I can't wait to see them on my own granddaughter soon!!
Snuggy and warm!
What a darling shower gift they would make!
I love the Lime green with the black. The little white pearls just added a unique touch.
I really loved the idea of repurposing my grandma's old broken jewelry and incorporating pieces of it into this banner.
Just so fun and different!
Once again I repurposed my grandma's old, broken, gold jewelry and just added touches of it here and there.
The banner measures from end to end 107" almost 9ft! 
Add some black scrapbook paper to the edges of the plates with a few dots of hot glue (that can be peeled right off later) that have been cut with some decorative scissors.....could it get any simpler!
Add some apples and a candle with a ribbon and some popcorn in a cello bag tied with a ribbon and you are good to go. You will notice that you can see the goblet part of the glass and so I filled it with some fall berries for a little added touch.
Voila!! A cute Centerpiece made from things you already own!
I then added some of the fall garlands and just tucked them in and around. (I cut them up to I could have more flexibility) I added little sprigs of grapes, other fall leaves and odds and ends to make it appear fuller. Then I started placing the largest pieces in first and worked in the other smaller items unti
l I liked how it looked.
What are you putting on your mantel this fall?
While I was in St. George I went to a store called Tai Pan and they had these beautiful BROWN ACORNS, A YUMMY SOFT GREEN PEAR and other round balls covered in RED AND BROWN DRIED LEAVES and I just knew they would add that extra something to my wreath.
I simply got out my HANDY DANDY GLUE GUN and attached them to the wreath I then added little touches here and there of EXTRA FALL LEAVES (that I already had LAYING AROUND IN MY AUTMUMN BOX IN THE GARAGE)....to make the wreath fuller and VOILA!! a fabulous full fall wreath for just a few extra bucks.
I really love it now and it looks very nice hanging on my front door.
My Husband asked me last night....Is it fall already? I said yes it will be tomorrow..Sept. 1st! He said that is not when fall is..
I remember years ago looking at home decorating magazines and wishing my house looked like the photos in the magazine or that I could cook up amazing food, have a beautiful garden and be surrounded by family friends just like what they showed...I decided to live out my dreams in my own way!
