Some Favorites from the Linky Party :)

I just cannot tell you HOW much I absolutely LOVED all of your projects that you linked up for fall (yes, I know I'm a bit late on sharing all these -- oops!)  Even though it's winter and all the Christmas projects are in full force, I still want to take one last peak at the fall season.

So in no particular order -- here are my absolute favorite fall projects from you guys:

Heather at Straight Stitches made this "Nutty Wreath"  

LOVE IT!  This would be awesome for Christmas, too!

Lisa at The Pursuit of Happiness made this adorable pumpkins with burlap.  

To DIE for, Lisa!  They are just perfect!

Sunny at Life in Rehab whipped up this gorgeous aqua and cream colored spread of fall decorations. 

I just love the use of "non-typical" fall colors -- it's just stunning!

Sarah at Bird's Papaya made this adorable topiary herself -- and of course shows you how to!

Beautiful use of moss!!

Kathleen at Between Blue &  Yellow made these absolutely gorgeous knockoff burlap vases from dollar store materials!

This is waaaay better than the pricey version -- I love it!

 

I absolutely loved ALL your projects -- they were just wonderful to look at and I loved visiting your blogs!  Thank you so much for making it a wonderful party!!


And since this was SO much fun -- I'm going to be doing a Christmas party too!

YAY! MRS. K!  Send me an email and we'll get you your fabulous CSN prize!

I absolutely loved reading all the things you guys were thankful for and what your Thanksgiving plans were!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  And thanks for sharing all your awesome projects -- I'm going to be spotlighting a few of them tomorrow! :)

 

My House is Ready for Thanksgiving!

I wanted to share with you how Thanksgiving-esque our house is! :)  Because come this weekend or next we will be in full-blown Christmas mode and the Autumn decorations will be put away for the year.  It sure went by fast, didn't it!?!

I found this candle, plastic acorns and leaf dish at Kohl's a few weeks back for 60% off and now they sit in the center of our dining room table.

 So, because I don't have a mantle; we decorate our sideboard/hutch/buffet (whatever you want to call it) for the seasons.  You can see my pumpkin and vase projects on the side there.

There are the famous Decor Chick Dollar Store Hurricanes -- I made them last weekend and I even used her "book" technique to hold them in place while they dried.  Thanks, Emily for an AWESOME, inexpensive project!!

I have my topiary on a little table in our entry way next to a store-bought pumpkin and a little lantern I snatched from an antique store.

 I found these Fall Ornaments at Joanne's this year and last year and thought they were a perfect addition to our entry way.

And of course you HAVE to have an Autumn welcome sign!  I absolutely love this one I got for my birthday a few years ago -- I wish I could leave it up all year around!!
