Autumn Centerpiece

I'm trying hard to avoid getting the Christmas stuff out.  Don't get me wrong I love Christmas, but I think I would get tired of having it out after awhile.  I don't have too many things to decorate with for Thanksgiving and actually there isn't much in the stores for Thanksgiving.  They seem to skip it and go straight to Christmas.  I decided put together a centerpiece to put on our dining room table with some items I had on hand.  It's very simple and won't mold, since it's all fake.  I recently added some gourds to the mix and then a few days later saw that they were molding.  Ewww. So, off to the trash they went.

Birthday Party Centerpiece

Usually I'm a little more prepared when it comes to planning a party.  Unfortunately, for my daughter's birthday I wasn't as prepared. I had all these ideas of things I wanted to make, but ran out of time.  I guess this is what happens when you catch a cold and don't get enough sleep because you have a 5 month old that wakes up in the middle of the night. I did manage to throw together some pretty simple centerpieces the night before the party. Ahhh, I just love the cricut.
