When we first built our house and Jess was a little girl, I tried to decorate some for each holiday...but, over the years, I totally got out of the habit!!!
I think what inspired me this year is partly Jess doing so many crafts for use in their future home...and all the beautiful fall decorations that I see in the stores...and on other people's blogs. For lots of ideas, go check out this blog:
All of that got me all inspired to decorate a little for fall this year myself...after all...it is my favorite season of the year!!!
I took these pics because I want to let you know how easy it is to come up with things....that are very inexpensive.

I took this picture because I wanted you to see my shelf. I absolutely love this shelf because Pappy made it for me!!! I painted it green and "antiqued" it with watered down brown paint. The blue Mason jars came from my grandmother...she gave them to me, and I wouldn't take anything for them!!! The leaves on the shelf came in a pack of about 50 for $1.00 in the dollar section at Target!!! The little pumpkins sitting on the candle holders are Dollar Store finds!! And, the cornucopia...I won that little basket at a shower!!!
(I have a Bible marker that says God loved us so much He gave us CHOCOLATE!!!)
The lamp is old, too...I think it came from Dollar General. I bought the bead trim and hot glued it around the edges of the shade.
I have a few other things around the house that are fallish....and cheap. The wreath on my front door came from a yard sale.
So....see....you can decorate and have things around you that you enjoy....and still stay on a budget!!!
In His Love...and with mine!!!
