FALL is in the air!!!

I absolutely LOVE the fall!! From September to Thanksgiving I love to put out the warm, beautiful decorations of the season! This is the first floral arrangement that I ever made back in 1995 and I just love it! I saw a picture in a catalog and it was VERY expensive. My friend said you can make that, so I took her at her word, went to JoAnns and purchased the goodies to make this puppy up! I then proceeded to procrastinate!!! lol Finally autumn was coming to a close and Billie asked me when I was going to make that! I made the time and I put it together. Thru the years, it has been picked at by my daughter, and grandchildren and our lovely golden retriever! The turkey needs to be resecured and the flowers need to be renewed. I may use this as a procrastination project as I have been saying this for about 4 or more years now! I need to do it! But I thought I would share this with you as it looks so comforting and inviting on the table in front of our living room window. I used to put it on the coffee in the front room but we so seldom are in there; we can enjoy it more here. :)

But that wasn't ALL that I did today!

I told you that I have been organizing my house! Well, part of organizing is also adorning things as you would like! So, today I made the altered pens! I made one bucket for next to the phone in the kitchen, one bucket for my desk at work (Yes, I am reorganizing there too!) and one for a gift!. I am very pleased with how they turned out. And, yes, it was easy.
