Mod podge pumpkin! {Fall decorating}
Love playing with mod podge!
and I love Fall decorating!
and I love Fall decorating!
Pumpkins are of course all the decorating rage now, with Fall and Halloween of course they would be. I had a plan!
Remember this?.....
ahhhh..yes, I had a vision...
I hunted and gathered some pretty Fall leaves from our backyard....
WELL, things did not work out for me with this project...
oh crap now what?
hmmm....I have this very old cookbook that I scored from an antique store some time ago.
I love how some is even hand written and other recipes are pinned in the book.
I suppose I could make a kitchen recipe mod podge pumpkin!
So that's what I did....
I was able to mod podge the outdoor leaves, and topped off the pumpkins with them.
Maybe this was a better idea, than the original!
I even left the pins in tact.
Check out some of the pages, talks about phosphates and energy, etc...
pretty neat. What I am gathering is this woman would cut out recipes from the paper that she liked, then pin them in her own personal cook book. Not sure just a guess.
Oh btw, all these pages I used were loose leaf.
I did not tear anything out, they were already falling out.
I did not tear anything out, they were already falling out.
And here you have my mod podge kitchen recipe pumpkin!
Perhaps there are more out there in google/blog land, but I checked and did not see a specific kitchen recipe one.
If you do, let me know I would love to see it.
Another cute idea would be to mod podge some terra cotta pots with the kitchen recipe, and then add herbs to the pots...
see my mind is already thinking ahead!

You are ever so crafty and creative. Where do you get your energy and ideas? I want some of that drug.
Very clever idea Debbie. That would be perfect in a kitchen or dining room. I'd probably make copies of the recipes though and use the copies if I was going to make one, but only because I love collecting recipes. The history behind the ones people keep and make notes always feel too personal for me to throw away or use in another project.
Have a great night Debbie!
Very cute, Debbie!
That looks great, Debbie. Thanks in advance for joining the party.
That is adorable Deb! I like the idea of using a cookbook on it!
BTW I downloaded Goggle Chrome and it still didn't work! It's only on the ones it seems that have the dropdown!
ohmygosh, love love love it!! xoxo
Well that is so unique! I love it. I've never seen a pumpkin done like that. You are one crafty mamma!
Hi Debbie...
Oooh...I just love your olden recipe decoupaged pumpkin, my friend! It turned out sooo pretty! Bet you had lots of fun doing this. Was just wondering...are the leaves that you used to embellish the top of the pumpkin...real leaves? And...if so...did you mod podge them as well? They look fabulous!
Thank you for sharing your new autumn pretty with us! What a creative and talented lady you are, my friend!
Warmest autumn wishes,
Chari
Do you ever sleep? You come up with the most creative stuff, and actually find the time to do it! ENVY!!!!
Yep, I sleep a solid 8 hours every night. I wake up, shake the cob webs and get busy on my next idea LOL! Of course this is after the boys are off to school, laundry, cleaning and all the fun stuff in between.
Mighty pretty Deb. I like it with the stained paper recipes .. makes it look very old world.

Great ideas, I love the leaf pumpkin, I have a habit of collecting wonderfull fall leaves, I now should do something with them! Love the pumpkins, thanks

Genius, Debbie! I am addicted to Mod Podge too, and have been wanting to decoupage some pumpkins. What a fun project! Those old recipes sure are fun, aren't they??
Wow Debbie! You never disappoint! Absolutely beautiful pumpkins-so creative!!
Cute idea! No - I have not seen one with recipes before, but like the end result.
I'm pretty sure this one is a Debbie original. You are so darn clever. I love it!
Once again you have surprised me with your ingenuity. I love it.
Love the use of old recipes Debbie. I am doing good if I set out my old concrete punkin on the porch. ♥O
Debbie,
I love how your mind works! Your kitchen pumpkin turned out cute! Can't wait to see your other ideas come to life :)

This is a neat idea....you could narrow it down to pumpkin recipes!! It looks cool...oh, and as a prop with a pumpkin pie post...see, now you got me thinkin'!
Love it Debbie! You never cease to amaze me! :-)

Very unique. You have the best ideas. I have to get my Mod Podge out and get to work.
Finally, it took me a long time to figure out how to get this laptop to sign in for commenting. Just look at all you have been up to the last few days. You go Deb.... adore that picture of the three vases of flowers by the way. Nice capture. Time to hit the hay. We have another day of hunting for that perfect tree tomorrow.
By the way, the cookbook modge is so so clever. You did loss any good recipes, did you?
Too cute! Just too cute...
Love your idea! So cute!

Dangit, Debbie, I have not even bought the first pumpkin yet!!! ARGHHHHHH!!!!! I have got to get it together....
That pumpkin turned out so sweet! :)
SO clever! I think I need to be on the look out now for an old cookbook! Didn't see in your post if the leaves are real? Did you Mod Podge those too??
Love it so clever and I especially like the terra cotta pot idea too! Have a wonderful day!
This is a nice idea..with the recipes! I'm seeing so many interesting ways to decorate pumpkins! I want to paint some cheap artificial ones! But I never paint! lol ♥
OMG Debbie that is so cute! Now I want to make one:) Martina
LOVE this idea! AND the pot filled with herbs idea! ( I think I just might have to steal that one!) I would love it if you would link up to my party! http://mushkiloves.blogspot.com/2011/10/mushk-loves-my-stuff-party-2.html
I am so pinning this right now! And becoming a follower of your blog!
Hope to see you there!
