When I was at the Dollar Store one day I came across packages of fall leaves made of fabric. I wasn't sure what I could do with them but in my cart they went. Then, once I started decorating for fall I realized I needed a fall banner in my front hallway. The Dollar Store leaves worked out perfectly!
All you need to make this are the leaves from the Dollar Store - or you could cut some out of scrapbook paper- and vinyl for the letters. I used a copper vinyl and cut the letters to spell "Happy Fall" out on my Silhouette. Then you put one letter on each leaf. To hang them I took the stem of the leaf and twisted it over the ribbon hanging on my wall. I LOVE how it turned out!
The calendar says it is Fall but here in Orlando it is still 90 degrees! I did break out the fall decorations the other day and realized I had a whole bag of pinecones and wasn't sure what to do with them. Here is what I came up with:
This craft is super easy, quick, and free! All you need is pinecones, ribbon, and a glue gun. First I cut a bunch of ribbon and then tied one end around the tips of the pinecones. Next, take and put a dab of glue on the tip to hold the ribbon securely onto the pinecones. Then I took a smaller piece of ribbon and tied a bow around where I put the hot glue. That is all there is to it! I hung them on the inside of my front door with a command hook. Perfect for the fall!
My boys have inherited my sweet tooth and love M & M's. They asked me to make them some cookies over the weekend and I had a bag of Fall Harvest colored M & M 's so I decided to whip up these M & M cookie bars. I love these because they are quick and easy, which is needed right now with a newborn!
Ingredients Needed:
Ingredients for your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe
1 bag of M & M 's
First, prepare your dough according to your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe up to the point of adding the chips. I used the Nestle Toll House recipe.
Once the dough is made stir in the bag of M & M's.
At this point you could make the dough into cookies but since I have a newborn and little time I decided to spread the dough in a 13 x 9 pan.
Next, cook in preheated 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely, cut, and enjoy the yummy M & M cookie bars!
