Motivated Monday October 3 - Flaunt Your Fall Flair

Welcome to the Flaunt Your Fall Flair Motivated Monday Linky Party.

Before we get started, though, I wanted to share with you these fun features from last week just in case you missed them.

From the oh-so-informative post from Carol Anne over at

Use the Good Dishes

that gives us the total 411 in this two part series of everything you never knew but should know about sheets. Whether you are just new to this whole setting up house thing or you have been doing it for decades, I guarantee you will learn something new here.

Want to learn how to make your own personalized ribbon for gifts?

Be sure and check out Carrie's post at

Project Possessed

 

 

If you have a printer the options are limitless.

 

There were several submissions featuring window treatments.

Sandi, over at 

Making It Homey

showed us her bedroom update with some embedded links to some of her other up dos in this space.

I love that she brought in a bit of color here.

Ashley from

Domestic Imperfection

also did a drapery update and you know I am a sucker for chevron.

How great is this look?

 

Switching it up a bit, I was amazed by all the thought and colorful creativity that went into this absolutely darling birthday party for a gorgeous little guy named Luke. Looking for colorful and fresh party and party decor ideas? Be sure and stop by to see all the fun with Christa at

Life With Luke

Then the post that just wowed me from the get go  was this great costume creation

idea with a detailed and easy to follow tutorial submitted by

Twin Dragonfly Designs

Seriously? This just made me laugh out loud.

If you own a smart phone or ipad you know all about

Angry Birds.

My husband plays this game like it is his job.

:)

This creative mom didn't stop here though.

Oh no, look at the whole line up.

This just cracked me up.

I remember how I would lay awake at night thinking up Halloween costumes for our kids. I thought it was so much cooler to make them than cop out and buy something from WalMart or Target. I would pat myself on the back and tell myself what a stellar mom I was. Then, it happened, just like it did with the birthday cakes, my kids BEGGED me for a costume from the store and not something I whipped up in my head late at night. So sad. Oh well, it was easier. 

Anyway, loved this. Loved them all.

Thanks to everyone that linked up last week.

This week I thought we would show off our fall flair here at Motivated Monday.
