Pumpkins!

I love decorating pumpkins. But I am no Martha Stewart and have no carving ability whatsoever. I think it requires an amount of patience that my ADD-type of personality does not have. Plus, I'm not a fan of pumpkin goop (although the seeds are yummy when roasted) and they don't last very long at all once they are carved.

However, I do love painting and decorating the pumpkins. That is much more my speed. My daughter's like it too because there is no danger of a trip to the emergency room - or less so.

Anyhow, I'm taking my girls to the pumpkin patch later today and I thought I would share with you some great ideas for decorating your pumpkins - doing random searches I found almost all of my favorites at Better Homes & Garden. Oh and I'll apologize now for the puns, but I had fun thinking them up. 

Enjoy!

Golden pumpkins. - BHG

Trick or treat yourself to this large bucket of pumpkins. Create the "dots" with paint instead of drilling holes. - BHG

I'm not a big fan of bugs, but I like these creepy, crawly spiders. - BHG

Cute as some buttons and bows. - BHG

Any kind of paper will do - but imagine using a ghost story... - BHG

Some glitter glue and a few "jewels" make this one of the fanciest webs I've seen - BHG

A feathered Raven and jeweled wire gives this pumpkin its flair. - BHG

WHOO thought construction paper could turn two pumpkins into this cute owl? - BHG

Decoupage some leaves to make this beautiful centerpiece! - BHG

Boo-tiful in black. - BHG

I'm batty over these cleverly painted pumpkins. - BHG

These pumpkins got nailed - with some pretty nail-heads! - My Love of Style

This fancy lettering is a wonderful trick! - BHG

Tulle cute! - BHG

Simple as a game of cat and mouse. - BHG

OK. I realized this is carved. But you can do this same thing with black dots and fuzzy mice cut in half. Cute either way. - BHG

This wins as the Cinderella of all pumpkin transformations. Please look at the "mice"!  - BHG

Hope you enjoyed my pumpkin treats - and that this has inspired you to go get a pumpkin and go all crafty on it. :)
