Holiday

[beach-mom]

Well, I certainly made up for missing the beginning of this!

Valerie's 10 p.m. show has been fun! I bought the harvest wheat teardrops. I also added the Hay and Harvest shatterproof harvest wreath. I thought it was different and will look nice on our front door.

It's interesting how I try to decide on something, then something else comes on and I don't even think twice!

@beach-mom - I bought so much stuff today.  LOL

@JudyL - You will have so much fun putting it around! I will too! I usually wait until after Labor Day - not sure I'll make it this year! LOL!

I can't wait to sit here at night when the house is quiet and look at those pretty pumpkins on our mantel!

Let us know how you put everything around when you get everything!

@JudyL - I hear you! But I really have good luck with batteries. Most of the time I don't have to change them until I'm taking them out at the end of a season. 

DH has a battery check thing, so I usually put them right into something else!

@JudyL just for overall battery use i buy batteries in large quantity from Amazon. I have a battery caddy that i use. That really does help store and inventory. 

After the holiday season i remove all batteries from anything that was seasonal before i store it. I load with fresh batteries when i put out to decorate.

I watched more than I thought I would--but stil not alot and it was a nice change of pace. But I didn't buy anything--I have alot decor for fall that I love ,  so am happy with that. The TSV was nice tho.

I really like those Hay & Harvest wreaths/garlands. I have two front doors so I resisted on the wreath. Although I could probably put one wreath elsewhere inside.

The harvest one was really pretty and elegant looking, but I couldn’t help wanting the Halloween one. Colors really popped! But it wasn’t practical enough to get for $60. I decorate more for harvest with only a few Halloweeny items.

@LizzieInSRQ  - Thanks for the tip re Amazon.  I buy so much from Amazon but have never thought about buying my batteries through them.  I also have one of those battery storage boxes. Will definitely buy batteries from Amazon this year.

I bought two battery cases with a strengh detector in them from QVC two years ago.  So perfect for storing my only partially-used batteries.  I gave them out to family members as Christmas presents, too. 

Unfortunately, I don't see this particular product still listed so it must have sold out.
