I used the Chills & Thrills Rub-Ons to make my pumpkins. It was so easy and fun. No mess! The tip I have is make sure the pumpkins are room temperature and tape the run-ons to the pumpkins before you begin. Well my house is filled with pumpkins. I also found all my favorite pumpkin recipes (and Halloween) and added them to my BusyWomenHelper Blog. If you have a recipe, send it to me and I’ll add it.
