I can’t believe August has come and gone! Seriously, where did the past month go? I’d say something about Summer being over, but I think {as usual} it’s sticking around here in Georgia for a bit longer!
To help everyone get into the Fall spirit, I’m teaming up with two AMAZING bloggers, One Artsy Mama and Happy Hour Projects to bring you a “pumpkin” linky. Nothing screams Fall to me like pumpkins {and Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes…yum}!
What are we looking for?! Everything DIY – crafts, decor, recipes – whatever you’re posting about that involves pumpkins in some way!
Grab the button, if you like {the code is in my sidebar} and feel free to add it to your party list, post, or sidebar for being part of our collection. We invite you to come back and link up anytime you’ve got something new between now and September 30th – anything linked up will be part of the collection, visible on all three blogs.
Disclaimer: These are addictive and probably not too great for you, but hey…we all need a little indulgence every once in a while, right?!
