Decorating!!!

I really like how houses look with decorations on them. It just makes them seem so much more like a home instead of a house. So, as much as I usually don't like putting them up, my wish to see the dorm decorated my laziness. This weekend I spent the time to decorate. Some of it was easy. When I went home last weekend, we went to Joannes so that my Mom and Libby could look for fabric. While we were there, I looked at their fall decorations. Because Halloween is over, all of their decorations were like 50-70% off. So I got some flower arrangements, and a turkey for around $7.00, and then later found a table cloth at the dollar store. That was for the table.









Then all I had to do was figure out a way to decorate the walls. Since I don't think we're allowed to use push pins, I had to think of something that I could use tape to put up. So I photocopied a bunch of my Mom's fall shapes, and cut them out to make patterns out of them. Then I cut out all of those shapes, and taped them to the walls. We have big walls, and the shapes were kinda small, so it took about 200 of them to get the walls looking decent. And man, it took forever to cut them out!!! But the results are nice, and I won't have to do it again, as I can just take the tape off the backs of these and re-use them. I also ame a little door sign so that at least a little bit of the rest of the dorm looked decorated and not just the living room. :) Here's the finished product!!!
