  3. Love your project! You always have such great ideas – must be why you are one of my daily stops 🙂 I love fall for many reasons – my birthday is in October – but I love hay rides and pumpkin carving. It’s so much fun to get out of the house without the heat or needing to bundle up. Enjoy your football and thanks for the chance to win!

  4. Hey, Joy! Thanks for yet another great idea! I love so much about fall – but the cooler weather/less humidity is at the top of my list, along with the fall colors – love the oranges/yellows/browns, etc.!

  7. Another great Joy video, I love how you take a ‘mishap’ and make them into a teaching moment! Your hurricane lamps are a must do and I guess I have been living under a rock as this is the first time I have seen this done. I love the sunshine coolness of coming fall and all the trees changing their color, I grew up in eastern Canada and remember every fall as breathtaking. Thanks for always sharing yourself. Have a great wkend.

  8. Hey Joy, what a great idea & love that it is inexpensive. They would be beautiful on a banquet table for Thanksgiving or even Christmas. So many possibilities. Thanks for such a wonderful idea. What I love about fall is the sounds & the smells. I love the crispness in the air and the crunch of the leaves under your feet. Going to the local pumkin patches & corn mazes. Just a beautiful season. Anyway, I wanted to say thanks too for the chance to win. I look forward to visiting your blog often to see what else you have made. Thanks again.

  12. You truely are super! What a wonderful idea and with 2 little kids that have a hard time keeping thier hands off my “pretties” I will be making them. -I have learned so much from your blog. My favorite part of fall is the colors.

  14. Great ideas Joy…thanks for sharing and being part of the hop. The candy looks good too…hope I get lucky.

  19. I LOVE everything about Fall!!! The cool weather, the colors, the smells, the crunch of leaves beneath your feet, bonfires, hot chocolate. It’s all soooo wonderful!!

  20. I love the trees when they start changing colors in the fall. I love your hurricane lamps. I have also made a cake stand using a candle stick or egg cup and then gluing a plate on top of that. Thanks for sharing all your good ideas.

  21. wonderful Idea for the hurricane, I have been told about this and that the best place to get things to go together is at 2nd hand stores. Can’t imagine it being less expensive than yours though. Now that I know what type of glue to use, you can bet I will try this out. Thanks for Sharing & I hope you enjoy the wonderful beautiful colors of Autum!! ~ Suz

  22. Fall favorites are sipping cider,piles of leaves, trick or treaters,picking apples and the new tv shows! LOL Thank-You for the great ideas and participating in the blog hop! 1st time hopper here, sooo much fun! [email protected]

  23. Thanks for that great project! My favorite thing about fall is decorating my house. I do a mainly “autumn theme” so I can leave it up through Thanksgiving . . . and add a few Halloween decorations in October and switch out for a few Thanksgiving items in November, but the basics stay for those couple of months! Thanks for the giveaway!!

  25. Fall means to me that Gods earth is getting ready to fall asleep for the winter wonderland that lies ahead.
    With plan’s already in the making for spring. Which will bring sweet smelling flower’s and renewel to all Gods creation’s, great and small. Where we look forward to bask in the warm summer sun that we all know that will follow soon.

  29. great project Joy. I’m on my to the local dollar store to pick up the pieces. Did you have a particular place you got the glue?

    1. Sue, I think I found that glue at WalMart. I bought it last year for another project so I can’t quite remember. Most craft stores have it, even if it’s in a set with other glues. 😉
      Thank you and I hope you have fun making them! 😀

  30. Hi Joy,
    It’s Nicole from the Blog Hop! I really love this idea and I love saving money!! I think I’ll make a couple of these for my fireplace mantel. I’m getting ready to watch some Oregon football… Go Ducks! Have a great day!!

    1. PrimpedinPaper,
      Hi Nicole!! I loved your tea light idea. It was AWESOME!! I hope you have a great and crafty weekend!

  33. Well now my husband is going to kill me if I hit the dollar store again. LOL, I love this idea and would of never thought of it. I guess that is why I love your blog. I think when I do this I am going to emboss them or try to.

  36. Fall is my favorite season: crispness of air, apples, cinnamon, colors, blue skies and orange pumpkins, etc. This is my first visit to your blog. I enjoyed your project and just have to have several of those type candle holders. Will pick up the containers next time at the $ store and try this. Would love to win your kandy.

  37. You have such neat ideas! Funny, I just watched your video this morning on You Tube and now here you are!

  38. What a lovely but cheap idea, they look beautiful filled even with just the couple of pieces you added. For me Fall as you call it is all about snuggling up by the fire with my hubby or the fireworks and jacket potatoes baked on the open fire on November 5th.
