fall wreaths

I'm not the best person at decorating my house for fall. I know this because Rory informed me of this fact the other week. He said we needed more fall decorations. Now, when your hubby brings that fact up...I knew that I was slacking. ;)

So here are my fall wreath efforts...


I took one of these:


took apart some of these:

added a lot of this:

and made this!

Multiplied by two, for my double doors. I got the wreaths and berries on sale at Michaels-so each wreath set me back about $8. Not too shabby.

What is shabby is my pathetic front porch. I need some planters and greenery-stat!

(and yes, the wreaths are a little off in the height department...I need to get matching wreath hangers. Wow my door decorating skillz are sad)

They look really great! I made a fall wreath for my husband's Grandmother years ago. I got really carried away gluing leaves all over it. She has very few decorations to begin with and is one of the most frugal people I know (you know how those depression-era types are) and I only saw it hanging that first year, so you know it must have been bad! Great job on yours! I need to get my fall decorations out here, too!

You're probably ahead of me on decorating for fall. And I don't know what it is about wreaths, but they intimidate me. I love yours though. They turned out great.

Uhhhhhh does your door say Hello at the bottom? I sincerely dig.
Love the wreaths too--I love fall decorations but I'm afraid to decorate a wreath...not where my skills are :)

My husband has been saying things like that to me lately too!! I have never been talented in the decorating department but I am trying! I love the wreaths! I need to try something like that!
