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?

Danielle (HeadedForTheFuture) says
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! : )

tamara says
I just noticed ur adorable pumpkin ...love the k..u said u cut it out on a circuit machine...what is the K made out of..not sure how it is attached..a newbie to crafting..but I love it
Jessica says
I used black vinyl for the K. You could use black paper or felt and glue it on if you don't have vinyl, or you could print a K on your printer, cut it out and either glue or mod podge it on. Or, you could just draw it on with a sharpie marker or paint it :) Hope this helps! ~Jess
