Happy FALL Y'all!

There is no denying it...

Once September rolls around, my heart goes FULL SWING into FALL!

Craig & I have both always loved this season.

Quite possibly for different reasons:

I love ~ the colors, the smells, the leaves falling, pumpkins as well as all the yummy desserts you can make from pumpkin, sweaters, candles, cozy blankets, etc...

Craig loves ~ Football (especially WVU), the cool weather, Hunting, Riding up on the hill behind MawMaw's on the four-wheeler, camping, climbing....

No matter the reason for our excitement of the season... I decided to bring Fall to India by decorating our home:

This lovely wreath was my birthday present from Craig's sister, Jodi

Thanks-(I LOVE IT!)

Of course... my favorite PUMPKIN of ALL!

(Look he even picked flowers for me! Such a sweet boy)

" What Mama? You thought these were for YOU???... Silly Mama- hehehe "

We decided to have a little Fall Ladie's Brunch as well @ Beth's one Saturday morning:

Pumpkin Bars, Quiche, Fruit Salad

on some fun fall plates :)

 

And then we dove into some Fall Crafting:

The essentials = Fall colored daal, glasses, fabric, scissors, paper, and....

toilet paper (what- I said essentials didn't I?)

The RESULTS:

Some Lovely Pumpkins & colorful candle holders

My Pumpkin trio & candle creations

Sarah's Pumpkin trio & candles













Beth's Pumpkin trio & candles

When I got home- I busted out my FAVORITE Fall decorations that I had brought with me

(Thanks Jodi for reminding me!)

And went to town decorating the house:

My pumpkins- oh how I love them!

(They look even more lovely with my new candles, don't they?)

 

Fall table cloth (I found this fabric at the market- oh sweet surprises!)

and YUMMY MacIntosh Apple scent filling the air 

My pumpkin Trio's new home & Fall candle plate:

 

Best of all...

A precious reminder to be THANKFUL to the Creator of ALL things!

Philippians 4:6-7

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in EVERYTHING by PRAYER and supplication with THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known to God.

And the PEACE of GOD, which surpasses ALL understanding will guard your HEARTS and your MINDS in CHRIST JESUS" 

AND in Hindi for our guests:

I have so many reasons to give THANKS to the one who created me and saved me.

Fall is just ONE of the MANY precious ways that He bestows His LOVE and creation upon me-

He is such a precious & caring Father who LOVES us deeply.

~With Gratitude in my Heart Lord~
