getting a little autumn on...

I began to unpack my autumn decor and forgot about my little excursion to Hobby Lobby when all the fall went 90% off last year.
(For inquiring minds, it was the Friday before Thanksgiving, Nov 20 last year)
There I was, all by myself, 8 months pregnant and I just sat myself down smack in the middle of the aisle to go through the leftovers. Here is what I came back with:

It looks a Hobby Lobby aisle threw up in my garage :) But how can you resist fall foliage for 39 cents?

Added a touch of the ribbon:

And we have the first sign of autmn around here!

Hopefully there will be more,
but my family told me this weekend that the
who- can-find-a-pair-of-not-really-that-dirty-socks-in-the-hamper-before-school-starts
game isn't so much fun anymore.

They said that some moms actually wash the clothes, fold them, and then put them neatly in drawers.
Whoa...now there is a creative idea.
