The story behind those Pumpkins

One of my latest posts was about my Halloween/Autumn painted pumpkins home decor.

This is how some of it went Pre-Painted  behind the scenes:

 

 

Pumpkin Deco Luv

I love pumpkins. Every year I wait for my favorite season of Autumn and the apple cider, colored leaves, crisp air, cozy cocoa days, baking, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Best of all PUMPKINS!

The greatest thing about pumpkins other than the cozy feeling they give me just looking at them is they are a wonderful and inexpensive pallet to paint or use as an artistic tableau.

So this is the result of my pumpkin endeavors this year:

(Oh and I thought I would use this for:Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge.)

Pinterest does Pumpkins

As I mentioned over @http://ceenphotography.com/ earlier, pumpkins are my favorite thing that happen during the year.

Today I have been pinning pumpkins off and on onto Pinterest. It is amazing how the designing and doings with pumpkins have changed over the years. Here are some creative, cool and different ones I found today on there. (Non of these first photos are mine.)

As you can see i am pumpkin happy. Now here are a couple of my own making and photos: 

Little pumpkins my kids did a couple years back. They are so creative. Used whatever they wanted to make them their own. I was so sad when they rotted, though they lasted almost the whole year.

Beautiful apple gourds. When I took the photo it had lost a lot of it’s glitter. It was supposed to harden and dry so I could keep it. maybe Missouri is too wet because it molded after about a year also.

I love my yarn pumpkins. I made a white one to go with these this year.

My first go at a “pop up” card. Of course I could not resist trying this when I saw it was for a pumpkin.

^Lots of help for the Fall gatherings for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Fun and Food.

I am working on having a little Halloween get together. I also am making a paper mache pumpkin. I really want to try my hand at another pop out pumpkin card since the one I did ,  I had to use paper that was not what worked as well as the direction had you use. I got better paper now. I also did some other things  I want to share here, so hopefully I can post more fun stuff soon. (Look for these coming posts.)

P.S. I also see some other blogs with some cute pumpkin ideas I want to skip over and visit. Thanks for reading and looking .
