I'm busy painting my barn so I thought I'd share a few photos of my front porch which I decorated with fall in mind. Normally I don't do much. During the summer I have ferns in my urns and those will stay green well into the end of October (November we start decorating for Christmas).

A Simple Autumn Fireplace Mantel
I wanted to do a little something fallish for my fireplace mantel and decided I'd make an autumn leaf garland. Only I got rid of all my scrapbook paper last year :) I used to decoupage a lot but last year I was de-cluttering all my craft supplies and I was thinking about what types of projects I really wanted to do.
