It was October and spooky things happen! Mary painted pumpkins but alas, there were no "blue pumpkins"! According to Colleen, blue pumpkins are a must have!
Before Colleen's review... October 22nd, Halloween is coming!
Colleen mentioned that Mary did not have any "Blue Pumpkins" so out came the brushes, a little respiration, and volia, blue pumpkins.
Complete with blue pun-kins per Colleen's request!
