Fall Fun!

What a great meeting we had today! First off, we had 47 ladies there! That in itself is just awesome! This ministry is all about connecting moms, forming friendships and growing in the Lord and I truly believe God is at work. We are so excited about it and we hope all of you are as well!

Second, our speaker, Susie, was so fun and WOW, is she ever creative! She came prepared with so many fall decorating ideas, all of which can be done on a major budget! I'm so glad there are people in this world that can think of these things and share them with those of us that are a little challenged in the area of crafting and decorating! :) Thank you, Susie! We loved your ideas and enjoyed it do much. Here are some of the great things she showed us. First is a faux mantle - lots of great tips for how to spruce it up for fall.

She also used this small table and gave ideas for decorating an entryway table.

And last some cute things to place on your kitchen window.

She found a pillow at a well known home decor store that's a little higher end and said it was pretty pricy, so she went home and made her own for next to nothing! How cute!!

After Susie finished up, we got to work on the cutest burlap pumpkins! Our amazing craft girl, Ashley, spent hours and hours cutting out all these pumpkins, hot gluing them together and getting them ready for us to add our own touch to them. Everyone loved the craft and I expect that we'll see lots of these hanging on doors all around town! :) Thanks, Ashley for coming up with something so cute and so fun!

Here's just one of the finished product!

And here are our girls having fun and working hard!
