Happy Pumpkins...


So...crafting is always better with a friend. We may have bit off more then we could chew today (a total of 8 kids running amuck!) but it was worth it.  We had 3 pumpkin projects we were aiming to finish, but only finished one...more for another day, I guess!  I'm so happy to have something cute on the front porch...need to have fun stuff for every holiday!! (And stay tuned for our great idea as to how to re-use these puppies for Christmas...whoop!!)


Anywho, people have asked for the dimensions, and although I don't really know, I'll tell you what we did.  We took 6 kids shopping to Home Depot (PURE CRAZINESS) and found a steal of a deal of a half sheet of MDF in the Kohl lumber section (*love it!!*).  Brought it home (or rather to Mom's house) and chopped it down...each side is 6 inches wide with varying heights (like probably 10 inches, 15 inches, and 20 inches). Nailed them all together, cut a top (they are hollow on the bottom) and used some left over piece of 1X1 for the stem.  Orange paint, little bit of stain, raffia....ta-da~!  Love it!!
