Fall Flower Fun!

I'm so proud of myself...I finished my Fall flower project for outside, and I wanted to share it with you! So here it is, my friends.

I got these lovely planters on sale at Buchheit for $9.99 a piece. I love Buchheit. I discovered that when we were remodeling our house. They don't have a huge selection of certain things, but their prices are unbeatable on most items. So, I started with my planters and filled them with sand since I was using fake flowers.

I searched for flowers at two Wal-Marts and some other places, and they just weren't gonna cut it. I like the deep Fall colors, and they all had the really bright yellows and oranges...not my style. So, I knew that meant

a special trip to Garden Ridge...oh darn. I also love Garden Ridge. I'm proud of myself because I only came out with what I needed. I think it helped that I had Jay with me...it made me hurry along a bit! So, here is what I picked out for my arrangements...

I just started shoving these puppies into my sand filled planters and did some careful arranging, and this is what I came up with...

I'm in love. I love doing crafty things, and I haven't had the chance to in a really long time. I know they are gonna get faded and trashed being outside, but for now they look lovely! Oh, and I am finally the proud owner of a garden flag that I just stuck right down in one of my pots. I've wanted one so bad, but we have zero front yard, so I knew I had to make it work somehow, and I did!! Woo hoo! Here is my finished project...next to the clean as a whistle siding that my darling husband just washed for me!

Now, I just need to freshen up that door frame with a little white paint, and I'll be golden...for now anyway! :) I also can't wait to get some pumpkins to make things even better! Hope you all have a great weekend!
