October In Review

Oh. My. Goodness. Am I the only one that can’t believe it’s November 1st???

It’s officially time to start decorating for Christmas… I’ve been busy planning for it for weeks… I just can’t believe it’s already here!

Anyways, here’s October in review, just in case you missed anything!

I started off the month with our Chalkboard Sign Pole… I can’t wait to change it up for Christmas!

  1. I am SO glad you do these re-caps. So many times I forget about printing out a post, for inspiration, and then can’t find it. These re-caps give those of us who suffer from Senior Moments, a second chance. 🙂

    Love, love your kitchen!!!
