Touches of Fall

even though I'm gearing up for Christmas (as evidenced in previous posts), I really do enjoy the fall/autumn season as well. here are a few of the fall touches gracing our home these days.

Green Christmas

this year I'm trying to wrap all my gifts with the abundance of products already in my house. I'm also trying to find and recycle other items I might normally throw away. for instance, I recently ordered some clothes for Joseph from Children's Place (great sale by the way) and the shorts came tied up in this fun string. it was reused on a present . . .along with some leftover gimp from a sewing project.homemade gift tags are also a great way to use up scrapbook paper leftovers!

ahead of the game - part 2

the pile of presents is growing!
