Three Things : Three Giveaways

FALL IS A CELEBRATION OF COLORS!!!!! we get super excited when the leaves start to change. A trip to the pumpkin patch is a MUST...with LOTS of pictures....I switch to hot lattes instead of iced....Pumpkin carving, Halloween lots of candles and starting up the fire place. YES, Fall is the BEST.

I celebrate with pumpkins. Taking the kids to the pumpkin patch, baking pumpkin bread, and decorating the house with pumpkins. This is my favorite season. Thanks for the chance to win.

Love going to a pumpking patch. At the age of 53 finally got to go to two different patchs that you picked your own pumpkins, which I have never picked my own before. I love getting dressed up for Halloween. This year got the Doctors office we are all getting dressed for Hallween. I miss the fall leaves.

We celebrate by taking family photos on vacation and also going to the Fall Festival at our church - a huge event that's fun for all.

Fall is my favorite time of the year, and we just moved from the midwest to San Antonio this summer, so I'm really going to have to get creative in celebrating this year since we're wearing shorts and swimming. We have taken our kids to the pumpkin patch every year since they were born in 1999. And, we found a great patch here a couple of weekends ago. We are getting ready to make a new tradition by participating in our neighborhood's annual Halloween parade this weekend.

We decorate like crazy for Halloween as it's one of our favorite holidays. We also have an annual Halloween party to celebrate the season and so I have great pics to scrap. Costumes are manditory!

Fall is my favorite season of the year! I live in Ohio and the leave are absolutely beautiful. We celebrate fall by going to Leeds Farm pumpkin patch in Delaware county. There is so much for kids to do there, then we all pick out a pumpkin. We also have an annual Halloween Bash at our house which includes 50 of our closest friends and family. It is a magical time of year!

Last week we went to the county stock show & fair (it was our first date in high school); cutting wood for the fire place; walks crunching leaves & pinecones. The end of 100plus degree heat means enjoying the outdoors more. Thanks for the giveaways and all the inspiration!

Hi Ali,
We celebrate the fall season by closing up our cottage. Everything gets put away and the crisp view of fall is amazing!
Thanks,
Wendy

For my family it is apple picking, cider and pumpkin picking. Decorating the house in scarecrows and pumpkins.Oh and butternut scented candles. We love to drive around and see all the beautiful colors of the leaves and my personal favorite, MUMS! They come in so many different colors and just oh so pretty! Love Fall!

fall always mean re-organization for me. summer was a whirlwind, things got left in disarray, the fall chill brings me back indoors to set up a once-again enjoyable home to be hunkered down in.
now is that a type a tradition, or what?

a trip to the pumpkin patch and to the mountains to see the aspens changing (and lots of accompanying pictures); costumes; and sometimes a trip for fall break (one this year - hooray!)

I can't say that we do something "special" each year. However, the fall brings me finding unique hot chocolates (my kids adore hot chocolate). We spend nights together trying out new varieties. I also love going to starbucks for pumpkin scones and pumpking lattes!!!!!

My girls and I already put out our scarecrow, light up pumpkin, some big scary guys in the window and a skeleton. that's about it outside, i don't like it to look too tackY!
inside we just do a tablecloth and some hand towels and some big bowls that we put things like fruit etc. in them that are halloween themed bowls. nothing too exciting. and we always try to go take fall pictures somewhere!!

For us, Fall is all about pumpkin picking, bringing out the cozy scarves and mittens, and the long-awaited annual fall festivals.

We love pumpkins. Last year we painted pumpkins. This year I think we will color jack-o-lantern postcards to send Halloween wishes to our friends.

Apple picking at the orchard, pumpkin spice muffins and a return to soup.

We switch out our summer gear for sweaters -it's a pretty big production here in hand-me-down town. And then we bake lots of stuff. Pumpkin muffins and Apple crisps. My neighbors also get out their fire pits and we have a little smore roast with hot chocolate. Autumn is my favorite - I hope heaven is just like it.

picking out Halloween costumes, decorating for Halloween. Raking leaves and jumping in the piles. Carving pumpkins.

a trip to the pumpkin paych!

I actually JUST got married (one month yesterday) and we have our first house and everything, so we decided to start a tradition of starting fall with a bonfire and inviting friends/family over for fun and just to enjoy each other. Fall is like the bookmark for hot chocolate, cooking marshmellows over the fire, and cuddling up with the one you love. So, that is what we'll be doing in just a couple of weeks and on throughout our lives to come!

Since 1999 when I was ph with my oldest the family goes to the pumpkin patch and corn maze together :) Ben just turned 9 and we are still doing it...grandma and grandpa and aunts and uncles...of course now its all cousins - we have a great time!

Fall means football, warm sweaters, hot cocoa and preparing for the holidays. I love the cooloer weather when the temp dips down to the 60s!

Ooh, I forgot. Pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin cream cheese.

Fall is our favorite time of year. It means our last camping trip until the spring, birthday celebrations for our daughter, a trip to the pumpking patch with our church family, LOTS of baking, making crafts, making Christmas wish lists, our favorite parade on tv and a wonderful day of family, friends and food. We love fall!!
