I made some pumpkins for the kids this year - including Hurley. They are painted, glittered, lettered, blinged out...
Gracie's is high gloss white with a metallic silver stem that I also put silver glitter paint on. She has a pink "G" that is blinged out. Then I sprayed the whole thing with glitter.
Bentley picked out his own pumpkin with DeDe and Duppy and I just gave it a little overhaul. It's covered in a pearl/iridescent paint and the stem is covered in black glitter. The glittered black "B" also has two little black motorcycles on it since he's so into cars & bikes these days.
Hurley gets his own pumpkin, too! His I painted metallic gold and the stem is black glitter. The "H" is white with black glitter paint. I found two little buttons of dogs with floppy ears and bones so I painted them gold, dabbed their noses with silver glitter, and here it is!
These are nothing compared to the pumpkins I know Gampy is going to show up with though!

I have seen a zillion things made from old shipping pallettes ~ entire walls, shelves, frames ~ and when I saw this gem on Pinterest I knew I had to recreate it for the nursery (I don't know who to credit so if anyone does please let me know so I can give props)...
I showed my hubby as I knew I'd need his help as my handyman and he was up for the challenge. Our neighbors have a huge burn pile so we walked out back on day and scored this beauty...
I chose a dark walnut stain because the crib is a dark color and I wanted to try and balance it across the room with something else dark...
Next was a free-hand heart cutout from cardboard that I could trace onto the pallette; and I already had plenty of pink paint to use for color...
Then it was up to the best handyman EVER to hang this beast...
And here you have the final piece...
I love how it turned out. Thanks for helping me tackle this project handy hubby! ily
