Simple Fall front door decor

Fall is in well-swing over here in Pennsylvania, but I know the fall weather isn't going to last forever. A few weeks ago, while out and about, I came across a good sale on mums towards the end of the season (right before Halloween). I put them in my fall front decor below, and they lasted me a few weeks.

 I got the white chair from a neighbor who was throwing it out- I liked the semi-weathered look to go with the decor. (Please excuse my storm door- I still have to finish painting it (it's been staying unfinished for many months now, as I have been trying to track down the matching paint which we didn't get enough of in the first place- doh!))

I actually really like the simple fall look. (Sorry I forgot to post this sooner!)

I just now decided to plant the mums, so *HOPEFULLY* they come back next year in the beautiful yellow bloom they have here. After having to kick out the neighborhood cats from my flower beds, I replanted them (and trimmed up a tiny bit of our rose bush).

Top photo- The neighborhood cats enjoying my flower beds. grr.
Next photo- the newly planted mums- it was getting dark, so I apologize for the dark photo.

I'm looking forward to winter, but refuse to start in on the Christmas decor till at least the week of Thanksgiving, so I just have pumpkins galore outside and in the house. lol

Pinspiration Monday: Hopeful Inspiration to get Crafty

Welcome to another Pinspiration Monday!

Sorry I haven't had many posts to share recently- my full-time job has been a little crazy right now. My full-time schedule is all over the place these days, making my brain all mush, all the time. I am working night shift (5:30pm-1:30pm) on Mondays, mid-day shift Tuesdays & Wednesdays (11-7pm or 12-8pm, depending on what they need me to do), slightly earlier shift (10:30-6:30pm) on Thursdays and slightly later shift (3-11pm) on Fridays. Also having to cover some Saturday shifts (every other weekend) for co-workers on vacation, meaning I have to take a different day off- like some random Tuesday or Wednesday off. *tear* (All of this because one person left our department- ugh).
That being said, my time with my hubs is also all over the place, so I've been spending more time at home alone- just me and the cat, Wendy. I've also be swamped with freelance graphic design work, so once I'm done with work and working on those freelance projects, I don't feel like doing much of anything. ;( That means, a lot of watching Hulu/Netflix and Pinterest surfing, because I'm creatively pooped out. I don't know what it is about working shifts all over the place, but my creativity has just gone out the window as far as craft projects. I still like photography and trying to learn to use my DSLR, but doing scrapbook pages, cards, home decor project, etc.- I sit down to do it, and I just have a mind blank. Any of you have that happen to you?

Anyways, sorry for the mini rant. Hopefully all the Pinterest surfing will spark some creativity in me today- Labor Day. I have to work night shift again tonight (I know- working on Labor Day!?) but in the few hours beforehand, I hope to create SOMETHING. I hope this will spark something creative in me, and maybe yourself too!

You can re-pin all of the above and follow my Pinspirations board here. If you haven't followed me on Pinterest, I'd love you to (just be forewarned- I pin A LOT!) hehe.

Have a great holiday everyone! And for those who have to work during the holiday, like me, have a great all-around day!
