hi, libi. i just wanted to thank you for this pattern. i, too am a devoted believer and am not that interested in jack-o-lanterns. as a fifteen year old, i can say that i homeschool, but do not yet homeschool any kids(except my siblings). i am going as cinderella this year and was wondering where i was going to get a white pumpkin treat sack. thanks for giving me an inspiration. i'll post a pic of it on my blog, digthesethreads, when i'm done with it. thanks! :)
