- I am a small-town, Southern gal. I have been married to the love of my life for 24 years, and have four wonderful kids...a 21 y.o. daughter and a 10 y.o. son, and also a son and a daughter already in Heaven. We are members of The Church of Christ and are trying to raise our children to be faithful followers of Christ. I am a phone triage nurse for a busy OB/GYN office near Atlanta, but spend most of my time at home in Alabama with my family. We have just built a house after living in our "starter home" for twenty years. We did a lot of the work ourselves, and still have a TON of work to do. I love to be "crafty", but am often guilty of buying all of the supplies to make something, and just never finishing it. "Not finishing things" seems to be a theme with me, hence the word "Slacker" in my blog title. I am hoping this little blog will motivate me to complete the tasks I've started!

ReplyDeleteThat is a perfect idea! Will be copying that !
ReplyDeleteIt's been awhile since I got to sit and browse blogs. Your's is getting all professional looking on me!!!! Guess what? LOVE your pumpkins!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the monogrammed pumpkin! Did you do it free hand or with a stencil?
ReplyDeleteCinlo, I found a font I liked using my computer's word processor. I played around with the correct size (just printed out the letters and held them up to the pumkins to see what would work the best). Then, I printed my letter out in "mirror image". Once it printed, I took a pencil and colored in the letter. (I'm sure a transfer pencil or carbon paper would have probably worked better, but a pencil was all I had at the time) Once the letter was all penciled in, I put the penciled-in side against the pumpkin, and RUBBED HARD all over the letter. That transferred the pencil marks onto the pumpkin. I then took a paint marker (got it at Wal-Mart in the craft section) and painted over the pencil transfer.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds really complicated, but it literally took 30 minutes to do both pumpkins.
Oh, and the paint markers worked really, really well! It was almost like they were made to paint on pumpkins.
I hope that helps!
Thank you, Robin! I bought a faux pumpkin & paint pen today. Going to try it tonight or tomorrow. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Your pumpkin topiary is just beautiful! I want one too!!! LOL! Thanks for sharing! -April
