My First Feature!!!
I had another post planned for today, but had to share this instead. My laundry room is featured today on one of my favorite blogs, The Shabby Nest . I was totally surprised as I went to Wendy's lovely blog last night to link up a project for this week's party and saw that she had chosen my post to feature (out of over 550 entries!). What an enormous compliment! I am shocked, humbled and so thankful for all of the positive feedback on my new laundry room. I am so new to blogging and never dreamed that anyone besides my family and close friends would take notice of my projects. Bloggers are a wonderfully supportive community that I am proud to now be a part of! If you didn't see my laundry room, you can read all about it here . Please hop over to The Shabby Nest and look around a while. There are hundreds of fabulous projects, crafts, recipes, tips, and fashion ideas to inspire you! ...

Outdoor Fall Decorating Ideas
I promise this is my last post about Fall decorations! It has still been unseasonably warm in Oklahoma, so I left my big ferns in their urns and just added around them. Where's Waldo? This is Emily's new favorite thing...hiding in the window when we're taking pictures around the front door. I usually don't even realize she's there! I saw this monogrammed pumpkin somewhere on a blog and thought it was so cute! Please let me know if you know where it came from so I can give them credit. If you have Sam's Club in your area, you know they have great plants. Their mums this year were H.U.G.E. I picked up two along with my $2.99 pumpkins from Aldi and was done. I'm responsible for the pots and flowers at the front door of our school. I added some mums and pumpkins here also along with some things that I had at home. Hedge apples/Crab apples/Horse apples-whatever you call them are my favorite things to scavenge ......

My Fall Decor
There was a time when I had nearly as many decorations for Fall as I do for Christmas. I love decorating for this season but this year found myself wanting things to be simpler and cleaner than usual. So, I focused on just a few areas around our family room, kitchen, and entry, and called it done. Here's what I ended up with. Entry Table-Hung my coffee filter wreath that I made last year, switched out my lamps and filled my huge shell with pumpkins, pinecones, seed pods, and a little bird on a nest. These lamps came down from my mantel and I switched the shade out with this one that I recovered. I found a straight shade at Ross for $2.99 (score!), covered it with spray adhesive and burlap, and then trimmed it out with fringe and ribbon from Hobby Lobby. I love the warm colors with my fall decorations. Lamp Table-I just switched what was inside of my glass domes with a few goodies. The acorns were a garl......
