Hey all you amazing nesters! I’m so impressed by the fall ideas you all have shared so far! Everything from decorating ideas, organization, home makeovers to baking bread and beyond. It is so inspiring! Nesting is in FULL FORCE in blogland. More ideas are being added so keep checking the links on the Welcome to Fall Nesting Week post!
I was telling some folks that I start summerizing my house in about April. So for six or seven months I am celebrating summer, but then I usually try to cram fall into about four weeks. Not good, since Fall is my favorite season! So, GIVE FALL A FAIR CHANCE! START NESTING NOW!
Even Martha Stewart got into the action for Fall Nesting Week (did you see her link on Mr. Linky?). We Domestic Divas need to support each other!
THE BLISSFULLY DOMESTIC RELAUNCH
Now, yesterday was supposed to the official relaunch of Blissfully Domestic. But as with all things technical, issues occurred. Some of us got a peek, some didn’t. It just wasn’t fair. But, things happen. Did I tell you about my own blog relaunch last week? For 15 hours all you could see was an alligator where my blog used to be! Nice! Then, for awhile all you could see was a page that said, “WHOA, DUDE, SURFING IS DANGEROUS!” You just have to have a sense of humor about these things. But have no fear, next Monday Blissfully Domestic will relaunch for real!
THE GIVEAWAY
While I will be postponing the amazon.com gift certificate giveaway until Blissfully Domestic launches next week, I have a little giveaway for YOU all this week, because I like you. So how about this book to tide us over until next week, eh?
All you have to do is leave me a comment here on this post with your email address, deadline is will be Sunday September 7th at 9pm PST.

LOVE your blog, super cute ideas! I am crazy about ANYTHING having to do with fall, even though here in Texas it is debatable that we even have this season! So I go overboard with nesting! Thanks for sharing
I just love this site!!!

kimberlys last blog post..Another Conversation
there’s nothing wrong with some seasonal cramming!
I would love to be entered- looks like it is full of great ideas!
Wonderful, all the way around! All those plump pretty pumpkins and the magical book cover (and the cool breeze from Hanna) are diminishing my goodbye-summer wistfulness. After all, autumn is SUCH a gorgeous time of year. Thanks for continuing to motivate, inspire, and simply lift our spirits (along with always offering us visual goodies, special treats, and exciting giveaways)!
I just found your site and can’t wait to come back and visit for a while longer.
Please enter me in the drawing. That book looks like a lot of fun.
Have a great weekend!

I love the beauty of your blog – and the colors of autumn make it all the better. You are the last blog I read each time. Something akin to a warm cup of coffee at the end of the day, I save the soothing & comfortable stop here for last.
It’s always a refreshing visit here, full of such fresh ideas for a beautiful home~

I just discovered your blog and it’s great! I love your philosophy on decorating and changing everything with the season. I tend to decorate for me…. I like a pretty home and I feel so much better about my life when my home is clean and pretty!

Okay, I have to admit that I can’t really get into the fall nesting just yet when it’s 90+ degrees here in Texas, but I like all of the ideas and photos that you are sharing!

I have already started to do my fall decorating in our home. Boy how I love the holiday seasons. I just love the Fall colors. But especially since I live in the deep South and we have hot, hot, hot summers…I always look forward to the first cool weather that moves in.
Thank you for hosting such a festive, fun give-a-way. I have posted a link to your site on my blog.

Wow, I was just introduced to your website by reading the last Heart4MyHome and I am very excited to join your mailing list. Last Christmas we visited Victorian Cape May, NJ and I just wanted to share with you how they recycled their fall pumpkins. They spray painted them silver and used them in amongst their Christmas decorations and let me tell you it added a very unique flair. Hope you like the idea, too, as I will be doing the same this year when I decorate our outdoors.
I just love this time of year! And I love a wonderful giveaway! I would definitely like to enter – thank you so much! And if I had a blog, I would definitely think to you!
I love the great ideas & could always use MORE

Jamilyns last blog post..Our BIG News!
I’m trying to get motivated to start decorating for fall. I love fall. I love all things related to fall. However, it’s still 95+ degrees here, and we’re still in our pool, so it’s hard to put the summer stuff up.
So I’m reading everyone’s blogs to inspire me to get started. Have a great week!
love your design tips, your site is awesome!
