Worked like a charm!

Pumpkin carving – Be creative and carve more than just a few.. 26.Create a thanksgiving center piece – Another great creative outlet for kids and adults alike.. 27.. Zombie walk.

– Find out if local organizers have brought this event to a city near you.. 28.Grow a movember moustache – Great fun for a good cause.Not a bad look either,.

can’t argue with this.Oktoberfest – We’re all a little Irish on March 17th, so let’s find you inner German this October.. 30.

Get the family together – Don’t wait for Thanksgiving or Christmas to get the family together.

Invite them over for no reason at all.. 30 + 1.. Take a trip to a winery or micro-brewer.The living room just beyond has the Christmas tree and all the bright, happy, family-friendly decor in it, so I decided to indulge myself in this hall and keep things more subdued in shades of white, bronze, and green.. Just one little bronze Christmas ball ornament is all it takes to reinforce the theme here..

I found these sparkly little balls tied together in a garland leftover from last year so I just plunked them down in a cozy little nest of cedar in this footed bowl.. Glitter and twine – it’s works!Who would’ve known?

This just further proves that twine goes with everything.. And that’s the hall this year!I bet you didn’t even notice how half-finished this room is.
