Larsens go Pumpkin

 Believe it or not, with all of my enthusiasm for the holiday and my love of all things crafty, I'm not a huge "decorate the house for holidays" sort of girl. Maybe if I had the budget...

The sign was $3 at goodwill, the wreath was free through freecycle, and the jars I had laying around the house...am I cheap? Wait, don't answer that. I know I'm cheap thrifty. I guess I figure that if I'm going to spend money, I'll get something I really *need* like new couches, instead of just something I like.

Still, I have to add a least a few touches.

oops, our house landed on a witch! (I blame the haboob). We've decided it's the wicked-ish witch of the southwest, since all the other directions seem to be taken.

We are awesome.

I got this great idea from a blog who adapted it from Martha Stewart, and it was actually really fun to make in addition to being very easy. Roll paint around the inside of a jar and let it sit on the counter for a few days to dry? I can do that. Of course, I don't own a cricut/sizzix/sillouette/vinyl cutting machine so I had to make do. Black sharpie on masking tape cut out with scissors? That's how we do it in Larsenland.

(and I probably just lost any future debate I might have had about needing one of said vinyl cutting machines. Darn my make-do-with-whatever-craftiness!)

I might put treats or something in them later on, but for now they serve absolutely no function. Except awesomeness. And attractiveness. And you just can't charge for that.
