Top 10 Signs It's Fall

With the kids heading back to school and a little relief from the heat, it won't be long before the crisp chill of Fall is in the air. At Pinwhirls, we're ready for Fall. We've added a huge lineup of autumn themed papers for creating custom Pinwhirl items for that school Halloween party or for a family or church harvest gathering.

Before we unveil our Fall additions, though, we've got the top signs that Fall is just is just around the corner so you'll know when it finally arrives!

Top 10 Signs It's Fall

1. The Honeycrisp apples have arrived at your favorite grocery store or farmer's market.
2. The leaves are crunching beneath your feet.
3. Friday nights and Sunday afternoons are filled with football sounds.
4. The lightning bugs and cicadas are quiet.
5. Pumpkin Spice lattes are back!
6. The leaves suddenly seem like they've been set alight
7. You gather around at backyard bonfires to roast marshmallows and make smores.
8. It's time for late night hayrides through the country with a flannel blanket and a cup of steaming hot cocoa.
9. You've packed away your swimsuit and pulled out a cozy sweater or cardigan.
10. Trick-or-treaters are knocking at your door.

Don't miss out on last year's Monster Laboratory, if you haven't seen it already. You'll find a smorgasbord of party ideas including decorations, drinks, and food. The Cherry Brain Parts, Marshmallow Monster Teeth, Skull Cake, and Brain Juice Punch were real hits!
