Blazeblogger (that's me, apparently having watched too many political debates of late) is so amped that Blaze starts again this evening that Blazeblogger is bringing you today not one but TWO installments of Meet the Carvers. First up, Millie Feraca.

BB: Tell us something non-pumpkin related about yourself.

MF: I'm a loving grandmother.

BB: Grandmothers are the best. What kind of carvings are you working on for Blaze 2008?
MF: Owls and others.

BB: Can you sum up Blaze in three words?
MF: Fantastic...Greatest...Wonderful!

BB: Agreed. Can you offer some advice for the casual carver?
MF: Take it slow and easy.

BB: What's the best music to listen to while carving?
MF: Whatever helps you.

BB: Got a pumpkin haiku to share?
MF: Sorry, no.
BB: Really, no, Millie?
Nothing to say about Blaze
or all those pumpkins?
MF: Sorry, no.

BB: No problem. What's your favorite thing about Halloween?
MF: Chocolate.

BB: Pumpkin pie...a la mode, no a la mode, or no way?
MF: A la mode? No way.

BB: If pumpkins could talk, what would they say?
MF: I'm tired.

BB: If you weren't spending October carving pumpkins, what would you be doing?
MF: Watching television.

BB: Thank you, Millie!
