My Niece Blings Pumpkins, Too!

My niece, Denise, is a blinger!  

Don't get confused.  We are both named Denise. She was not named after me.  She was born a little before I came on the scene. Even crazier - we have a third Denise in the family now.  Family get-togethers can get real confusing.  It's like a tacky Southern joke!

Anyway, back to the bling.  Check out the FABULOUS pumpkins with bling she made!

In the words of Denise, the Niece ~ I got the idea from a magazine.  They're super easy, and will last year after year.  All the supplies came from Michael's.  Philip [he DH] thinks I need a
job...   The boys [her sons] are less than impressed.  They want a werewolf pumpkin.

Take a Closer Look + OCTOBER Porch & Garden Party

The days are cooler now and the nights have been downright chilly (by Georgia standards).  The flowers are still hanging on.  They look a bit frazzled, but if you take the time to take a closer look, they are still quite pretty.

Maybe, it's a bit like people.  

As people get older, they may not seem all that attractive, 

but if you take the time to get closer to them, 

you might find they are truly beautiful,

in the best sense of the word.

Everyone has beauty if you just look closely enough.

OCTOBER Porch and Garden Party

This is the last Porch and Garden Party for 2010.  

I'm going to keep it open through the whole month!

Fall porches always seem to be a bit exciting, don't you think? 

Feel free to add any posts you create that go along with the theme.

The main topic is, of course, porches and gardens. 

If you make something that would look good on a porch, that'll do.  Sunrooms count as porches.  Anything outdoorsy is good.  Door decor - perfect!  Fall decor - yeah!  If you think your post works with this theme, then it's fine!  Anyway,what kind of a host would I be if I turned someone away from a party? Welcome...  and enjoy!

I'm joining the following parties:

• Outdoor Wednesdays at A Southern Daydreamer 
• Mosaic Monday at Little Red House
• Show and Tell Friday at My Romantic Home
• Friday Finding Beauty at Dipity Road 
• It's a HodgePodge Friday at It's a HodgePodge Life
