My Little Pumpkins

Posted by craftyperson on October 21, 2008

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.
