After all I'm just returning from a fabulous vacay! I have sooooo much laundry! (That's it! Made up my mind...Laundry will just wait!!)
But really, if I keep it simple...make it cute...I think I can...I think I can...okay I'll give it a shot!!

Using strips of paper these pretty pumpkins can be put together in minutes! (And laundry will get finished...the hubby will still have clean
First, cut one-inch strips of paper. Form the strips into the circle shape as shown and secure both top and bottom with brads. Hot glue a wine cork for the stem. Finally add a green felt leaf and curled black pipe cleaners.
Sounds good...I can do this...
Recently, I was surfing blogland and found the sweetest decorations for Halloween that didn't use the traditional colors of orange and black. (Sorry, I can't remember the blog's name...I know cardinal sin #1...my bad!) It looked so great!
Any whooooo...I loved the new use of the colors! So classy, so simple, so stylist...
I wanted to make this challenge stylist and sleek! Maybe black and white or brown and blues...
Okay, now to get busy...ummmm...no classy paper stiff enough to form the circles...no brads...no green felt...no black pipe cleaners...ummmm...what to do, what to do?? Don't want to go to the store!
Ummmm...LIGHT BULB!! Blink, Blink!!
I'll use the gift bags that I'm recycling!
Digging some more in the gift stash...these bows will work!
I have wine corks!
No brads? Glue and thumb tacks will work...or maybe paper clips...
Here's my take on the magazine copy cat challenge...
