So my Gentleman Friend called me last week and informed me that his work was holding a pumpkin decorating contest for Halloween. I immediately informed him that we had to win (competitive much?) and we started brainstorming ideas. He wanted to go with a dragon theme, in keeping with the fantastical nature of Halloween. I was reluctant at first, but when I heard what he wanted to do, I jumped on board.
On Friday, we went shopping for supplies. We spent about $30 (never mind the top prize is a $25 gift certificate to a certain coffee chain--it's all about the bragging rights, people!) and finalized the details of our plan.
Saturday we focused on construction. We spent a few hours painting, gluing, and braiding pipe cleaners. Then came the moment of truth as we put everything together....

So what do you think? Personally, I think we have a decent shot at winning (or at the very least, placing in the contest) but I'm a little biased. Regardless, it was fun, and that's what counts!
How did you spend your weekend?
