Getting My Craft On

I’ve been housebound for two days and wasn’t able to sand or paint.  Rather than being completely unproductive, I decided to get my craft on.

By now you all have the Country Living magazine (or have seen it) that shows how simple it is to decorate a pumpkin.

I have scrapbook paper, Mod Podge, brushes and extra faux pumpkins.

So, I start.  Soon to discover, it ain’t that simple!

I cut the paper into strips and it still bubbled!  It bubbled everywhere!

So, I try another.

More bubbles.

Still at this point I am determined.  So I grab my last pumpkin.

Yup, it bubbled.  It’s clearly me, since they look perfect in the mag.

If you plan to give it a shot, you need 3-12x12 papers.

I am keeping them and will display them up high so no one can see the details!

I did pull out my blinged out pumpkin from last year (just to make myself feel better).

So cute.

And a message on a bottle:

Oh yeah, I successfully made a banner.

I am not a complete spaz, I just cannot wrap a pumpkin in paper!

If you try this yourself, let me know how it turns out!
