I think by now everyone who reads my blog knows this is my favorite time of year. I love the Fall for so many reasons. I love the color, the activities and the nesting part of it I feel. The colors of Fall decorate my home year round. It's just magical to me.
School started September 8th and we are off to a good start. Caitlin likes her teacher and my son likes his schedule. We have some nice activities coming up and a weekend trip so there is a lot to look forward to.
I've been busy decorating and creating when I have the time. may I introduce you to my scarecrow people? Below is one seated next to one of my pumpkin people.
I have made several and love them. I get the head with the pick at Dollar Tree and then with some pipe cleaners, cupcake papers and decorations I have a new friend!
Here's some of the gang:
They're a happy bunch! And they became fast friends with the pumpkin people! Caitlin and her friends love to come over and create all these little people. They have some great ideas to dress them!
I had hoped to get some mums this weekend but we are getting lots of much needed rain. Maybe next weekend.
I hope you will join my Facebook group! It's called Country Home-Decorating & Creating Country, Prim & Amish style. You can click on the picture for it top right! I'm having so much fun and meeting so many new people. Recipes, crafts, decorating---come join us!
Anyway, back to the blog here...I'm planning the Halloween decorations but haven't started yet. Pinterest has so many great ideas. With school starting I had a lot of shopping to do so I made notes of all the things I want to go back to. Honestly I can be on there for hours!
Here is a photo of my son from a week ago. He hates when I ask to take his picture but I asked him if I could take one since I always post photos of Caitlin. He's so funny and it took me a few minutes to get him not to be a clown so that I could take the picture!
I had the best carrot cake the other day! I have to get a good recipe to make my own! So delicious! I think it's my new favorite cake!
Have a great evening!

ReplyDeleteThose pumpkin people are so cute!! So is your son, and just look at that hair. Enjoyed your blog and the beautiful fall colors. I love fall too, although I know we get a beastly long and cold winter following. Have a wonderful week! - Judy
