I need to pick your brains girls...

I know 

I know...please don't choke on your coffee

We haven't even gotten through Halloween and here I am talking about the "C" word.

For shame

For shame

Now I am acting like the stores and jumping ahead before we even get through one holiday... Please forgive this inept craft/decorator wanna be.

But..when I saw all the wonderful ways you gals decorated for Fall / Halloween and the creativity...I swooned and now I am thinking that I just might like to decorate more for Halloween / Fall next year.

I know this is waaaaay too early to chat about Christmas but I am the ultimate procrastinator and what ideas you can throw my way will take me until Nov. sometime to even think about putting the ideas to life; so I will need all this time before then to decide on all the ideas I get from you ladies ( that means LOTS of ideas and please pass this on to the other blogs you read so I can pick their brains and get all the help possible, thanks). Then it will take me several days and numerous cups of java to wrap my head around ALL those creative ideas you gals will share with me and for me to get my hiney in motion, in the car, to the store, to purchase craft supplies I will need.

I started collecting pine cones last year and thought with some things I picked up in Seattle last Dec. that I would go with a "nature" "woodland" type theme. 

With that being said ladies, I need ideas for a tree, mantel, wreath, centerpiece on dining table and coffee table plus some little things to place here and there.

If you go back to my posts: http://geergathering.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

and check out the dates of Aug. 7, 8 and 12th and you will have an idea of what the inside of my home looks like to give you that inspiration that I so desperately need from you.

Many many thanks ahead of time because I know you gals are really great about sharing your thoughts and ideas and I look forward to getting MANY comments or you can email me (check out my profile for address).
