For me, crafting season starts promptly on October 1 every year! It’s time for me to take out my iPad and get on Pinterest to find the year’s biggest trends in pumpkin painting. We hosted a pumpkin decorating day for some friends and our kids and what kind of organization blog would I be if I didn’t link this super convenient craft storage that made the craft a little easier.

For those die-hard pumpkin carvers reading this, go about your awesome ways but for those in warmer climates (where your pumpkin would rot if carved) read on for some inspiration.
This below design caught my eye this season. I associate Gingham with cozy farmhouse decor and associate that with cozy fall days. I love that I can use this pumpkin further into the season even pushing on winter transitional decor.
I even attempted this little DIY and did a pretty decent job! Check back on my Instagram page to see how I style it.

During our pumpkin crafting party this weekend, a friend went with a spiderweb design! It turned out so cool and he made it his own by adding spiders and shadows. Magia Mia has some great Halloween inspo and DIY projects for you so give her site a follow. Check out these no carve pumpkins she shared.
