Here is a <a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2013/02/diy-sweetheart-rose-arrangement-coral.html">step-by-step guide</a> for how I made this arrangement.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I pulled in our grey wingback chairs from the family room - with their blankets and pillows, they make it such a cozy table.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I am not sure if I thought it was too over done, or if I hadn't had the occasion to do it.  Or maybe I got lazy and didn't want to go to the trouble of carving out the pumpkin.  This year, I've been itching to do it.  I thought about if for Halloween, then Emma's costume took priority in the project department.  I thought about it for my October Harvest Workshop... then making giant pots of Beef & Butternut Chili took over my free time.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
