Fall Tweaking

Hello everybody and Happy Fall!!
         I've been working a bit on my fall display
                 on my steps going up the back of our deck.

This week I got a bale of straw and stacked

pumpkins, squash and gourds on it.

I found these mums that had this faded

pink coloring to them with a soft yellow center
 and I thought they'd be a nice change to the

fall decorating.

My daughter came home for the weekend and

she wanted to carve a pumpkin.  I knew if

we did it would be a shriveled up mess before

Halloween so we opted to do a little 

art work instead.  She painted

one of my pumpkins with a checkerboard

And I put tape under the leaves on a
 pumpkin and

gave it a spray painting!

I also got a new pumpkin yesterday

called a wart pumpkin

I know they are kind of ugly but 

I guess like the old warts on

witches I figured it's perfect

for Halloween!

 Now I have to get my husband to

stop blowing all the leaves away so 

it looks even more fallish!

(P.S. I found the lantern at T.J.Maxx)

Hope your fall decorating is coming along

and that you are enjoying this stunning

fall weather like we are having!
