Thank you so much for including my Autumn Harvest Mantel in your features this week Beth!! Apples always symbolize the beginning of fall for me – maybe it is the whole back to school thing;)
Loved your mantel Krista :)!
Beth, I just wanted to let you know that I enjoy looking through all the awesome ideas but I’m not fond of the new format. Now I have to wait for my computer to load every single item and it takes me 12 times as long to see everything! I wish you would consider going back to the old way where I only had to scroll down to see everything.
Thanks,
Terri
Thanks for the feedback. I’m looking into ways to have them load immediately.
Beth- thanks so much for featuring my post on how we created more functional space in our home! I hope it was inspiring to others- just like SOO many of these have inspired me!
Beth,
Thank you so much for featuring my Give Thanks wreath and for hosting a party with so much inspiration!!!
