While I'm showing YW activities, I thought I'd show what we did earlier in the month. We had a combined evening with the RS where we ate together (stews cooked in pumpkins and pumpkin cupcakes) and then Mom and I showed everyone how to create a flower arrangement in a little pumpkin. We picked up that trick back home and it's fun to do...and makes a great decoration for your Thanksgiving table!

My mom and Sis Johnson with the girls:

Laureen and her arrangement:

Tasha did these arrangements:

One thing that's great about the girls is that they're not afraid to dive right in and try something new, adults often don't have that quality. They had fun learning how to do this.

Here's How:

1) Find a little pumpkin, cut off the top and hollow it out.

2) soak some floral foam in water, cut a chunk to stick in the pumpkin.

3) Arrange your greenery, try to hide where the pumkin meets the foam.

4) Add your flowers, fill in with filler.

Voila! You have a masterpiece! Keep your foam moist and it'll last a while.
