Sites to See for September 28

I am still wrapping up some personal priorities as you may have been able to tell since there were only two articles this week. Hopefully I will not need to stay in free-flow for too much longer. I may not be able to get back to posting five days a week just yet, but in the next month I should be able to manage a more consistent schedule.  Thank you for still hanging in there with me and reading Laurel Plum Online. I appreciate each and every one of you!

Look and Enjoy!

New (to me) Sites:

Just a Girl – I adore all of the fall crafty/decor ideas. Lots of pictures and short and charming caption-like writing.  If you haven’t put a few touches of the season around your home yet, you may get inspiration from a few of her ideas. I’ve already found several I will definitely try out next year.  She’s a very clever girl!

I’ll be changing the wreath and the planter beside the door & pulling a few switches from the Maple tree to put on the mantle.  Oh, and red and yellow apples on the counter basket instead of the green granny Smith’s we prefer with some fall leaves tucked in.  A few other very simple and inexpensive little things.  In a few weeks I’ll get a little nuts and go all out for Halloween.  What will you be doing?

Found Challenges:

It is time for another month to begin which means the girls at Happy To Be At Home will be changing the focus of their End 08 Great Challenge.  July was about clutter.  August concentrated on spending more face time with our kids.  September challenged us to fix our finances.  I wonder what October will bring?  Make sure to check in over the next few days to find out.

I came across each of these websites and stories either from Stumble Upon, RSS subscriptions, search engines or from others on Plurk! I am passing them on to you as I found them – in good faith. I can not guarantee the validity or accuracy in any manner. I enjoyed reading them and I hope you will, too.
