It's beginning to look a lot like Fall....in my Home!

I just decorated our home for fall a few days ago and thought I would share. Come on in and look around. Can you smell the warm cinnamon swirl bread I just took out of the oven?? Yum!!

Oh and please meet Bailey our 4 month old puppy (she's even enjoying fall)

Happy Fall Y'all!!!

Hey Pumpkin!!

Have you been thinking about a creative way to decorate your pumpkin this fall/halloween? If your like me....your tired of the same ol' pumpkin that you carve every year and need to jazz it up a bit this year.....so here's a bunch of ideas to get your creative juices flowing!

Here's my pumpkins....


No need for carving here...just decorate with different size pumpkins and pop some votives in the small ones.

Ok, I know alot of you have some chalkboard paint left over....get it out and paint your pumpkins!
Have you all used the InkChalk pens yet? I just bought mine at Michaels.

Who says you can't monogram your pumpkin? Go for it!


Decoupage anthing you want on your pumpkin!



Give that pumpkin some BLING!

OK, this does require carving...but had to include it! It's so adorable!

How about a swirly damask pattern? Lovely!
That white pumpkin with the black swirly pattern is so classy!

Black & White...Tres' Chic!

How about an Argyle Pumpkin? Perfect for your preppy friends!

Harlequin Design.....is this cool or what?!

Add some stickers to spell out anything you want!

MumPumpkins....Beautiful!

Can't go wrong with Polka Dots!

What says Fall better than Leaves on a Pumpkin...just get out that decoupage glue!

Put your kids to work making metal swirls
& stick them in your pumpkin to create this fun modern design!

(This would look so cool on a black pumpkin)

Glitz & Glam Pumpkins
(everything looks better with glitter, right?!)

Cut off the top & pop in some flowers...instant creativity!
If your feeling really creative you can carve some leaves out of an elongated pumpkin like shown in the photo.

I had to throw this one in there even though it requires some major carving....isn't it cool or should I say "HOT"! (haha)

Well did I inspire you?
(I hope so!)

Our Day At The Pumpkin Patch

The girls and I decided yesterday was a perfect day for a trip to the Pumpkin Patch. It was a bright sunny day with not a rain cloud in sight...for a change!


In case you all are in Arkansas, it's called The Garner Homestead Family Farm in Lonsdale.

Corn Maze

This was the first corn maze I have ever been through

They even had a petting zoo and my girls & I love animals!

Never too old to swing (I can't believe she will be 21 next week!)

Trying to find the Perfect Pumpkin

And..........they found them!

I even found a perfect one!

This creek was a nice, refreshing break from all that pumpkin hunting!

It was a great fall day with my 2 favorite girls!!
