Hi Shelly, PJ has you covered! Check out this blog post on how to prevent your pie crust from shrinking. I've also found it helpful when it comes time to form your decorated rim to use plenty of pie dough and settle it as solidly as possible on the rim of the pie plate. If you're pre-baking your pie crust, make sure the pie weights don't just cover the bottom of the pie but go part way up the sides as well.
