As I was taking down Thanksgiving decor this week, I remembered I hadn't posted the Halloween stuff. It's fun to look back at how you decorated in years past, so I'll post this for myself for next year.
I'm organizing the 'fall decor' as I put it away this time. I usually have anything fall related just thrown in about six to eight bins.
This time, I'm sorting it into three categories - GENERAL FALL DECOR (stuff I can put out in September and leave up until Thanksgiving) HALLOWEEN ONLY (stuff I would add to the GENERAL FALL DECOR to emphasis the Halloween holiday) and THANKSGIVING ONLY (stuff I would replace the HALLOWEEN ONLY with for the Thanksgiving holiday). Whew....I hope you get my thinking process because I'm not sure I do.
But, I shouldn't have to search through all the bins now to find what I'm after. That's the goal, I guess.
Also, making two separate bins for costume stuff and outside decor (lights, etc.)....it was all jumbled in with everything, too.
My poor house looks so bare right now....I'd better get going on the Christmas stuff.
I've saved a couple decorating ideas from magazines and want to try them out. I'll share when I get done decorating.....like on....Christmas Eve....night!? What in the world did I just say???
I'll be done this weekend. Yes, I will!
