Fall Decorating

I am a klutz when it comes to decorating for anything. I have really good intentions.......I really do. I buy all the Southern Living At Home stuff and then it sits in a corner in my dining room with all the spider webs and dog hair because I don't know what to do with it........along with a few Pampered Chef things that I also order and stick in the corner. When Goldilocks issued the "Fall Decorating Challenge" (dorman4.blogspot.com)I really WANTED to participate. Let's be honest.......I'm competitive about some things and I really wanted her to look at my stuff, call me and tell me that I "won" the Fall Decorating Challenge. (Like when PapaBear and I WIN at Canasta when we square off against Goldilocks and T)

So I had all these visions of what my Fall Decorating scheme would be......pumpkins, leaves, mums on the front porch, hay bales in the front yard, scarecrows in the bushes, autumn colored candles on the tables.

I decided to start small, since this really isn't my "gift".



Here is the fridge before Fall Decorating began.



Here is the fridge AFTER Fall Decorating was complete. (notice the touch of Sunflowers......those are a fall flower, right?)



PeeWee wanted to be decorated for Fall.


Maggie wanted to be decorated for Fall.Ruthie............... wasn't so open to the idea.............
It took her a little time............I think she has self esteem issues. Maybe she doesn't like the pumpkin ribbon with wires in it.

But she finally warmed up to her custom Fall accessory.............for like 3 minutes. And then she peed on my kitchen floor. I think it was her little way of contributing to the Fall color palate...you know................... hues of yellows.

Basically, it boils down to this: Goldilocks must save me. Once she comes down here, takes all the Southern Living stuff and waves her incredible decorating wand over everything.....I'll post the pics. I hope she takes on the challenge........otherwise, it will be up to Ruthie.
