Christmas Pumpkins

My fall pumpkins are lasting forever.  A few began to go soft but a few are still hard and fresh.  I just didn't have the heart to get rid of them, so I decided to make them become a part of my Christmas decorations.  All I needed were a few hard pumpkins and a can of gold spray paint.  How simple and I really love how they turned out.   Here are a few pictures.  Enjoy!

Holiday Napkin Holders

Last night, I spent the evening with a few of my Diva girls.  We enjoyed a pot luck dinner, with a few glasses of wine and some tasty deserts.
Then we moved into the dining room to make a holiday craft.
I had three long grapevines that I had bought about four years ago and never used them.  This gave me an idea to make a few small wreaths that you could use in various ways.  You could use them as napkin holders, small wreaths, toppers for wine bottles or even as an ornament for your Christmas tree or garland.

This was a super easy craft (once I got past the soaking & cutting of the grapevine).  I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Soak your grapevine garland in warm water overnight.  This will make it easier to cut and work with.

Cut about a foot in a half of the vine. 

A sample, you can make them bigger if you like. 

Oh, we had a pot luck dinner before we crafted.

These Diva's are so funny!
