Gourd Crafting at the Pumpkin Patch Harvest Festival
Submitted by Pam on Thu, 09/08/2011 - 01:36This young lady would fit right in when Diane and I get together to craft! Total concentration. I love it!
If you are interested, I am simply sharing pictures from the Pumpkin Patch Harvest Festival Craft table that my sweetie and I hosted on Labor Day.
It is amazing to see what kids of all ages come up with - everything from a couple scratchy lines to some very nice artwork.
Gourd Jack-o-lanterns! AND Gourd Ghost Pinatas!
Submitted by Pam on Wed, 09/07/2011 - 18:09Sharing a couple new ideas I came up with for playing with gourds!
This one - my totally cool jack-o-lantern face - could also be drawn onto a fresh pumpkin! Just use sharpies and set aside a little quiet time to doodle to your heart's content.
Definitely will be decorating fresh pumpkins with doodles - they will last a LOT longer than they do when cut!
Even fresh gourds in weird shapes are good candidates! Think about it!

I thought some of you that are new to my blog might appreciate this easy way to find fall crafts!
