This is a new old post…what? This is a picture of my first and still my favorite blog craft ever. This little pumpkin ignited a creativity in me that I thought was long gone. You see, last year, I started this blog. I’m not sure why…I think I was bored. I started ranting writing about trying to get my children to eat healthier meals, then I wrote about moms that aren’t nice to each other, then I ordered a Cricut machine because I saw one on QVC. Ummm…that’s how this little blog came to be. All because I ordered a Cricut machine in the fall. I had no idea what I was going to do with said Cricut, maybe cut out Kate’s name really big and place it above her bed? But it was such a good deal, and I only had to pay a few payments of not very much, so I went all in! Then it came via UPS one day. Now what? What in the world do I do with it now that I have it? Well, I had this little white pumpkin that I bought from Mr. Peyton (the Lexington Mum Guy). So, maybe I’ll cut out a cute little k and stick it on there. I cut out my k, and stuck it on my pumpkin, then tied a little orange bow on the stem. And OH MY CUTEST PUMPKIN EVER! Then the crafty floodgates opened.
So, why am I posting this pumpkin again? Well, it feels like Fall to me, and Mr. Peyton hasn’t got his pumpkins out yet, so this is the only pumpkin I have, and it’s only a picture, but now I can look at it again. And, since only 4 or 5 of you read my blog way back then, I wanted to share her with you…K?
Such a cute pumpkin! I’m so glad you started your blog because of the cricut machine. It’s awesome. :) Megan
I adore this. It’s PERFECT. I would share that Qt again too!!!!
So very cute! Hopping over from SNAP’s linky party! I sooo need to get me a cricut machine. There are so many projects I see that I can’t do because I don’t have one! :)
Your pumpkin look so cute. Love it.
I HAVE to make one of these! I’m going to pin it so that I don’t loose the image. Your photography is so great!

I love your monogrammed pumpkin, super cute. ;o)
Love this! Someone told me that if you rub the pumpkin with clorox first, it will last longer. I’m not sure if it’s true or not, but I may try it this year!
I plan on making these classic pumpkins this year! : )
I love this!
