Pumpkins!

We usually carve our pumpkins with really cute faces and they always seem to collect bugs and die very quickly. This year I decided to get crafty and try a little something new and not so messy as the regular pumpkin carving tradition. I had a coupon for Hobby Lobby and the ribbon and letters were on sale so this is what I came up with...




It cost me a whopping $14 for this set up, including the mums and pumpkins which I stopped and got from a farmers market.

My wreath is festive too and can be left up until my Christmas wreath goes on the front door. Let's not talk about how much the wreath was at Pier 1 though...
