A fall project

I love to watch football - both NFL and College, but I always feel lazy if that's all I do all day. So, today I've been getting some much needed cleaning done and also decided to do a fall project. I've seen this a few times on Pinterest, and decided my empty dining room wall would be a perfect spot.

I started with scrapbook paper. The project I saw on Pinterest used fabric, but the scrapbook paper was only 59 cents a piece and also ended up being half off.




I then cut the scrapbook paper to fit into 8x10 frames I found for $3 each at Kohls. I took the picture that came in the frame and traced it on the back of the scrapbook paper to make sure I was cutting the exact size I needed.
I put them in the frames and now my part is done! :) CJ will have to hang them on the wall - I'm terrible at making things straight when hanging so I'll leave that for him to make perfect!

My next project - a fall wreath! I'm a little intimidated by this one because my Mamaw was always the person to make my wreaths so I've been putting it off. I'll post a final pic eventually!



I was also able to get a few fall decorations out today. I love pumpkins and think a person can never have too many! :)  

And because she's cute...Emma was not interested in cleaning, football, or crafts (excuse the grainy iPhone pics)!

Let's be clear about this, a person CAN have too many pumpkins...Of course, you'd never approach that though, right? RIGHT?! :)
