Is anyone sick of my pins yet?

Good, cause here's another!

Aren't these cool?  I wish I had known of Pinterest before my wedding.  I woulda DIY'd the crap outta the decor.  Of course, Mom did a pretty amazing job on her own!

Anyways, I found some sticks in my basement from back in the day, picked up a couple pieces of scrapbook paper, and a pretty pitcher for $12 at JoAnn's.

And then I threw them on the pile of crap that used to be my dining room table.

 Here's a little rosette!  Isn't he cute?

 Start out with a square of paper.  Like this.

 Cut it in a spiral.  You can make a wavey spiral to make the final rosette look a little more petal-like.

 Now we roll.  You can start from the inside or outside.  Try one of both and decide which look you like better.  I like them both.

 And you have a little flower!

 Precious little flower.

 The flowers will have holes in the bottom - easy peasy to stick on a twig!

I did a few different fall-ish colors. 

The marshmallow sign does not leave that bench.  Ever.  Anyone and everyone who has ever been in my house loves that sign.  As do I.  

Thanks Mom :)

 While we're at it, lets just take a peek at some of my other fall decorations.

The entryway table:

Little halloween blocks I found at the local home decorating store. 

 I wrapped some burlap ribbon around white pillar candles from HobLob and hot glued them.

Don't mind the strange kids in the picture frame - haven't had a chance to put my own picture in there yet. 

And that's all for now.  

Off to bed to dream of Pinterest.
