Three Things : Three Giveaways

I love the fall! We celebrate it with yummy candles burning, pumpkin spice anything, a trip to the pumpkin patch, warm blankets, turning on the fireplace, crisp mornings, baking, a girls weekend, and lots of family birthdays. It's a great time of year. I love all the traditions that go along with it.

as soon as it feels fall like here (we live in vegas so the first cold weekend is under 80 degrees) I make pumpkin bars or bread or muffins and than we get apple cider and we start getting ready for halloween! We love the fall and the cooler weather!

We welcome fall in our family with an apple picking trip. Then later some pumkins. Its fun to get everyone outside and together. Creates wonderful memories!

I had my two year old granddaughter this past weekend. We celebrated by going to an apple festival, carving a pumpkin, making pumpkin muffins and pumpkin choc chip cookies. They we decorated the front porch for halloween. I thought I was in heaven.

Fall means:
Pumpkin Spice Lattes, warm sweatshirts and puffy vests, numerous apple and pumpkin recipes to try, my birthday!!! enjoying the colorful leaves on the trees, football games, cozy fires, and canning salsa!!!

We got to the Botanical Gardens to see the Scarecrow Parade. Then we have our favorite farmer's stand that we buy our pumpkins from. They have a great variety from white, multicolored and bumpy. This year will be different because my husband won't be with us this Halloween. He's out of town for three weeks. It's just me and dd.

Bringing out the plush & soft blankets for cuddling on the couch for those cold nights, hot chocolate with marshmallows, reading a good book, blowing out the sprinklers (had to do this last weekend), planning the Thanksgiving dinner (I'm hosting it this year), dragging out my Christmas crafts and discovering things that I bought last year on clearance that I forgot I had :-)

I just finished making 21 pints of home made applesauce! It sure makes the house smell yummy. :)

-warm days / cool nights
-the lugging of a warm baby over vines and past those huge silly orbs
-big brother finding TOO big pumpkins to carry
-leaves falling like its the end of the world
-watching as children tentatively play at being scared in our prepared safety
-a family cocoon starts to spin

Hey! Thanks for the reminder! I celebrate fall by pulling out this bunch of red orange brown and yellow dyed wheat and setting on my dining room table... I'll be going down into the basement to get those today!

Fall is my favorite season, mostly because of the perfect weather-not to hot and not to cold. I love to take my kids to the pumpkin patch and take pictures of them witha ll the fall colors.

We always celebrate the fall season with a trip up the canyons to see the beautiful colors of the leaves changing. Living in Utah, Autumn is gorgeous!

Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons ... pulling out the sweaters, making up hot drinks to sip while snuggled under heavy blankets, marveling at the changing of the leaves, taking fun outdoor pictures, and getting mentally prepared for the soon winter season!

Curled up under a blanket, scrapping away, with a yummy mug of hot chocolate and Grey's Anatomy on the T.V. What could be better?

Fall is one of my favorite seasons! It means cooler weather, pumpkin patch, Halloween, apple cider, and soon sitting by the fireplace! I love Stacy's Cocoa Diasy Kit!

Since we live in Las Vegas and we have no "fall", we drive up to Cedar City, UT to watch the fall leaves there!

getting and carving pumpkins, enjoying the changing trees and all the colors that go along with it, trick-or-treating with the children and their friends, and cuddling up with a warm blanket all nice and cozy.

We do a few local activites, like a Witch display at Gardner Village( a cute village like shopping center) They have all these stuffed witches and crafts and activites for little kids. And we also go to Thanksgiving Point, which has a corn maze, jumping pillow, scary creature, etc. Doing these things yearly always seems like fall to me. Oh and also helping my grandma rake leaves, then jumping in. Thanks Ali! Jscrapfreak@hotmail.com Jenn in Utah

Well we do not have Fall Season where I live now but I remember as a kid, (when we still lived in the U.S.) we usually celebrate Halloween & Thanksgiving. Halloween was one of my favorite occasions back then. Right now, we still celebrate Thanksgiving even if we're not in the US anymore. It's an occasion to spend time with our family & give thanks for all the wonderful blessings we have received over the years.

fall is my FAVORITE time of year!!! it means more family get togethers (most of our birthdays are between sept-dec) yummy food, i also love the hot-chocholatey kind of weather, where the tip of your nose gets cold, and you can snuggle up with the one you love... also, it's time for me to BUST out with my lovely scarf colletion... (hee hee) and the colors of fall are truly my favorite... browns, reds, burgundys.. *sigh*
