Chalkboard Pumpkins

Right now I have a dozen pumpkins on my kitchen table drying.  Today I painted them with chalkboard paint.  They are going to be on a table at the Fall Festival to keep little hands busy during some of the down time.  I am sure you have all seen chalkboard pumpkins before, I know I have, but now I think I might need to transform some of them into chalkboard cats:

You can read how to transform your pumpkin into a chalkboard cat over at Real Simple.

And I may have to buy a few more pumpkins because I am starting to fall in love with the idea of not painting the entire pumpkin:

I hate when I finish a project and then find a version I like better.  That happens to me a lot.  I guess I read too many blogs!!

You can get a cat template and a witch template at Woman's Day.
