Today is Day 3 of my 10 day series, Family Friendly Fall!  It’s time to have some fun decorating your homes with pumpkins.

If you’d like to see what I offer on the other days, go to my Family Friendly Fall page.

 

I’m not a big fan of the Jack-O-Lantern, but I really love having pumpkins around as fall decorations!  Have you seen how creative people are getting now with pumpkin decor?  There are so many different ways that you can do it!  Below I have highlighted several different bloggers and how they decorate for Fall in the months of October and November.

 

 

 

 1.  Decoupaged Pumpkins

I love how nice and fancy these pumpkins look!

2.  Duct Tape Wrapped Pumpkins

Same author as the decoupaged pumpkins above, but she wrapped them with Duct tape instead!  Brilliant!!

3.  Pumpkin Man

I absolutely love this blogger’s idea of making a Pumpkin Man.  So super cute!

5.  Celestial Pumpkins

This is a fun idea!  Instead of carving it as a Jack-O-Lantern, carve it into a beautiful piece of art by drilling holes!  I love how it looks at night, all lit up!

 6. White Pumpkins

I love the elegance of the white pumpkins!

7.  Fabric Paint Painted Pumpkins

This is a great way to change the look of a white pumpkin and gives it a whole new look.  Creatively simple!

8.  Scratched Surface Pumpkins

These are very unique!  You use a clay loop tool to scratch the surface of the pumpkin.

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
