Fall Burlap Banner {giveaway!}


My craft room is wreck.  There are remnants of fabric thrown all over the place, loose threads mingling everywhere, & a whole slew of crafting supplies that need to be tucked neatly back into their proper nooks.

But I'm not complaining.  Because that great big mess?  It's a good thing.

It's a good thing because that disaster area of mine is proof of creativity set free.  Ideas once trapped inside my head {& inside the boards of my Pinterest account} have now emerged from my thoughts & transformed into little pretties that have spruced up my home.

And that messy craft room of mine?  Well, I suppose you could say it's a good thing for you, as well.

'Cause it means a GIVEAWAY!


You need a Fall pretty for your home too, right?

My inspiration for this festive little banner came from this pin I happened upon.  I took one look at it, immediately adored the look, & thought to myself, I can do that!   And sure enough, I did.

In fact, I made a few.

One for my mantle.


One for my entry way.

I'm thinking about leaving this one up all year long--just switching up the pretty ribbons for the different seasons.

And of course, one for you!


Want it?

1) Become an "official" follower of my blog {if you aren't already}.  It's easy--just click the JOIN THIS SITE button over there on the right.

Happy Monday, peeps!  Make it a great week.

  7. Living in Florida, I don't get to experience the true seasonal changes in nature...therefore, I try to make the inside of my house as fall festive as possible. I love coming home from work and lighting candles in every room in my house. I can't get enough of the pumpkin spice, or cinnamon stick aroma!! Those smells, along with pretty fall decor make my home and me feel extra cozy.

  15. Hello Holly! My favorite thing about fall is not having to mow the yard! Not really, but it is nice to mark that off my list for a couple months. Of course here in southern GA I still have a few more weeks of mowing... PS: I also love football and Halloween costume parties!
