Happy November!
How did everyone survive Halloween? We ended up getting about 32 kids which is a reduced number. Guess everyone is growing up! I ended up with a little more candy that ought to stay in the house, so I’ll be donating it somewhere… soon! I need it gone… those cheezies get me every time. How did you make out?
In other news, I wasn’t sure what to do about fall. I was just gonna let it pass on by while I fired up Christmas, but I honestly don’t want it up yet! So I decided to gitter done..
Rustic fall living room tour with crates and pumpkins by Funky Junk Interiors
…and in an afternoon, I created quite the little cozy living room! I have to admit, I’m so glad I made the push to do it. If nothing else, it’ll hopefully keep the decorations boxed for a little while longer… LOL
That said, I’ll be doing a mix of fall and Christmas over November so there’s something for everyone.
Based on what you guys are up to, it isn’t to early for Christmas projects though! They are starting to come out in full force, as you can see by some of these AMAZING features from last week’s party…

Thank you Donna for featuring my little trees. Hope you had a fun Halloween ?.
Yes!!! Thank you for choosing my Diy. Your blog is an inspiration to everyone. I love the other works that you choose are a show. A nice weekend ☻♥
As soon as that calendar flipped it’s full-on Christmas over here. Well, I’m trying hard to refrain from decorating until after Remembrance Day but the workshop has the red glitter flying. Thank you so much, Donna, for featuring my Christmas box! I like your idea of using it as a laptop storage box too. Enjoy your weekend in that lovely rustic and cozy Fall living room! xo
Trying to get in the Christmas creative mood over here, Donna! Been perusing past projects and magazines to get the juices flowing. It’s a real struggle this year:( It will eventually come, I’m sure! Thanks for hosting! Enjoy your cozy living room!
My little shed thanks you, the resort office is closed for the season, and next year when it opens it is going to get some more refurbishing.
You have given me much inspiration. Thank you!
