Hi! It's Jilly. Thanksgiving is sneaking up on us fast. It will be here before we know it! I love decorating for Halloween, but I also like decorating for Thanksgiving. So, what I do when I decorate for Halloween is use a lot of "fall" looking things, like pumpkins and fall leaves, then sprinkle in a few spooky things, like black cats and skeletons. Thanks for the foot bone models, podiatrist hubby!
After Halloween I take down the spooky stuff and add in a few "Thanksgiving"ish things.
I had a fun "Boo!" banner up, and I really liked how the banner was draped across the window, so I just printed up some letters that spell out "Thanks" and taped them on top of the other letters! Probably ghetto, but I don't care. I like it!
Now you can see the whole "mantle", including my cute little
framed burlap pumpkin. Love that thing! So cute and easy! I scored that awesome "Welcome Fall" sign for a couple of bucks at the craft store when they were clearancing out their Halloween stuff at 80% off. Perfect!
I also replaced the witch silhouette on the piano with a printable I whipped up using an awesome quote from
Elder Bednar's talk at General Conference in October. (What the heck are you talking about, Jilly?! General What?! Well, I'm a
Mormon and every six months we get to hear talks given by our general church leaders, including the prophet, for 4 hours on both Saturday and Sunday. They broadcast the conference to the whole world! It is so uplifting and inspiring! Love it! You can watch it
HERE.)
You can print out a copy of this little sign for your own home. I made the printable black and white so you can easily customize it however you'd like. I just printed mine on orange cardstock. You can make it whatever color you want! Go

I love how cozy the Fall decorations feel. Do you decorate for Thanksgiving? Or do you go straight to Christmas?
