My First Post!

I have always thought about starting a blog but didn't think I had that much to post about.  I love visiting other blogs to gather ideas for cooking, crafts and home decor ideas.  I finally decided that's exactly what I would blog about.  I just got married in June and we have started several projects around the house to make it "ours."  I also love to scrapbook and make jewelry, so I will probably have a wide array of post topics!

I thought for the first post, I would show you our fall decor outside the house.  

 
A close-up of my mums...I thought I was buying orange and white in honor of my Texas Longhorns.  Surprise...if I read the label I would have discovered that they were purple.  



I found a similar black post idea on Pinterest and showed it to my dad.  He took that idea and built his own version.  I absolutely love it and plan to change out the sign for each season and holiday.  I found the metal wreath at Michael's.  The wreath is the first one I ever made for the house last year.   




So, that's the fall decorations outside of Butler Castle!  Pictures from our first major projects inside to follow soon :-)
