All Things Fall! A Round-up of 24 Fall Decorating Ideas!

Can you feel it in the air yet?

Has fall arrived where you live?

Our weather in Illinois isn't reflecting the fall at all--with plenty of days in the high 80s yet, we've only had a few crisp mornings and cool nights!

Nevertheless, it's time to get your home ready for fall, even if the weather trails behind.

Here's a bit of inspiration for you. I've collected these ideas from some blogger pals. Click on their picture to go directly to their blog to learn how to make the project or to PIN it for later!

Wow, if you aren't inspired to decorate for fall after these pictures, I'm not sure you will ever be.

If you stop over and visit any of the blogs that are showcased here, please let them know where you are visiting from!

Be sure to PIN this for later! And make sure you are following me on Pinterest, too!

It's THE PIN IT PARTY!! What fun!

Can I just say how thrilled I am to be part of this party? The creative peeps who link up every week are amazing. Here were my top three from last week's party:

 

Doesn't it look some divine? And healthy? Click the pic to get the recipe!

It's a PINTASTIC Friday! And week in pics, too!

Wow, we've had some crazy weather this week. Lots of rain and local flooding. Our summer nights are starting to free up now, too, thanks to the sports seasons for both kids wrapping up this week. I love watching them play, but could do without running all over the place for games and practices! We are also counting down for our vacation. Getting really excited!

Are you on Facebook? I'm reaching a milestone with my followers. If you aren't following Crazylou on Facebook, click HERE and press "like"  and share my page with your friends. I will be giving away a fabulous prize once I hit that milestone!

Here are some pictures from this week, which you probably have seen if you follow me on Instagram (find me @crazyloucreations):

 

 

Did you catch the Super Moon over the weekend? I love how bright it was.

 

 

A neighbor of mine had a gathering at her house where we learned how to make our own homemade, natural products. I'll be doing a blog post about this soon! It was fun!

 

 

All of this rain has my herbs growing like crazy!

 

 

Here are my favorite PINS of the week, which will also be PINNED again to my PINASTIC Friday Board!

 

 

This salad looks so refreshing! YUM! Check it out over on lmld.org!

 

This is taking the ice cream cakes to an entirely new level! Can't wait to make this for our next gathering! Get the scoop over at Blooming on Bainbridge!

Have a great weekend! Can you believe 4th of July is already next week?????

 

 





 

 



PINTASTIC Friday & Week in Review

It's finally Friday. I think I say that every week! Today I am heading out to a golf outing for work. Any day not spent behind the desk and computer is a good day--even if I don't do so well on the links!

Did you see my post yesterday about our House Party Super Soaker Party? SO. MUCH. FUN. Check it out here. How about Father's Day--we had absolutely gorgeous weather here in IL for the weekend--it was a busy day, but I got to spend it with all my top pops in my life!

Hailey made her dad breakfast (in bed) for Father's Day. She did this all by herself. I didn't get this for Mother's Day, so I think she likes him more than me. Yes, I have issues!

Here is a picture of me and my dad. This is where I get my silly craziness from.

Hailey loves driving the lawn mower around Nanny & Papa's yard. I remember doing this, too. Only I would be wearing my Walkman!

The loves of my life. Dad and kids. Great pic!



On to my top PINS of the week! Oh, and I've created a special PINTASTIC Friday Board on Pinterest. Be sure you follow it!

Our family loves Nutella. This is on my list to bake! Check out Sally's Baking Addiction for the recipe.

I've been making home cleaners for a few years, but haven't found a good toliet bowl cleaner. Gonna have to try this one by diy Confessions.

Maybe it's the marketing person in me, but I love fonts. Aren't these cute? Go get them over at The Crafting Chicks.

Thank you for joining me. Have a great weekend!
