I've been noticing on a lot of blogs that a lot of people are becoming very in tune this season with what they are thankful for. I think it is always good to step back and take a look at the big picture and really evaluate the little and big things that we sometimes take for granted. This project can be a way for you to reconnect with yourself and possibly family and friends during this upcoming Thanksgiving season.

The Thankful Pumpkin

Supplies:
– medium or large pumpkin
– Paper Effects Copper paint
– thin drafting tape (I used Rainbow Tape)
– newspaper
– damp cloth

Instructions:
1. Wipe off any dirty spots of pumpkin with cloth.
2. Spiral tape around pumpkin as a guideline for your writing.

3. Lay down newspaper, and using writer, write "I'm thankful for..." and then list things you are thankful for. You may need to do it in sections at a time, so not to smear your paint. Let dry.
