TA-DAH!!!

TA-DAH!!! Here it is!!! It no longer has falling apart issues!!!! Hurray!!! Last week, I headed up to my DD's bf's grandma's to make pine cone wreathes with bf's mom, grandma and great aunt. We had so much fun. Each of us collected bits of nature to add to the wreathes for a couple of weeks, bought our wreath forms and headed to Grandma O's. They have always used Liquid Nails to adhere the bits of nature but this time we all had issues with the bits falling off. Eventually, we got it all to stick! :-) Hope you like it!

Hanging on my covered front porch. It still needs to be sprayed with gloss but I had to see it hanging! (Click to enlarge)
From This:

Cute little pumpkin baby!

To this..orange goodness!

To this creepy spider with web!!! (DD's pumpkin)

To this scary monster (bf's pumpkin)!!!

To these yummy roasted pumpkin seeds! Soooo good!
The weather is back to being pretty and warm-ish! Oh so happy! I think it should only snow on Christmas Eve! Realistically, this is Michigan but I will enjoy the nice weather while it lasts!
Hope you all enjoy your Thursday! Hugs!!!
Kim

Kim, the wreath is elegant and homey/cozy-looking at the same time. Makes me think of cloves and cinnamon simmering. :o)

I"m back and glad I popped in to see what the "ta dah" is. It looks great. I want one :0).
Those pumpkins look fab! I've never roasted my own pumpkin seeds before. Is it difficult?
Well, I'll bet you all had a grand time doing all the fall type festivities. Enjoy your warm-ish weather. I'm so done with mine :p

I LOVE the wreath! I'm so glad you got it to stay together.

I'm in agreement with you on the weather. I love a white Christmas but hate cold weather. I'll take all the nice days we can get.

How sweet is that!!! Your pumpkins look wonderful!! And so does that wreath. I had one for many years, and like a dufus, I put it in our g. sale as we were moving to this place. I could kick myself now. Guess I'll have to be energetic like YOU and make one.
