Happy Fall Y'all!

I don't know about you, but as soon as the calendar flips to September 1st, I am in the FALL mood! Maybe it's the warm autumn colors, or the hope of cooler weather, but I can't wait to celebrate fall!

I am posting some great Halloween ideas that I have copied from the Hostess with the Mostess blog. It seems like there are so many cost effective ways of decorating for fall! Candy corn is super cheap, and it comes in so many colors! You can also save them in a ziplock bag for the next year...and it will help you not want to eat your displays, knowing that you have 5 year old candy corns!! ;) What a fun way to serve cupcakes or goodies!!
My Aunt Cheri got me hooked a couple of years ago on this fall treat! There is just something about the salty and sweet! These make great party favors, (watch peanut allergies for kids though) for kids or adults! I love how they added the rhinestone for a little extra bling!

Candy corns, along with autumn leaves, coffee beans, nuts, acorns, etc., make great filler for vases and hurricanes! For use with fresh flowers, place your flowers in a jar, vase, or glass, smaller than the container, and fill with water and flowers. Then add your goodies, and you have an adorable centerpiece! Add ribbon, and you're set!
