Fall is Here???

Really, I love Fall, usually it is because that means my birthday and the boys birthdays are here, but for me it also means it is time to get out the decorations. I love spiffing up my house for each holiday, but the ones this time of year are my favorite. Don't even get me started about Christmas, I love love love going everything ready, and I wait for the time to come, so to placate me I have my Halloween Spookery all up. These are some of my favorites.  I have constrained myself to only buying a few new pieces each year, mostly since storage space is limited, and because I love where everything fits now and can only put so much out each time.

{The Foyer-complete with Fall Leaves, yes some are glittered}
{Berk loves this spider and runs around scaring everyone with it}
{Last year's project-glitter skulls & bones}
{I even have to mix up the kitchen magnets}

Are you sensing a theme here?  I love to put the purple, green, orange and black throughout the downstairs and outside. And I love glittering things, in case you couldn't tell. The bones & bugs were from last year's Martha Stewart show- gotta love her. Oh, and since I have a ton of glitter left, in cool autumn colors, I am going to glitter baby pumpkins- this is the easiest activity for kids, messy but easy and fun. Pictures later.

I too love fall but have enjoyed this summer more than usual so I have been dragging my feet on my fall stuff. Now that I have seen your CUTE stuff, I need to get mine out.

I love you decorations! You need to post how you made the glitter bugs...my girls would love them! We have to be very selective with our Halloween decorations because my girls are...well...girls! (scared VERY easily!)

I love the decorations. Do you have HomeGoods out there? It has the best decorations. It's OCT 1st so I can officially start decorating.

Dang, you put my autumn decorations to shame! You should teach a class so I know how to do my own better. ;)
