Autumn Time

It's autumn time,

It's autumn time, 

The leaves are falling down!

I LOOOOVE this time of year.

Jared has to suffer with me telling him every fall about all of the things that I LOVE about this beautiful season.

just to name a few:

kneaders pumpkin bread

kneaders pumpkin steamers

General Conference

the leaves changing on the mountains

driving the alpine loop

smelling the air (this is a true one)

shopping at thrift stores for Halloween costumes

Halloween!

candy corn

(Jared hates candy corn... too bad.... more for me!)

stepping on crunchy leaves

Gilmore Girls

(for some reason, I only watch GG during the fall)

Oktoberfest!

Hot Chocolate

soups

watching Disney's Legend of Sleepy Hollow

and Hocus Pocus

my Mom's front porch

and all other fall decor 

My Halloween decor this year WINS!

Meet: The Ghost Family

from left to right: Boo Jr., Spirit, Casper, Donna, and Boo Sr.

Yep, those are dryer sheets that you see hanging over my living room. Why, might you ask, would you hang dryer sheets up?? They're GHOSTS, guys. C'mon! A whole family of ghosts!

Can you guess where we got Boo, and Boo Jr.'s names? Yep. I just barely learned that Jared's whole plan while naming our ghost family, was to name all of them Boo so he wouldn't have to remember which one was which...

 Booooooooooo, you whore! (name that movie!)

note my awesome throw on the back of my couch

my Great Grandma Coleman made it

my Beautiful Aunt Becky gave it to me as a wedding gift. I love her so much for giving that to me. She is such a sweet auntie.

Trick or Treat???

I hope that y'all have fun doing your favorite things of this beautiful time of year!

Happy Autumn Time!

more decor

we had to get a new computer.

so therefore we needed to get rid of our massive hutch taking up most of our wall.

mom put me in charge of the empty wall.

and this is what it now looks like...

i keep staring at the wall... haha

xo,

anna mae

new look.

Thank you

Erin Marie Spencer

for your kind work in re-designing my blawg.

you're good in that artsy department.

also: CONGRATULATIONS on being a top pick at that sick-nasty-arbeque-sauce art show we went to. that was fun.

xoxo.

Have a Glorious MONDAY!

Valentines Door

I decided to make things look warmer...

even though it is FREEZING outside.

It was very fun to make,

and now it's very fun to look at!

xo

Christmas Star

The other day I went to my favorite store in the world.

IKEA

Oooooooh, I could never get sick of this place.

They have the best deals,

the cutest furniture,

the most wonderful Swedish Meatballs,

and the BEST frozen yogurt ever!

They had some nice Christmas decorations up, and there was one that caught my eye.

I bought this little beauty.

$12

Now wasn't that a great steal?

I love it. It hangs in my bedroom, from my ceiling.

I think I'll leave it up year-round.

halloweenie

Mom gave me the privilege this year of decorating our front porch.

Here's how it turned out!

spidery ribon found at Dollar Tree!

homemade broomstick.

(i gathered branches from Anderson Park)

yep, picked dead flowers from mumsies garden, and put them in her jackolantern-tin-pot.

I even wired the broom to the chair to ensure it's safety from burglary.

Joo like?..
