I did it! Here's my fall decorations

[Marty]

I apoligize in advance if these pictures are HUGE.

For some reason, photobucket doesn't seem to be re-sizing my

pictures anymore very well.

Thank You to Roxy's Run for inspiring me to put our fall decorations out this year.

I tried a couple of weeks ago and failed miserably. Today I tried again and succeeded

and so happy I did. Dan came home and smiled and I got a big hug. Hugs from Dan

are always good.

Then he drug me off to the store to buy Halloween cookies for him to bake for

his friends this weekend. Yea, the kid bakes cookies and decorates them too.

Then he grabbed bags of candy corn and assorted

Halloween candy (which he now has in his room while watching Freddy VS Jason).

Boy is he going to be sick in the morning. He's really getting into the season

and it's not even October. Jerry came home and said the place looked nice too.

Three people in my house smiled today.

Here is a quicky centerpiece that I made today from a basket and junk.

Amazing what you can do with a glue gun.

I also have Fall/Harvest dishtowels and potholders in the kitchen too.

Here's the living room decorations

I'm going to do the outside too. It will not be elaborate like we used too with

all sorts of Halloween booby traps, no graveyard, nothing like that. But I'll

put some mums out and some pumpkins, and decorate the porch with straw

bails and somethings. Maybe tommorrow if it doesn't rain.

Here is a poster size HUGE picture of My Archangel that the school ordered for us as another

gift from them to us. We just got it back from being framed and it's right in the

middle of the living room wall.

[SIZE=14pt]Marty they are beautiful! Did you make the wishing well? Your eye for color and crafts is really a gift. I love to decorate to and you have put me to shame.... all I have for fall right now is a wreath on my front door and a tera cotta pumpkin on the step....looks like a trip to garden ridge is in order. Michael is happy that you are back to decorating![/SIZE]

:aktion033: Marty, everything looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so proud of you, and the smiles you received from Dan & Jerry should prove that it was a wonderful Idea!!! Michael would be proud of you!!!!

I know it is hard to do when you are dealing with such loss, but I am sure you see that it is the right thing to do to continue on and stick with tradition, if not only for yourself, for Dan and Jerry.

Karla, we have an eat in kitchen that is small, no dining room so that's it and I did it with washable wall paper, it's a chair rail. The bottom is dark green, and the top co-ordinates in plaid shades of beige tones and then runs a line of the same dark green in it.

Lyn the wishing well is mountain made by crafters up here which do this for a living. There are great crafters up here. I left it natural and just added a stain. I also have the big daddy model in my backyard, it's 6' tall, and they also made my picnic table for us too.

Michael is surrounded by his favorite things that he loved so much. He bought some of them too. He was always buying me things like that. They are all displayed now.

All your decorations look so beautiful, Marty. I'm glad you made the effort to put them out, and it seems like Jerry and Dan are happy, too.

Even though Halloween is about all the ghosts and goblins and such, I've always hated those ugly images of death that are supposed to be "fun". I sure do like the candy, though!
