31 Days of Halloween - Dollar Store Pumpkin Vase

Yesterday I left you with a cliffhanger about a third dollar store pumpkin and what I did with it.  I heard on a writing forum that cliffhangers are awesome.  Of course I also heard that a cliffhanger would be an awesome movie with Sylvester Stallone and that didn't work out so hot for the people in that theater.  But anyhoo, the cliffhanger has been written and now I must resolve it.

I left you with this:

A coat of acrylic paint, some glitter and mod podge and a ribbon around the seam-for-which-there-is-no-cure.  Now, we're going to perform a little lobotomy.  Warning, this is not for the squeamish.

Now, before you get all 'pumpkins can feel that', just know that this was done in a sterile environment with anesthesia.  Well, the anesthesia was for me, I had a whole bunch of cheetos and they put me in sort of an orange cheese stupor.  But whatever, the operation was a success.

Grab some dollar store fall flowers and stuff 'em in.  Put a little dollar store rat next to it for no apparent reason.

If I was fancy enough, I'd make a few of these for Thanksgiving centerpieces... but if I'm being truthful, I'm still in the cheeto-stupor.  The only cure for it is a milkshake.

I link up at these great parties!
