just when i thought i was getting better with it...yet another item has fallen victim to my chalkboard paint addiction...i really was in the process of putting it away...when the idea of painting one of those craft pumpkins popped into my head...i mean...what was i to do?...just ignore it?...
so...headed over to micheals and picked up (and paid for) one of those black plastic pumpkins...slapped two coats of chalkboard paint on it...and now it's ready to go!...
i promise...the paint has been put away now...it's out of sight...but not out of mind!...
****check out my linky party directory on the sidebar to see where i'm linking to this week!...

Now how neat is that! You are just too crafty! Great idea...TFS.
Very cute. I just saw some medium sized pumpkins at Dollar Tree, might have to pick up a few and try this!
Oh, man. What an awesome idea! You could even write Happy Thanksgiving on it in a few weeks! TFS!
i thought these would be great to get a bunch of little ones...and use as signs for food dishes at parties!...
Thanks for joining us over at our Sassy Sites blog party! It's fun to see everyone! Come on over tomorrow and sign up for our Spotlight Giveaway! We would love to have you!! xoxo

Anything can be a chalkboard!
Very cute idea.
i know the feeling and i think others are the same way with vinyl...no surface is safe!
Too CUTE!!! I just picked up some chalk board paint recently and I can see how it can get out of hand. LOL! (= Thanks for the inspiration! (=
Love the idea!!!
That's a darling idea! What a fun gift that would make for a teacher. :)
I like it--I know my college-aged girls would love to receive this in a care package from home!
I'm kind of obsessed with chalkboard paint so this is right up my alley!
I have the same obsession, I think my pumpkins will be my next victim too! Very clever!
Of course, we had to have chalkboard pumpkins! Great idea! I am highlighting this at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com

Wow! This is a great idea :) Love all the uses for chalkboard paint. Guess I should pick myself up a can, huh?
I would have never thought of that, but I LOVE how great it turned out! Please stop by my blog any Thursday this month to link up Fall or Halloween ideas.
I think I'll finally have to break down and buy that chalkboard paint. Your project is the one to finally talk me into it. :)
I love it! I too am obsessed with chalkboard paint.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
How creative.... a chalkboard pumpkin.
I am a new follower from Boost My Blog. I would appreciate it if you could stop over and check me out...possibly follow.
I am giving a Halloween Apron away to one of my followers. 10/5
Visiting today from NFF. I love the name of your blog and the chalkboard pumpkin. So cute.
HI - I made some of these too. Super easy & fun. I used REAL pumpkins, but I want to try the artificial pumpkins. I'm just starting my chalkboard paint projects. Check me out at http://thrumypeepers.blogspot.com/2010/09/chalkboard-paint-pumpkins.html
I love your idea! It would be great as a sign for those that leave treats out for trick or treaters! I see a lot of comments about giveaways, I totally suggest you guys use this chalkboard pumpkin to announce the winner! How cute would that be?
I'm heading out to Michael's today, so you know I've got to pick up a black pumpkin & pull out my chalkboard paint. I'm new to the chalkboard painting and it's definitely addicting.
PS - It's great to see another blogger from West Virginia. Let me know if you'd be interested in doing a guest post - I'd love to have you.
What a fun and versatile idea! Thanks for linking to my Halloween Party! :)

Girl, can't believe Im seeing this right. Yay,m I'd say you are the quenn of chalboard paint, and now you've probably painted everything possible, lol. This is a SUPER idea, and you can totally use this all through fall, hey prob even the whole year, its surely cute enough. I would really LOVE for you to come link up to my party **6 weeks 2 Spook**, this is really awesome, and I would love to have you. Thanks, Bella :)
Simple Spooky Chic!
Love this
Thanks for sharing :)
That is just too cool...I was thinking using a real pumpkin then I wouldn't have to store it (too small house too many projects) and we'd get a pumpkin pie out of it to boot!

I LOVE chalkboard paint and this is one adorable craft!
This is great! I'd love to see one on my table say, "Kids, do the dishes." Ha! Love it!
Congrats on making it on Better Hoes & Garden web site. Great pumpkin idea and fast too! For some reason I can't sign on the Cricut MB (maybe they kicked me off LOL) so I came to comment on your blog
