Check out these cool fall wreath ideas...

Kristin's acorn wreath. I helped Kris collect hundreds of acorns for this wreath on BSU's campus. Most of the acorns on the ground were "topless" so, eventually, we learned to just pluck them right off the tree branches. I think the people walking by thought we were a little strange. One hippie-type lady accused us of stealing from the squirrels. Hehe. Sorry squirrels. P.S. Kristin said this took her 3+ hours, 2 acorn collection trips, and several hot glue gun burns. Instructions here.

Natalie's lima bean wreath. Both of these wreaths are easy and affordable. Well, time consuming, but definitely, cheap! It's just a styrofoam wreath (~$5), a hot glue gun & ribbon. Acorns were obviously free, and lima beans are about $1/bag! Spray paint optional. (Is it just me or does the lima bean wreath look a bit like snake skin?) Instructions here.

Fall...

How can anyone dislike the fall? It's stunning. So stunning in fact that I've been stealing pictures from our sunroof while driving. For the past week, we've had 70 degree weather & gorgeous blue skies. Eric and I have been doing our best to take advantage of the season - ice blocking, frisbee golf, street markets, a little hiking, and a lot of football.

Nothin' scary about it...

Halloween was yesterday, and it was a perfect day for being outdoors. My niece Cami and I decided to take advantage of the weather and autumn colors by taking a stroll along the river...
