On looking back...

 (Dundee the horse- Princess #1's very  favorite!)

 "Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone;

and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come.

Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering." -unknown

Happy Monday!

Blessings!

"a beautiful butterfly"!

 * a stack of inspiration

Feelin' a little Fall...

 

so I decided to make a little wreath...

 

beginning with one of my favorite things!- fabric scraps!

 

I created a few "fall-looking"  flowers and leaves...

 

then simply wrapped a straw wreath form with burlap...

created a large burlap ruffle and hot glued to the wreath, then 

created a smaller ruffle and glued on top of the larger ruffle...

 

attached my "fall flowers" ...

 

 looped a chocolate brown ribbon around the top, tied a simple bow, 

then hung on the front door...

 

and now the house is starting to "feel a little Fall"!

How about you?

Are you feelin' a little Fall too?

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Many Blessings!
