pretty pumpkins

i thought i had seen it all when it came to pumpkin decorating, but i am continually amazed at all of the pretty things i continue to see in magazines, blogs and pinterest.
here are some of my favorites:

puff painted---

faux bois with marker---

chalk paint--

covered in lace---

spider web with yarn---

decoupaged--



simple scroll---
country living

i always have the best intentions to do something *cool with our pumpkins, but usually, my pumpkins end up looking like this:

this is what happens when you leave your very creative husband and 3 kids to decorate
 the family pumpkin...(but DO notice the attention to detail---the finger carrots and the cherry tomato eyeballs? pretty good stuff.)
