What We Are Falling For: Autumn Personalities
Fall is more than a season, it is a feeling that takes over all your senses. For some of us, it’s the cool crisp breeze, crunching leaves beneath your feet, the smell of pumpkin spice in the air, the cozy & cute blankets to keep warm, and the taste of hot caramel apple cider. For others, it can be the chilling wind at night before the sounds of a scary horror movie, entwined in cotton webs while decorating, the taste of candy corn, and the smell of a haunted-themed candle. In many cases, autumn can encompass their entire personality. Admittedly, Paper Source is home to many of these people.
