So I attempted to turn our decorations on top of our entertainment center over to a more fall theme..but hadn't gotten much farther than taking the little fake green apples from our wedding and sticking them in a few different sized vases. Part of my problem was that I really really didn't want to spend any money on decorating. So finally last night, I decided it was time to get creative. So I wandered around our little place, looking for inspiration. And of course, what do we have a lot of? Noni products! So I gathered together these little product boxes and got to work.
And what else do I have a lot of? Why, scrapbooking paper of course. I covered each box in a different paper and then inked the edges. I had some old cardboard letters that I painted gold and glued to the front of each. And there you have it! It took under half an hour, and now we have a lovely little decoration. Oh and the boxes stand up great, seeing how most of them still have their products inside. :-)

So our entertainment center top looks like this now. I want to get some wheat to put in those green vases, but that will have to be anther day. But I did put a different picture of us in a more fall-ish frame, and there you can see my lovely apples in their vases.
And of course, since Halloween is well on its way now, it was time to get out my Peanuts Halloween figures. The whole gang is here -
Linus, ever faithfully waiting for the Great Pumpkin, and Sally, trusting in him so explicitly
Lucy, dressed up in "exactly the opposite of her true character"
And yes, thats Charlie Brown under the sheet with a million holes, complete with his bag full of rocks. Poor guy.
And then Schroeder and Snoopy, who is dressed as the WWI Flying Ace. 
Alright, so I'm a dork, but I love Peanuts. I have It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! on DVD and we'll be watching it here soon, and you all are welcome to come enjoy it with us!

How cute! And very creative. I need to decorate my house for fall....I've been moving so often for so long that I don't ever take the time/effort to put up decorations anymore. Kind of sad.
Or maybe I'm just in denial that it's not summer anymore?
