    Transform your pumpkin into a DIY Preppy Pumpkin. Fun and easy was to welcome in Fall with this Lilly Pulitzer pumpkin.DIY Preppy Pumpkins, DIY Preppy Pumpkin, lilly pulitzer pumpkin

    The other day a friend who has not been to our house before said I am sure your house is so clean and organized.  The truth is I love to organize, but I feel like I should have a sign "Pardon the mess we are busy making memories".  My daughter shares my love of crafting. Which makes me so happy.  She loves to search Pinterest for projects for us to do together.

    Crafting, especially with a 4 year old assistant (who am I kidding, boss) means that messes happen. Big ones. Small ones. And all the sizes in between. But sooner or later, you have to look at that mess and smile.  As she is getting older she has become a better a better helper too.  We both love pink and green and everything preppy.  So for this fall we created DIY Preppy Pumpkins.

        You are too sweet Courntey! I think my favorite part of them is the smell. My daughter has been telling everyone about the new wipes and how they smell amazing! Great idea with the baseboard radiators.

      I love these pumpkins. Was just wondering, on the small pumpkins, would it work to use petals of silk flowers instead of the paper or in addition to the paper. The flowers are easy to take apart and you can even just snip the petals off of the stems. You can get them at dollar stores. You may have some stashed away in a closet. Just a thought!!!

      Could you not use scraps of fabric?
