From Spring/Summer to Fall

So this weekend I decided I needed to spruce the house up a tad bit for fall. (and when I say a tad I mean I really only did one thing) I decided to change out some of my fake flowers to make my home feel more autumny and so I did. I have bought some other stuff to help give our home this fall feeling but I still have to put them together! So here are a couple of pictures...

After......

What do you think?? I think they turned out pretty good! These brown pots are prefect for Autumn colors! Everyday when I look at these I smile! I actually have one more touch of fall that I added to the house but I forgot to take a picture of it! I will do that tonight.

Also I finally finished my sisters chalkboard for her room... I haven't heard back from her yet but I hope she likes it!

Do you like it? I really like how hers turned out! And I really like the ribbon I used for it. It only cost me a few burnt fingers and a little frustration with trying to get the bow to cooperate but totally worth it!

Here is a sneak peak at another project that I will hopefully be finished with tonight!

If you can't read the price tag on this beauty I will tell you :) It cost me a total of 2.99 yep folks 3 bucks!!! She has a beautiful little design all the way around! I have something great in mind for this little gem! I will keep you posted on what's going on with her at a later date!

And one more sneak peak at another craft that I am making a lot of!

Check out the bottom left corner of the picture :) I spoke about this in another post that you can find Here towards the bottom of the post.

So has anyone else been feeling crafty lately? If so please share you idea's I would love to try anything new and fun!

Have a Blessed day!

Autumn Leaves

Lately I have been dreaming of Autumn. I have been reminiscing of my days when I was a child living in Elginburg, Ontario, Canada.
I can remember as we approached the end of August you could smell fall coming. It was the most magnificent thing in the world. I could smell fall!! The crispness of the air the dry smell. It was yummy! I remember my thoughts were always in a whirlwind and I could never wipe that smile off my face. It truly is magnificent to watch the seasons change to see God's beauty in everything!

Isn't this beautiful?

                                                                                                                 

I dream of taking a walk in the park in Canada with my boys soaking in all of what God has given us! I am learning more and more each day that every little thing is a gift and we need to soak it all up.

(disclaimer: these pictures are not my own and I am not claiming them as such)

I often sit at home and wonder hmm, will today be the day that we get in that car and go see the world? Will my boys ever be exposed to the elements?

Will they ever share my joy of when all the leaves fall off the trees and you rake them up and jump into the pile? I can remember it like yesterday! It was what I always looked forward too! I could hardly stand the wait and then on that glorious day when they started to fall and there were just enough for you to jump into it was complete and utter bliss!

I'm sure my boys will experience my Autumn bliss, but until that day you will find me occasionally dreaming of us all walking hand in hand down a road much like the one above. Until then.....
