I always see so many creative and gorgeous pumpkin decorating ideas on Pinterest each fall. I promise myself that THIS is the year I’m going to decorate for Halloween. Then before I know it, it’s already Thanksgiving and I’m panicking to ensure I get my Christmas decorations up in time.
Although I will not be CARVING pumpkins this year, I WILL make sure to decorate.
