If the kids can't reach the shelves, put assorted-sized small candles all in the same color palette on a few of those shelves. THey're always on clearance. Or count on nature for FREE decor: pinecones, pumpkins, gourds, leaves in little glass bowls from your cupboard.jeanne @ Inspiring Ideashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05019030802662324836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23350820.post-18064841265792168612008-09-09T13:18:00.000-04:002008-09-09T13:18:00.000-04:00ok, i totally just saw the family tree idea on diy...ok, i totally just saw the family tree idea on diy's show creative juice so if i am totally crazy i'm at least not the only one! ;) by the way, the "ugly twig" is now gone since dh was less that thrilled with it! =) oh well! i'll keep trying! he's really pleased with the other things i've done!<BR/>http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/cr_photo_projects/article/0,2025,DIY_13772_5221133,00.htmlTote, Debby, Sammy and Caleb Jimenezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03659653814783825561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23350820.post-72371938245033029522008-09-08T18:44:00.000-04:002008-09-08T18:44:00.000-04:00Hi Debbie, your ideas look great.

I would take the kids out to the fields and we would pick wild flowers and hang them to dry and spray with hairspray (the cheapest I could find) and place them in coffee cans, or cups, or whatever I could find. I also like the weeds, some of STHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06602513108630586273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23350820.post-11564954932701052772008-09-07T01:27:00.000-04:002008-09-07T01:27:00.000-04:00I think you have some wonderful ideas!

You could even spray paint them, too! Your hurricane on your table is so pretty. Try a table runner or piece of fabric folded to look like a table runner to "lengthen" the table, and place pinecones, acorns, mini pumpkins, leaves down the length of it with the hurricane inStacey @ The Blessed Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13033930461129202765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23350820.post-91309806371463864092008-09-04T17:26:00.000-04:002008-09-04T17:26:00.000-04:00How about some sticks on those white shelves? ha...How about some sticks on those white shelves? haha. Personally, I'm not crazy about the sticks, but it is kinda interesting and worth leaving up for a little while. I'd definetly put some family photos up on those shelves, maybe a stack of books, some of those little pumpkin gourds on the little tiny spaces. That's what comes to mind...Amy Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084271044740867356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23350820.post-78198584981235794842008-09-04T17:21:00.000-04:002008-09-04T17:21:00.000-04:00Dear Debby, I'm a Debbie too.

I appreciate that you are missionaries for the God that we serve, and I appreciate that you are raising your boys to always be thirsty for more of him. We have raised our kids to be thirsty too and to never, never, ever walk away from God's calling. <BR/>I have a few inexpensive ideas for you for fall.
