Welcome Autumn
A year ago this time, I was anxiously awaiting the birth of my baby girl and needed some small projects to take my mind off of the guessing game of when she might make her debut. I had seen others writing messages on pumpkins and decided that the most appropriate message for us would be, “welcome,” since we were eager to welcome our sweet girl. I bought the mini pumpkins and stamped on them using my largest Alphabet set from Close To My Heart. I then filled in the letters with a small sharpie (since stamps don’t always work best on rounded surfaces). I’ve seen others use vinyl, paper, or freehand marker to spell a festive message with pumpkins. So many options! I even saw white pumpkins at Walmart the other day. And painting or decorating a pumpkin with out carving it, means it has a much better chance at withstanding the Phoenix heat! I love the promise that Autumn brings (triple digit temperatures can’t last much longer)!
Stay tuned for many more seasonal posts to come! I am working on witch-themed party ideas for a friend, and lots of costumes ideas, etc.
HAPPY OCTOBER!
Oh, that’s dang cute. I know just where I’m going to use this idea.
Cuuuuute! Is that your photo? It’s so pretty!!
I will definitely be trying something like this out. We’ll see if it comes out even remotely as cute as yours!
That is a great project.
Happy October to you! Thanks for the great idea!

I think you win when it comes to throwing a kids d-day party. I have never seen so many incredible rocket ideas. How are you ever going to top that one? Your son is very lucky to have you for his mommy!

What a sweet idea! I also like how you’ve arranged the pumpkins…more interesting than having them sit all in a straight row. 🙂
What a great idea! I’m going to scout out some mini pumpkins now. Thanks!
Those are freakin adorable!
Nice photos..! Woohoo for October.. Happy Halloween.

My mom sells Close to My Heart, so she will be all over this idea!
