I do a lot of projects that do not turn out how I had hoped. In fact I have done two this fall that were so awful I only had them out in sight for about 24 hours before tossing them.
So, I thought I would show you all a fun little project Lillie and I did last week. I was trying to find an easy fall project we could do and found this idea on the Family Fun website. First we went out and collected a whole bunch of leaves, then just got some paper, glue, and a marker and got to work.
Just a super-quick post to let you all know that along with our giveaway going on in the post below (there are still a few more hours left to enter), the talented and inspiring Jen, at Tatertots and Jello is hosting a giveaway for us right now as well!
If you’ve read any of my previous posts here on the Dear Lillie blog,
then you’re probably expecting another couple of paragraphs filled with greatly
exaggerated anecdotes about my newfound home décor capabilities scrambled together
with harsh accusations about my sister’s uninspiring work ethic. Even though
the title of this post may suggest something of a similar mold, I have decided
to take the high road this time around—and by that I mean that I won’t be mentioning
Jenni’s recent affinity for afternoon naps or any of her weekend trips to the
Kingsmill Spa (okay, it was one trip… and it was an eight-month overdue
birthday present, but still).
Yesterday Lola and I made one of Jon’s favorite autumn desserts. I can’t remember the last time I baked something without my helper, Lillie, but she and Jon were on a little “date” at Inflation Nation, so Lola was my helper this time. I wasn’t patient enough and the cake was still hot when I put the glass dome on so it was quite foggy looking.
