It just seems to come faster every year!
I've already been to the Spirit store several times this month. I haven't decided on anything yet, as many of the ideas I like I've already done! But there's till time.
Pumpkin buckets seem hard to find, but I have gotten four so far, three orange ones from Walmart and one blue one from CVS. The bucket from CVS was more expensive, but I just had to have this one. Walmart only had orange buckets and CVS only had blue ones. So far no luck finding used ones at Goodwill. There are some at Walgreens, but they too only have orange ones. I'd like to get some in other colors, if I can find any. The buckets I bought are pictured below:
I was surprised to still see light stakes at Dollar General, but no pumpkin buckets. I expected the light stakes to be gone before the end of summer, that's why I bought them before summer began. This has happened in the past when I've wanted to make this decoration. Here is a video of the instructions. It's short one, and shorts don't seem to allow embedding. I was unable to find the large stakes shown in the video.
