulie ~ Cool, Thanks! :) I look forward to seeing what you find.
