We live in the deep south, so the most fun thing we did this fall was decorate our home. We love to bring Fall indoors, because we don't have the pretty colors when the seasons change.
The funniest thing i've done this fall has to be when I was driving up to France only to buy an issue of the Quiltmania magazine. Yes, my husband thinks that I am crazy. But he still drove the car :-).
Most fun thing was a big barbecue to celebrate my daughter's 1st birthday! Tons of family and friends, which always means a lot of fun :)
Thanks for the chance!

The most fun thing I did this fall was: sleep in. LOL Fighting off strep throat and then the flu made life rather difficult this fall ... so long lazy mornings in bed, with warm cozy flannel sheets and heavy blankets, with the room nicely chilly - well, that was wonderful. Add in a lot of good books, a big cup of hot tea, and a floofy poofy kitty purring away on top of me, and, well, BLISS! :)

Honestly, Fall past so quickly I can't remember doing anything special. I live on the south shore of Long Island, in New York and we had hurricane Sandy. We had no damage (thank God) but we had no electricity for 5 days my son was home from school and my husband was home from work. We had no computers or video games for 5 DAYS, ooooh my! That's about it, for excitement. ;-> Toni Anne
I finished my thanksgiving quilt that I have been working on for 3 years.
I follow by GFC.
Hi, I'm follower # 185! Yay!
My favorite Fall activity is decorating our outside patio area for Halloween. We live in an apartment complex for the disabled/elderly and when we moved here, no one decorated, even for Christmas, and the neighbors were aghast when we began covering the outside with orange sparkle lights and a jack o'lantern quilt - you get the idea! Now not only are there a number of neighbors decorated for Christmas (!!!), there were also some who decorated for Halloweeen -- and we actually had 5 trick or treaters!
I am a happy new follower of your blog!
