festive front porch!

i like to make things look pretty :) 

i like fixin' hair, 

i like putting outfits together, 

i like to artfully arrange my food, 

and i looovvee to decorate!

my sweet momma told me to do a seasonal project for my front porch. 

since it's fall ( the BEST season ) ... 

i dressed up my front porch with some festive decor.

for starters, i made my own wreath with 

supplies from hobby lobby.

i bought a $10 lantern from marshall's & filled it with some 

small pumpkins from ross & a few pine cones.

THEN i bought a $3 basket from hobby lobby, 

turned it upside down, 

and it was the perfect little stand for my 

lantern & some gourds :)

i just love to look at my front porch when i'm 

pulling in & out of my driveway.

so thankful to my God for 

this beautiful season.

a few fall outfits

time has just flown by. 

i can't believe i haven't posted since my birthday! 

since then ... i have gone on vacation, had tons of photography shoots, sold a house, and had a lovely visit from a good friend.
