Decorating

Well, as many of you know today is September 23rd the first day of fall. Normally we would postpone all of our decorating until a few weeks from now but, I have never been so anxious for the holiday season to get here. So I thought we should start as soon as possible.

Here are some before pictures of our house, not very pretty... :\

The Den: Before ( it's been a lot like this since the storm )

The Den: After

The Dining Room : Before

The Dining Room : After

The Living Room: After ( Didn't take a before pictures of this one...not sure why )

       


        I think it's important to decorate and celebrate whenever possible. I've heard it said many times that women need beauty in their lives, and I think it's true.

         

So far fall has brought a bunch of good memories. And it's only been here for a litle while.
    First I got to decorate the entire house, always fun. Then sit and talk to my little sister around the candle light about the grace of God and how she has shared it with others. Finished the first Elsie book by lamplight as the rain fell outside. Fell asleep half way through my favorite movie, woke up this morning and talked with the family about what we are greatful for, and about new holiday traditions were going to start and plans for renovating the yard. ( It's gonna be beautiful when were done c ; ) Now the only thing were missing is the cold weather. :\ But I heard it was gonna be in the fifties tonight so we probably don't have long to wait for that.

The Weather Radio... it may not look good but, we decided to keep it around. c ;

You can't have a decorated house without scented candles. Love 'em.

     Happy Fall Everyone. C :
