Make your own PHOTO Pumpkin!

I thought this might be a good time to repost a fun project that I shared last year. After all, Halloween is right around the corner, and the stores are full of faux pumpkins right now, so it seems like the perfect time!


So gather up some of your favorite Halloween photos of pets...


... or children...


... or both!


....and then click HERE for Step-by-Step instructions on how to create your own PHOTO PUMPKINS!! (What a great gift for a grandmother - the little ones all dressed up in their trick-or-treat costumes!!!)
Now pop by to see Cindy at My Romantic Home for her Show & Tell Friday post and a list of all the other bloggers participating!
Happy Autumn everyone!

Cottage Halloween Decor...

No orange pumpkins here... but if pink with white polka dots is to your liking, or maybe blue, green, or creamy white, you've come to the right place!


I'm happy to report that the photo pumpkins I made last year survived just fine after being stored in the backyard shed since last October (through the New England extremes of a bitter cold winter and hot, humid summer)...


These three photo pumpkins are being displayed on the little 3-tier garden table I brought in from the deck....


Spotty enjoyed a warm afternoon in the bay window yesterday while keeping the lamp bandit company...


Patience is sporting a pumpkin on top of her lampshade for Halloween...


... and some of my other fabric pumpkins from Ronda's Tempting Textiles shop are lining the entry steps of our little split level cottage...

So that's the extent of the Halloween decor inside the house this year. If you'd like to make your own photo pumpkins, here are the step-by-step instructions from last year...
Hope you're all enjoying the beautiful month of October...
