A tidy or organizing project to help run your household.
Well Fall is almost on us with these nice cool breezes we are having here in NJ. Normally I decorate for the Fall/Autumn September 1st, but I decided to do it a week early and take my time to get everything out and put away and not stress out over it. God loves a warm and inviting and clean home, so does my hubby and friends!
Decorating your home in seasonal theme and not so much by holiday is a great way to keep your items out longer and cost you less money in the long run. You can always add a few pieces that you switch out like Halloween to Thanksgiving for the holidays. This way it saves you lots of time and space.For example...I have wreaths that I change from Summer to Fall to Winter.
I have pumpkins, gourds, scarecrows, apples, leaves and items such as that. Then I add a few spiders or jack-o-lanterns for Halloween and turkeys and pilgrims for Thanksgiving.
I make a lot of my decorations and I try to only add one item a year to my seasonal decoration usually from a thrift store or a garage sale or clearance. This is respecting my husbands hard work in making money and providing for us.
Thrift stores as inexpensive as they can be will reduce the holiday items even lower closer to the holiday date or after. Last year I stocked up on snow people themed items for the house. Be patient and God will provide for your needs. You would be surprised also how many friends are willing to declutter and pass along a holiday items that don't go with their home but it matches yours.
