Pumpkin a la Sparkle!

I got this idea from The pink Tutu. It was such an easy and fun project and cmon who doesn't like glitter??!! 

So to start with..I bought two fake pumpkins from Michael's for approx 10 dollars on sale and then I bought Martha Stewart's Glittering Glue and Glitter in Fire Opal..I can't remember how much I paid for those but I'm not sure not more than 10 dollars or so. 

My pumpkins before....

Here is the glue and glitter I used

I just used Dollar Store craft paintbrushes to brush the glue. I didn't put a lot of glue and it spreads pretty well. The fun part is putting the glitter on. I pressed on the glitter a bit after to make it stick on better. Also, I used an old cookie pan with wax paper to put the pumpkin on it and to put the sparkles to lessen the mess. Although, I'll be honest with you guys, there are sparkles that are going to be on your floor, the cat, my shoes, socks, etc.

And now to the finished product....

Redo of my scarecrow wreath

Remember this cutey from http://tamarasrandomrants.blogspot.com/2010/09/must-do-redo.html.

Well I took all your suggestions in consideration and here's the final product. A little bit of leaves,berries, lots of glue from my trusty glue gun and Voila!

Happy Thanksgiving

It was Thanksgiving weekend for us Canucks and boy did I love it! Turkey and pie and all the fixings, OH MY! I hope all my fellow Canadians had a great weekend also!

Must do a Redo!!

My wonderful fiancee bought me this cute wreath last year, unfortunately some of the wreath fell apart doing our move this summer so I'm thinking this cutey needs a redo, upgrade, face lift..you get the picture! I thought of taking off the scarecrow and just use the wreath, what do you think?

I love my pumpkin from Winners on my mother's carnival glass dish! The hurricane vases are from Pier 1, got them on sale at Christmas time and the filler in them, which smells lovely by the way, is from Home Sense (something like HomeGoods for my American gals).

This lovely swag is a Dollar Store find, loves it!

This cutie is from Micheal's, love the color combo, don't you? There's my fiancee's god daughter in the background, isn't she adorable?!

Pitcher from Home Sense for 14 dollars and flowers from the Dollar Store, reminds me of wild flowers from a field...

More to come soon, I bought a couple of grapevine wreaths at Michael's and 25 dollars worth of flowers and leaves, etc at the Dollar Store.  Stay tuned Classy Gals!!!
