Thanksgiving...not to be neglected...well...maybe this year!

I was actually really good this year, and got the Halloween decor down on November 2nd...kind of amazing really.  I left all my fall decor up...and realized I have very little "Thanksgiving" decor....just this cute couple...

and some dangles for my Welcome sign...
(all the wood items were purchased at the Wood Connection and then painted at home)

But that will have to do for this year...I have already started finishing up some Christmas decor for next month...and I still have WAY TOO MANY bracelets to get done. I don't want to forget Thanksgiving...so I guess the fall decor will have to satisfy me for the next month (2 weeks really)!

Do you decorate for Thanksgiving?

I'm linking to another fabulous week over at The DIY show-off for another fall festival!

Halloween welcome sign dangles

I have a love for The Wood Connection...and things wood that they have there for me to paint...



I try not to have new dangles for every month...mostly holidays and seasons...
I just can't help myself...I love it!

Fall Festival with a knock off knock out...

I have been so inspired by everyone's front porch decor that I thought I would give it a whirl...
These are the 2 (yep, only 2) pumpkins from my garden...

with a little bronzey gold spray paint (I was going for more bronze...but is is looking more gold, oh well!) 

I got this at Tai Pan Trading for $10...

sprayed it black (I am hoping to add a little green tree for christmas)
and added some "stuff" to my pumpkins...

and more stuff to the vase.  I have also loved the spray painted branches so I had to add one as well...then a couple sparkly bats leftover from this project...and got this.

I needed something for my door, but I didn't want to do a wreath.  I was walking through Joanns last week (shocking, I know) and saw a witch's broom with hot pink sparkly sticks.  I loved it and wanted one for my front door, but hot pink really didn't go with my above planter/pumpkin thing.  So I thought what I most always think..."I can do that myself". 

So off Lil D and I went on a walk through the park and on the parkway by the river on a hunt for twigs....here's what we (I) found...Lil D was more interested in pushing the stroller.  What was in the stroller you ask?...nope, not a doll...a car...he takes his cars and trains for walks...he's cute like that:) Anyway, we got ourselves a lot of twigs, sprayed them orange...added some glitter...used hot glue to attach them to a big stick...put on a ribbon and sparkly bat...

and got this...

My front porch is still lacking a little bit, but I have a few more ideas to finish it off...hopefully before Halloween:)
