    Traditional Fall Wreath

    I have finally decided to take the plunge and start crafting and decorating a little here and there. I miss it so much and pinterest sure has made me crave it even more. Since I love Fall so much, it is a great time to get in the spirit and add touches of Fall through the house.

    Fall Decorations 2009

    This year is the first year of decorated for fall in several years. I love decorating for fall. It’s nothing major or extravagant. I love mums and pumpkins, but you won’t see those this year due to lack of funds. We will carve a pumpkin, but haven’t done that yet. I also love pumpkin spice candles in the fall. MMmmmmm….

I guess I like the way they look more than the way they taste. 2. Fall Colors – orange, red, yellow, and brown 3. Cooler weather – It seems that in Alabama we…
