It’s still Fall y’all. This is my new go-to bracelet stack for fall, pumpkins, all things orange! This bracelet stack is from 4ocean from two Fall Fests. This was also a good stack for the pumpkin patch field trip and #wearorangeday (there are at least two of these: one for gun violence and one for…

We’re being green! One of the projects I received approval for was to create a recycling station at church.
