I decided to make pumpkins from old books like my
sister-in-law did. It was very easy and fun. I just folded back every page, then cut out a face from black construction paper. Mine are very plain
compared to some of the ones I've seen. I think they go well with my new candlestick that I got at a family yard sale. The candlestick is partly made from marbles that someone glued onto it. Very creative on their part. It was this color when I got it and I'm going to leave it this way. My dogs ate the mouth off the lower pumpkin :o( or should I just say :o

Meg, they look great I absolutely love that candle stick. I lost my spiders for mine, yours look so good on there.
That is a very unique candlestick. And the color is great.
Looks like you're having fun too.
came across your blog. I love the book pumpkins. I must do some. So-do you use any paper back-and is there a trick?
I love your windows as well. I am a lover of old windows-they are all over my house. I wanted to tell you what I found that hangs heavy stuff-you don't need a husband, a stud or even a hammer and a nail!
Maybe you have heard of them-if not go and get some. They are Hercules Hooks. Each hook will hold 150 lbs. You just push them in the wall and twist! A girls best decorator friend! You can get them at walmart-but they are kind of pricey-Dollar General has a knockoff-20 hooks for $3.00! These would work great for your cute green mirror! Please stop by and say hi! Love making new smart suepr cute friends!
LOL at the dog eating the mouth! ;) Which dog would that be?
Love the candlestick!

Hi, Meg. Thanks for coming by my blog. Regarding the chalkboard... great minds think alike. :)
I love your book pumpkin. What a great idea. I've got to make one of those book things. I'm thinking he would look great with a little Santa hat later this year.
