If it’s the third Tuesday of the Month, then it’s Pinterest Challenge Time!

Didn’t know that? No worries, I’ll explain –

Not So Spooky Door Sign

As evidenced by past Halloween crafts, it might be kind of obvious that I really don’t like scary decorations.

Monsters? Sure, but they have to be friendly. Bats – well of course, but only if they are kind of punny.
