Dashing Pumpkins

Pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere, but not the kind you eat.

With the temps finally below 100 degrees and the baseball post-season in sight, things around my house needed to be a bit more autumnal. I've been crafting up some Halloween goodies lately, so the office has been an explosion of fall colors for a couple of weeks, but the rest of the house--not so much. I love the color orange and decided to focus my attention on pumpkins. I don't like farming (please see post script: Reasons I Am Not Amish), and did not grow pumpkins, but still managed to make them.

Here are the 2 pumpkin projects I did this weekend along with a link to a video showing how to do it.



Now, about those Halloween goodies I was mentioning. Next week, I'll give you a chance to win your very own made-with-love-and-adhesive Halloween craft. In order to win, you need to:
  1. Follow this blog. Don't just look at it. Be a follower!
  2. Not be married to me.
  3. Not be someone I gave birth to.
All other relatives are eligible, mainly because it would alienate a good number of my followers if I eliminated all relatives. A random name will be drawn on 9/30 from all followers (except the hubby and son), but don't wait till then--follow now!

See you next week!

P.S. Reasons I Am Not Amish
1. I like electricity.
2. I do not like farming or quilting.
3. The Amish tend to live in areas that get a lot of snow in the winter.
4. I like to curse.
5. I don't like facial hair on men (or women, for that matter).

The only reason I have to consider the Amish lifestyle is the amazing pies, but I make pretty good pies already, so being Amish is out for me.
