Autumn Greetings

I got this autumn decorations about 8 years ago on clearance at CVS. How do I remember that? No clue....
For me, blue, grean and red don't scream "I love fall" and those fakey things on the top are just B.A.D. So I got out some spray paint from the basement.

 I put scotch tape over the "Autumn greetings" to protect the sign, since my kitchen is blue and I'm too lazy to repaint that by hand.


I put it on my kitchen shelf along with the present my sister gave me: FALL tea light candle holders.
BEFORE:
After all the talk about P.O.O.P.I.E.S. over here, I was very nervous to buy a fall wreath for my door. I took my time looking around, and decided on this one from JoAnn's. It looks sorta real, I guess. It's better quality that the cheap stuff I'm drawn to (due to price) It didn't stand out well against my black door, so I added some red leaves.

AFTER:


I think it looks better in person than in the photo. (I hope anyway!)

    You inspired me to take a photo of my own door and wreath! I love that I have a picture now of my fall decorating efforts! Great job on the wheelbarrow :-)

    Again, you are so creative! You must be totally full of energy. Can you bottle some of that up for me? I would pay a hefty sum! :)
