Wow! As usual you have the best giveaways. The fall season is our favorite season around here. We start off by going apple picking and a trail hike early in the morning and return to make a BIG POT
of home made chilly and apple pies with our fresh picked apples..
and while the chili is cooking we decorate the house for Holloween.
While I take pics of the day for future scrapping My all time fav is the cool chill in the air. Love it.

We celebrate by going to Pumpkin Days at Tyler Arboretum and attending our neighborhood pumpkin carving which is this Saturday. It has become a fall tradition.

i celebrate fall by taking extra long walks to take in the crisp air

With a big mug of hot coco with marshmallows and then a trip to the local garden center to buy mums in every color to put on the porch!

I buy pumpkins and gourds at the Farmer's Market, and this year my husband and I went on a long drive to take pictures of the fall foliage.

cozy sweaters, hikes at a local conservation area, apple orchard, Canadian Thanksgiving, fall baking, stews and soups, and lots of photos of the beautiful colours!

You know things are very different than when our kids were little. Now that they are grown it's less about events and more about our life journey.
Fall has always been pumpkin patches and soccer.
Now it's a time of slowing down from the crazy pace and of nesting. Even things like power washing the deck and taking all the summer furniture into storage becomes a celebration of sorts.
Creating warm soup suppers and desserts from stuff in our garden as we bring it all in mean fall to us in so many ways.

Celebrating Fall in Houston means turning the air conditioner off and opening the windows :) I get out all my silk sunflowers and mums and switch them out in my vases around the house. And we have our annual pumpkin hunt...trying to find the biggest pumpkins around for dh & the kids to carve.

I celebrate fall with cozy blankets, caramel apples and chili. Yum!

I had a recent blog post about this and the pictures really say it all:

It's all about the leaves. Nothing but the leaves.
It's definitely my favorite season. Or is it winter? Or spring? Or summer?? Hmm, my favorite is whatever one we are in!!

Hi Ali,
I celebrate the fall season by planning special fall photos of my family! Since I am a photographer I am always busy planning everyone else's photos, and taking them... but since I have four kids, who are growing quickly and leading busier lives, I have to make a point of getting special family photos, with "me" in them!
We also head out to the local pumpkin patch for some corn maze fun!

We celebrate fall starting off with a couple family birthdays. Then we celebrate the season with baking pumpkin bread/muffins/cookies. I just love the smells of fall and baking pumpkin bread just fills the house with that smell. A true sign that fall has arrived at my house :D
As usual...awesome giveaway, Ali! Thank you!

These are awesome.
I am not doing anything particular for fall, except watching as much college football with my hubby that my crafting will allow! But, I am soaking up every moment of fall sunshine I can!

We celebrate fall with smells of the season - pumpkin spice candles in the kitchen/family room area, pumkin/cinamon muffins, Starbucks pumpkin spice lattes, and baking pumpkin seeds from carved pumpkins. Love the smells and flavors of Fall.

We head to Callaway Gardens for their Fall Festival. I love this time of year!

we walk in the woods or take a hike to see the changing leaves, we visit the apple orchard and pick apples and we go to "harvest day" at a local farm for pumpkins and cider. as my 20-somethings would say, "it's all good!"

I like all the prizes. You are so generous to give so much product away. Thanks. I have much scrapbooking to do, I have a 22 month old grandson and 2 month old twin grandaughters. Whew!!! If I win, that will sure help.

We celebrate with a corn maze trek, picking out pumpkins, bonfires, tailgaiting at football games, smores, hot chocolate, hot apple cider sweetened with red hot candies, popcorn and movies, reading good books together and leaf pile jumping....just to name a few. :)

Love Fall! A daily, crisp, cool morning walk, friends for lunch to enjoy hearty bread with Gouda cheese, cobb salad, and mulled cider. Then take in Patriots football game in the evening. Perfect fall day.
Or a crisp 5K road race, followed by an Irish coffee near a fireplace, then a search for a large beautiful pumpkin!

Fall is a favorite season in our home! It begins with birthdays and ends with birthdays; with Fall decorations throughout our home... This year our grown kids have each come by with a new decoration to add to our collection - LOVE FALL!!!

We go for lots of walks in the brisk air and I make a costume for my son. We cut wood, buck it, split it and stack it so that we have it to keep us cozy on those cold cold days of winter. And this year we've added in flag football for our my son.

My kids know it's "fall" when I start closet-cleaning!! Everything must be sorted, tried on, repurposed, salvaged or donated. I LOVE IT! My husband knows it's "fall" when I start cooking soups. All kinds - stews, stoups, chilis, etc. I could live on anything that comes from a crock-pot. I know it's "fall" when it's cool enough here in AZ to light candles during the day. Love the pumpkin-y/vanilla ones! Ahhhhhhhh
CHEERS!

Living in South Florida the only signs I experience are slightly cooler temperatures and several churches have pumpkin patches.
