Wonderful!! Got some action going.... Milosmom, my ears stay up for Christmas. I just LOVE Christmas..You be careful, sounds like you have a good man. I didn't see the pic. Always make room for more Christmas. LOL Make the best of two worlds, Lots more to decorate, the more the merrier. LOL An hour is not far if you "need" Christmas. HA HA Seasonaldecorating, I have two new, to me, 15ft trees, that I plan to put up this year. One will be all white like I had last year. And the other one is going to be old traditional, like when I was growing up. Kath, I understand, not everyone is ready. Punk, I too buy all though the year for what ever occasion I may see cheap. Just bought an Easter rabbit and grass. Karen, you are always so sweet. Thank you for the permission, however I know I don't need another baby. Daddy and the ones I already have are a full time job. The twins are 15 months, and weigh 13 lbs. a piece. Big boys. Have some cute pics when I get time and can update my program to post. Jeanne, I guess I kind of skip over Halloween and go straight to fall. We don't have any little one to enjoy the fun. Luvs and Nana, I am so sorry you don't have a hobble lobby. Do you have the Christmas tree stores?? I don't. POUT POUT.. I sure hope I didn't leave anyone out, it was not intentional. Thank you all for your reply's.. Take Care everyone and happy decorating and shopping and looking!!! Try to stay cool, We are under a HEAT WARNING today, again. Take Care, Creek

HA!! Get ready Kathleen..you will love what you find at the CTS!! and You too will be saying 'Don't You Just Love A Bargain?'..lol.. I Went back Sunday, and I purchased more round placemats... They have several color selections..I got the green. Also, like I needed it, I got a lovely twig woven Hat, with an apple and berry spray on it for only $4.99. I put it on the inside of my front door. DH said why would you buy it, when you made all those vine wreaths?.. I told him it was too nice to pass up!! LOL sno.. I agree w/kathleen, what a nice project to be working on with that quilt, and such wonderful 'fabric memories'. I did that once with scraps of fabric from dresses I made my DD when she was little...I passed it on to her when she got married. As far as starting several projects going at once..I'm right there with you. I too started this past winter, putting photo albums together of old family photos. My parents had given them to me to hold many years ago, then they never took them back. I took each one out..and some I framed and hung up on the wall going up the stairs. When my MIL saw what I did, she gave me some old photos to add, from my DH's side. The left overs, I'm slowly putting into albums. I had an elderly aunt,(my DF's oldest sister) who came to my house many yrs ago, when I lived in NY, and when she saw the photos on the wall, she me names and told me stories about many I didn't know. I wrote the names on the back so I would remember them, and when I'm gone..my DD or whoever else, would know. I hate when I see photos just thrown away and know one knows who they were.

No Hobby Lobby for me either, I feel so deprived when I see all the goodies that other people get from there! The nearest one is about 150 miles away...I can just see me asking my DD to take me there, she already thinks I have lost my mind, I definately don't need to give her a reason to commit me LOL

Here's my stuff. Two bunches each of the fall foliage, 3 bunches of the greenery, 6 bunches of the berrys, 4 of each of the garland, 5 candles, and the candle rings were a Big Lots purchase from their clearanced fall decor. I use copper in my Christmas/Winter decorations, so I can use everything but the 4 bunches of fall leaves. I'm going to go fancy on the garlands like the one Mommacass posted from a blog. I loved Kathleen_li's use of the candle rings around the soup bowls on her table setting. I can't wait to try that!
