Yes... it is Friday and time to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year. One reason ( of about 10,000) I really love fall is it is the kick-off of the Holiday Season. Football, Halloween, Thanksgiving and then Christmas & New Years... all start with fall. Today I put up all my Halloween and Autumn "seasonals" and I was quite happy the way they turned out! Since this is my blog I am going to include photos... like it or laugh- whatever! I did my porch, front door, entryway, and half of my entertainment center in autumn and then the other half of my entertainment center, mantle and end-table in Halloween decor. Last year was the first time I decorated for Halloween, but I can tell it is becoming a favorite! ( I changed the photos from a mosaic... hope you can see them better)
What would Fall be without the yummy food associated with this glorious season? As a part 2 of my weekly Fall post... I am going to share a favorite fall recipe or food idea. This is the absolute BEST time of the year to entertain. SO MANY fun ideas and tasty treats!#1 tip- Costco is now selling their pumpkin pies... Meg eats a piece every morning for breakfast!
Recipe: Pumpkin Cream Cheese Spread
1 block of cream cheese
1/2 to 1 cup of pumpkin ( depends on how orange you want it)
sugar ( to taste)
pumpkin pie spices
* This is so easy because all you do it mix it up and let it chill... you can make it into a cheese ball and serve with ginger snaps... HEAVENLY!

Hey friend! Get rid of the "mosaic" and post the bigger pictures so we can see it better! It looks adorable, but the small pictures and being dark don't show your decor off good! Come on...you can do it! We want to see! Don't be bashful!

It looks stunning(but I agree with Angie-- bust out the big pictures so we can see the details and include the door and enrty way!)
