Crazy...

Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. -John Quincy Adams (a distant relative of mine! :D )


OK, if you Ever hear me say "Wouldn't it be cool to cover a _______ with a bunch of little pieces of paper?" SLAP ME!!!!

I saw a blog post (if you can link me to it I would appreciate it, lost it now) with a patchwork pumpkin and I just Knew I could do one, so I looked around for a pumpkin...and being the cheap Frugal Scot that I am I decided to go for the one that was 40% off...well, for 40% off you get one that is Very detailed, the ridges and valleys are Very defined, so...2 1/2 hours and half a bottle of Decoupage Gel later I had it covered, left it over night hanging by some ribbon to dry all over, sanded, sponged and distressed...Here it is:
