Fall Straw Hat Girl

I can't tell you how long I have been wanting to make this. I know I have had that straw hat for at least 3 years. I also had all of the other items to create this hat for many years too. I think she turned out super cute. Living in the valley of the sun, Arizona, I don't get the Fall that I remember from my youth in New Jersey so I have to create it. As soon as September hits I start to bring out my Fall decorations so that it at least feels a little like Fall in my house. So I finally got all of the items out that I needed to create my hat and here she is.  I just love her!

I am entering my Fall Straw Hat in the following challenges:

• Craftin Desert Divas - Craft it up and link it up - Anything Goes
• Decorate to Celebrate Challenge #83 - Fall part 1 or Birthday
• DL ART - Thankful Thursday Challenge #140 - Fall

Fall Witches Hat Table Centerpiece

Tonight I bring to you a little Fall Witches Hat Table Centerpiece.  I had this idea for some time now.  I bought 2 paper mache witches hats from Michael's after Halloween last year on clearance and am now getting around to decorating them.

Above is what I think is the front (you might think it is the back).

Here you have one of the side views:

Here is the back (you might think it is the front).

Fall Owl ATC

 

Today I bring you a simple Fall ATC with this adorable owl and tree limb (free) digital stamp from Paper Smooches.

I don't think you can see it in the photo but I used some foam squares on the owl to give the ATC a little dimension.
