Fall craft complete!

I hand painted each letter!
The letters F & A
The letter L
The final product! So happy with it 


I love making crafts! This is a Pinterest project that turned out lovely. I purchased everything from JoAnn's craft store for under $20 (coupons come in handy). Working on crafts while my son naps is perfect. A home that is quiet and well stocked with everything crafty equals a well done project. I am still working on the decor inside the home and will add another post (I need blog material). Hanging this up was a pain. My ankle gave out while I was going up and down the ladder. Tears were shed so I am proud to say that "blood, sweat, and tears" were incorporated into this fun fall craft. Haha!!!! This will be a part of my yearly Fall decorations. What are some of your fun fall decor? Have you made anything new?

My Fall bucket list

I love the Fall season!! Recently I came across a fun bucket list for the Fall. I have to be honest and tell everyone that I have already "demolished" a Pumpkin Spice Latte. That was on the top of my list and it might have to be on my list for next year. I want to share my fun list....

*Drink a Pumpkin Spice Latte (from Starbucks- I made a huge mistake ordering it from elsewhere and it was horrible!)
*Go to a pumpkin patch
*Carve a pumpkin 
*Curl up next to a cozy fire
*Take pictures in the leaves 
*Go apple picking
*Bake a pie (homemade!)
*Jump in puddles (if there is rain, fingers crossed)
*Watch a funny spooky movie (my favorite Hocus Pocus)
*Drink spiced cider
*Go on a hay ride 
*Explore the giant corn maze 

Last but not least take a family portrait with the beautiful fall scenery! 

I hope I can tackle this bucket list! Here is the one I found online:
What is your fall bucket list? Do you have a fall tradition? Since Kaden has been born we have taken pictures of him with pumpkins and we always go to the pumpkin patch. He is now two & a half so I think he really knows what is going on. He already picked out his pumpkins and enjoys them as decor. He spotted the pumpkin patch today and was beyond excited. A weekday visit will be in the works. We don't like crowds. Can't wait to see some bucket list!
