Love this idea from Martha Stewart and the Glitter Lady. So many projects, so little time...

P.O.O.P.I.E

According to the Nester, that stands for People Opposing to Objectional Pretend plants In the Environment. Say that ten times fast... Go to her site to get the whole story!

Anyway, the point is OBJECTIONAL, not pretend. She is all for fake flowers and such, as she advocates craftyness, not being broke.

So here is my P.O.O.P.I.E project, I am just hoping it is more on the "fake can be great" side than objectional...

Could it be??

Is fall around the corner? This morning we played at the park and my car said it was 82'. What? AND there was a breeze! It is now 1:30 and 88'. I loooove fall. The kids can spend hours digging and running with out the danger or heat exhaustion or dehydration! It's the little things...

Not to mention I get to get out all my fall decor. I have so many new cute ideas thanks to my blog surfing at crafty sites. Here are a few sites with autumnal inspiration:

Cute Fabric Pumpkins here @ Sunshine In My Soul. I wonder if I can skip the sewing and break out the hot glue gun??

Candy Corn Garland @ Susie Harris Designs. Yummy-I mean cute!

Spooky Skull @ Joys of Home This made me laugh, so quirky!

Halloween Garland @ Lemon Annie. I can use up my Halloween scrapbook stuff that I hoard. Check out her Pumpkin Tower too, a great family project!

Boo Pumpkins @ Bless Our Nest. Very clever, digging out my sharpie marker...

Now I just need to find the time to do all this!

Raindrop

I caught this after one of our brief rain showers.

Paging Dr. Winepole

Jackson informed us that he will be a "baby doctor" one day and that he will not be known to us as Dr. Lavender, or even Dr. Jackson. His new moniker will be Dr. Winepole. I think it may actually be spelled Whinepole.

Just love all the little hidden things in NYC...
