~PUMPKINS + SUCCULENTS = PANACHE!

I think succulent pumpkins are soooo fun.
While looking over DIY's of them, I discovered that some are created by gluing elements onto the top of a pumpkin (with tacky spray, tacky glue, and/or hot glue), while others involve cutting the top off a pumpkin and putting the ingredients inside.
You'll find instructable videos of the former method here and here, and videos of the latter one here and here. In the first video I linked to, you'll also find out how to care for succulent pumpkins.
To make matters even more fantastic, faux pumpkins can be used instead of real ones; the glue method can be used, or the top of the pumpkin can be cut off.
Below are oodles of photos of these fall-festive things...

~PUMPKIN CREATIVITY: GLASS GEMS GALORE!

Whenever I spot glass gems at the store, visions of craftiness dance in my head. I must admit that these pumpkin lights, which incorporate them, are ingenious! Kudos to Mandi, of Making Nice in the Midwest!

*DIY idea:
For glass gem-bedecked punkins that wouldn't require a drill, I think it would be fun to simply glue gems on them and maybe tie a pretty ribbon around the stem--I'll have to try that one day!

~KARI JOBE: FINDING GOD'S 'GARDEN' IN TIMES OF TROUBLE
{source}

"It's so intricate and detailed, but that's how God is."
~ Kari Jobe ~
Kari Jobe's latest album, "The Garden," was penned during a time of grief and questioning in the singer's life. Kari's sister had experienced the loss of a child, and this influenced the direction of her album.
I really enjoyed watching the video below, in which Kari and Cody talk about 'the problem of pain' and about how God made himself real to them in the midst of heartache. I could listen to these two all day--they're very relatable, yet they also have so much depth.
During minute 5:22-7:10, Kari shares about how God spoke to her in a powerful way that she could and should come to Him in her pain and questioning. She cites from the Psalms, and I love what she says about David at a later point in the video; during minutes 21:12-24:50, she talks about how honest he was--he would "pour out his heart," but then he would "catch himself" and "start declaring truth."
During minutes 7:26-15:16 she shares the story behind the song, "The Garden," and it's such a touching (and intricate) allegory for God's superintendence over everything, including the cycles of life and death, happiness and grief.
