Everybody's Doing It!

(please excuse bloggers formatting issues, apparently it's mad at me)

Should I jump on the bandwagon? Obviously.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy another rendition of fall favorites according to a blogger. 

Are you ready? Okay, here we go.

The Festivals 

I'm a sucker for all those fall festivals with their yummy foods, homemade crafts and burlap out the wahzoo. Everybody's out and about soaking in the gorgeous weather before winter rears it's ugly head and we are pelted in the face by snow and ice and regretting our decision to live in Kansas. The best one close to me is the Maple Leaf Festival in Baldwin City.

The Louisburg Cider Mill 

If you live anywhere near Louisburg, Kansas I highly suggest a trip to this little place. It's about an hour from my house and I'm always begging my husband to go. If you want the full fall experience, this place has got it. They've got a Pumpkin Patch, a country store with homemade goods (mostly food related), hot cider, cold cider and hot apple cider cinnamon sugar donuts that will make you want to eat a dozen. Somebody bring me one now! 
(p.s. this isn't a sponsored post I just really love them)

Scarves 

Can I just say that I liked scarfs back before they were cool? Cause I did. I bet I have 20 or so, in every color of the rainbow, hanging in my closet right now just begging to be warn. And I'm happy to oblige!

I really want this one! via

The Smell in the Air

Walking outside on a fall morning (not too early obviously) and breathing in the fresh air is pretty much amazing. As is the smell of all the deliciously scented pumpkin and caramel and cinnamon spiced candles. Ugh, I need a new candle stat!

Love this one in the mason jar! via

The Anticipation 

With fall comes the realization that the best Holidays are right around the corner. I'm looking at you Thanksgiving and Christmas. (I won't shove a Christmas photo on you just yet. You're welcome.)

And would I be a real blogger if I didn't at least mention the words "Pumpkin Spice Latte" in a post about fall? Well, now I've mentioned it but I've still never had one and I don't even care. Plus they seem to be getting a lot of hate this year so it must not be the cool thing anymore. 

I guess that's all for now so pull out that ugly sweater vest and enjoy the season.

Happy Fall Y'all!

Pinterest Project

It's time for a Pinterest Project!

That's right people, I'm co-hosting a little Pinterest Project with the awesome Kala at My Breezy Room!

We are super pumped you stopped by to check out the awesomeness:)

Here's what I made...

...scroll down to read how to make your own:)

Here's what Kayla made (read about it here)....

Here's the simple little steps so you can make your own...

Burlap Monogram Wall Art

Okay, this was a super easy project. I found the frame at a garage sale for $2! I loved the shape of the frame but the art just wasn't my thang. 

Gather your supplies

Remove the screws and take apart your frame

Trace the size of your opening and cut out. Cut out your burlap. 

Staple burlap to the cardboard. Admire and smooth out any bumps. 

Paint your frame. I painted mine and decided to change the color so there's no photo. 

You can figure it out though. I trust ya!

Reassemble your frame with the burlap in it.

Trace your monogram onto scrapbook paper. Cut out.

Mod Podge your paper onto your letter. Let Dry.

Put glue dots onto the back of you letter. Attach to burlap.

Flip it over and Ta-freakin-da! 

Easy peasy!
