How to celebrate the month of October...

My friends and I have a tradition we do every year. Around the first day of October we all get together and paint pumpkins!
Its a perfect way to get together and be with the ones you love, while being creative!

We painted pumpkins last night. Here is mine:



I usually do an abstract self portrait (that's my way of saying I'm not the best painter!).

And last years pumpkins:



Mine is on the top, while my sisters is on the bottom. Hmmm, I seem to use the same paint colors each year!

Give this a try with your friends and family. We LOVE to do this each year. What a great excuse to get together.
