All That Glitters Is Gold

After seeing some of Martha's glittered pumpkins, I wanted to try some for myself. Last year, near the end of fall, I got a few ceramic pumpkins on sale (90% off) at Hobby Lobby. They have just been waiting for the perfect project. So, I got out my Martha glitter and got to work. And yes, you do have to use the Martha Stewart glitter. I couldn't quite understand how Martha could make her glitter so special, but she does. It is so airy, like powder and just has more sparkle.

This project is pretty easy, but somewhat time consuming and very messy. All you have to do is spread glue or Mod Podge on the pumpkin(s) evenly then sprinkle on the glitter. I did my pumpkins section by section for a smooth application. Let them dry for a little while -I let mine dry over night. Just be prepared, the glitter gets everywhere. But, in the end you'll have pretty little pumpkins to add to your fall decor.

Happy Fall!

Giving Thanks

Today was a wonderful day spent with my family. Mama, thank you for cooking a delicious meal (twice)! Daddy and Jamie, thank you for frying that delicious turkey and letting Mama and me take our long nap. Amanda and Matt, thank you for the scrumptious pecan pie. Thank you all for loving me, supporting me and making fun of my wreath above the mirror. I am thankful for you all!

Jackpot

That's what it felt like I won when I caught a few fall crafts on sale at Hobby Lobby this weekend. These goodies were marked 90% off. Can you believe it?!?! I was so excited, I actually forgot what I was originally looking for. What fun I'll have with all of this. And, I only spent about $7. I may do a couple of projects for Thanksgiving this week-I love last minute projects. I'll save the Halloween stuff for next year's projects. Oh, and if you look to the left side of the pic, you'll see some cute turkey napkins I snagged for $0.39. Just in time for Thanksgiving. Gobble is written along the side-too cute! If you have a Hobby Lobby near by, you may want to swing in and see what they have left.
