I speak for the trees!!!

This year, Josie decided she wanted to have a Dr. Seuss Lorax pumpkin for her school pumpkin patch.  
I tried to find faux yellow fur for his mustache and eyebrows, but ended up hot-gluing fuzzy yellow yarn onto felt. His nose is an orange pom pom.

A tissue paper blossom becomes the top of the Truffula tree.

Happy soon-to-be Halloween!




PS.  Continued prayers for those in the Sandy's path. May you be safe and sound from the storm.

    The Lorax is adorable. Your pumpkins have to be the talk of the pumpkin patch at school.
