Getting ready

Remember how I said I love fall? Yes well since it is September, and that is a fall month, as far as I am concerned.... IT IS TIME TO DECORATE!!!! I planned on decorating for fall but realized quickly that most of my "fall" décor is actually Halloween décor. WITCH (see that <<) is even better!!

Here are some before pics. I decorate in lime green, white and teal for summer.

It's definitely a work in progress. The amount of décor I had that filled my apartment doesn't make a drop in the bucket for our big house. But oh well. the small amount makes me happy. The house smells of spiced cider and pumpkin scents from the candles I have put out. Now the weather just needs to cool down....

In other news we have been busy this week. I have been working on etsy orders and made a "guest book" box for my friend Shannon's bridal shower to have at her wedding. We had one at ours and it has been awesome. It is filled with cards that have places for the guest's name, address, email and phone number and on the back has a place for "a special note for the newlyweds".

 I painted the box red to match her wedding colors and added a brown ribbon and white burlap flower.

Here is the box open and the cards and dividers inside.

 

 Here are pictures from Shannon's shower. It was so romantic looking with an AMAZING cake and yummy Mexican food.
