Fall Mantel 2014

Fall is right around the corner...

the cool breeze, no humidity, the smell of outdoor firewood burning, leaves falling... 

I love it!!

As most of you may know...

every year... 

I try to do a fall mantel.

This year was no exception...

And of course... 

I had to bring out the ol' hammer, paint, and glue on this one.

My house was under construction for a few days.

But I got it finished!

Sooo...

here is my Fall Mantel for 2014...

Welcome to my

Pumpkin Patch!

I decided to go a little arts and crafty on this one.

DIY Backyard Makeover... part two

Finally finished!! 

Well, sorta... 

still adding little touches here and there... but the heavy hard work is finally finished!

In this post here... I took you through the journey of our back yard issues and our redo(s) along the way.

But finally... I can show you what our backyard looks like now...

It went from this...

To this...
