Hi Beautiful people,
JT after Hobby Lobby haul
It is that time of the year when the warm days give way to the cooler nights. The leaves are falling and the burning bush in the backyard is starting to turn a deep red. While I have always loved the fall season and the cooler temperatures, I never really decorated much for the season except for hanging a wreath on the front door. However, last year my friend took me to her sister’s house and that is when everything changed. As I walked into her house, I could feel the warmness welcoming and it felt so cozy and inviting. I wanted to do my inspiration on that design throughout my house and yard. I am all about celebrating and decorating for Christmas, but I can now say that I am a Fall and Autumn decorator as well.
On my hubby’s birthday, we went to Chuck’s Boot to find his new birthday boots. In the store, my hubby felt like a kid in a candy store and I will share that experience will be for another post. After having fun there we stopped by Hobby Lobby to see if they had any sunflowers. When we walked in and realized it was a 40% sale on all Fall Holiday decorations, we had to see what else we could find. We found some really good deals on several cute items. Hobby Lobby is a great place to find holiday decor at a reasonable price. Typically all of the current holiday items will be discounted 40% or more. You can even go after the holiday and find deeper discounts as well. You will also find so many wonderful non-holiday decor items in the store. It’s just wonderful.
Jay and I had so much fun decorating that we filmed a video of how we decorated the front and backyard.

Three Top Tips To Fall Decorating
1 Think about what is your style and have fun experiment with it. You don’t have to put up a gazillion decorations (unless you want to).
2. See what stores have available, what is on sale or as a great deal. You don’t have to pay full price for seasonal items. If you are crafty like me, you can make a wreath or add pizazz to the decorations you have by additional items, like a a faux sunflower or gourd.
3.Try something different or unexpected, like battery-operated fall leaves around your mailbox or longsteamed sunflowers in a vase.
The main point is to enjoy yourself and have fun. And see if the family would like to get involved.
Happy Decorating!
