NEED A DIY IDEA FOR FALL?

Hello Loves!
Are you dreaming of fall and those crisp
cool days where you can go outdoors and watch the leaves fall?
Honey after the summer we have had in Texas this season,
I am SO ready for those glorious three months of
September, October and November.....

Now, I am the first to admit I have little talent in
crafting and DIY projects, BUT I am
inspired from time to time, to create my own
little seasonal home design.
These are a few past and current projects I have
created, which I hope will provide you with
inspiration to create something beautiful for YOUR home!

A fall floral arrangement for your fireplace mantel...
complete with dried beans as a filler!

Gather fallen leaves and make a garland for your window...

Luke and I did this little project a few years ago

and it still, to this day, brings back sweet memories to my heart.

I love creating new wreaths for the season and

finding the perfect ribbon as an accent....

it's much more fun than just purchasing a store bought wreath!

Mae was my trusted assistant when we made this
embellished candle....
I used two pillar candle holders, satin ribbon, a small berry garland
and one of my vintage Joan Rivers brooches!

It is so adorable to wrap a plain candle jar
with a cute little piece of scrapbook or old calender image.

This was a really fun project for Halloween....
I layered all sorts of Halloween candy in this old hurricane
and tied it with seasonal ribbon...I loved this as a cute little accent!

Again, take one of your unused glass canning jars,
wrap it in your favorite scrapbook paper, tie a ribbon
around the top of the jar...then fill it with
candy corn and peanuts....adorable!

This was a scrapbook cone wreath that Jennyfer and I made
last year....my very first try at this craft and again,
it brings back the memory of the fun day we had creating this!

Robbie was home from Austin on this particular weekend

and we were watching the movie, BERNIE, as I was making this

autumn garland....he helped me string it along the mantel...

another warm memory of a fall day!

I think so many of us love to start baking in the fall
and I love marking favorite autumn recipes
with a special handmade bookmark.......

It reminds me of something I used find in my grandmother's old cookbooks,

so I find myself continuing this ....it's a great way to make good use

of old scrapbook papers too.....

This is a current project I worked on this summer....
creating cute little fall images on wooden cut-out pumpkins....
I love how this one turned out.....
As you can see, a craft project can be a way of expressing
your creativity and sometimes you end up amazing
yourself at your finished product....
if it makes you happy and reminds you of someone you love....
then it's all good, right?
