Speaking right to my soul, and making me LOL at the same time!! I love this, all of this! πŸ™Œ A few years ago as I was hanging plastic garland around my mantle I suddenly became thoroughly grossed out imagining all the toxic fumes releasing from the garland in addition to how utterly unrealistic it looked and decided right then in there that I would never again buy something plastic that I can easily get from nature and compost when I’m done. I love collecting leaf branches and whatnot to use in vases as a seasonal decor and the best partβ€” I don’t have to store it when I’m done! πŸ™ŒπŸ‚ I also love living in a home full of children who can make decorations for me too. πŸ˜ƒ

Agreed--that stuff is toxic crap! And you live in Vermont? You have to have the best natural branches. Jealous.

It's an evolution to change our habits.

My sister-in-law decorates with pictures of her (now 26) son in his Halloween costumes over the years. I think that' a great idea--nostalgia and family.

I’m saving this tip, I love that so much!!! We do family costumes each year (always DIY, always last minute πŸ˜‚) so that would be fun!!
