cute sign

I guess due to the rainy and misty weather that we had in our area, we did not have my little people stopping by. I was prepared with a few bags of candy and my little sign out in the yard. I think we had a small group of little people come around 8:52pm and they were the last group. Oh well, maybe next year my little sign will be in good use! I found the sign about a month ago while looking for some other items. I thought that it was too cute!

We decided to stay in after a long day for both of us since we both worked today. We were actually invited to two different adult parties, however, we decided to relax at home. We both needed the rest.

quick project

My wreath....

I finally put my fall wreath together. I purchased a wreath and the leaves and other items to dress it up over a month ago. I purchased the wreath separately and received it half off ($4.99). I returned about a week later to the same store and picked up decorations for the wreath (ribbons, leaves etc). I think everything came to about $20.00 to complete this little project.

Today, I finally pulled everything out and I put the wreath together so that I could decorate my front door for the change of the season. Before you know it, it will be time to put up the Christmas decorations. I don't think that the wreath came out too bad!

Now, I have my wreath, my 3 pumpkins and my fall mat outside to make things kind of complete and a warm welcome!

product

A little while back I mentioned a product that we were told about that preserves your fabric covered furniture. When we were looking for a rocker for the nursery I was tempted to go with a dark colored fabric only because I was afraid of the fabric showing dirt after much use. However, when we were looking and trying to make decisions, the owner of the store informed us of this product. We decided to order the lighter fabric that we liked because of this product. We actually picked it up from a local fabric store not far away and it is well worth purchasing to preserve your fabric covered pieces. I think that the can was only $14.00. I hope this helps some of you who are afraid of lighter colored pieces!

autumn

This time of the year is one of my favorite seasons. I enjoy seeing the leaves change colors and fall to the grass. I also enjoy taking part in decorating with the beautiful colors of this season. This year I began decorating a little earlier.

This season is not only a season of Thanksgiving, but it is also a season to enjoy the beauty of what God has created and watching all of it literally changing before our eyes. I think that sometimes we become so busy that we forget to notice and give thanks to the little things right around us.
