OH! I love your pumpkins Sandi! What a wonderfully cute idea for using old fence pieces! Love it!
Becky, don't know how we are going to paint them Blinking I'm afraid with all the pieces we have that spray painting could get too expensive, but my niece is checking in the "big" city this week to see what she can find for paint for us all to use. Wonder if any of the paint places would have any "mistake" mixes that they want to sell cheap? Then we will probably hand paint all the faces! My daughter isn't sure she wants all of hers orange, so she is planning on leaving some natural, and painting some white, and all kinds of things. She is more creative than I am, I'm thinking. Hilarious!

Thanks Sandi! I think your daughter has a great idea. If she paints some of the logs other colors, she can extend the time she can use them thru Thanksgiving, just by taking out the orange ones after Halloween. And on to Christmas by painting a couple red, white, and green plaid! Oh. the possibilities!

Big Box stores do have the ooooops paints but not sure about orange. However, a bright orange bought at Walmart might not be too costly in a one gallon can. It will go a very long way!

Great idea!

Once year, when my kids were small, we took orange golf balls and painted happy pumpkin faces on them and left them at neighbors doors with a little bag of candy. Big Grin

Love the old fence pieces! Gonna have to look thru the scrap pile again Hilarious! And I love yours too Sandi! What a great use for some pieces of plywood! Would be really cute use for some old cutting boards! Pumpkin party, too funny!
Charleen, what is your pumpkin made from? He is wonderful and looks great on top of the old tree stump! Great idea!
Was driving down the road today, and in the middle of the highway was a bale of straw! Had to swerve to miss it, then thought about it, and stopped and loaded it right up. Not a soul in sight anywhere, no traffic, but a huge traffic hazard, so had to move it off the road anyway just so no one would hit it and crash. Got a bale of straw now for my fall decorations Hurray! Hurray! I'm thinking God wanted me to find it Lovey dubby
