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.
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON!
STAY TUNED FOR ANOTHER GIVEAWAY!
NOTE: If you link The Inspired Room up in your blogroll with my NEW address, I give you a bonus entry. Because then I know we are really friends!
And, by the way, THANK YOU to those of you who have gone over and VOTED for me on Divine Caroline! So nice of you, I’m so touched! It really is an honor to be nominated and thought of! If you enjoy The Inspired Room, I appreciate the support as always.
So, carry on, dear nesters!
It is not too late to join in the Fall Nesting party!
We are just getting warmed up!

Lovely, just lovely. Melissa, could you please pass on the prayer request for a young lady I met through the Happy Turtle? I’ve learned about her just today. Thank you.
What a great give-a-way. Thanks!
I have you linked too.
Melissa,
I love your Fall Nesting idea and it;s fun to follow all the links and see God’s creativity working in so many women and their homes. For me, the book on our coffee table would be a little nesting. And once in awhile, I could snuggle up in fleecy throw to be inspired again and again.
You are terrific!
I love your site. this is great. Please enter me in your drawing.

Beths last blog post..Yep, they are really this cute!
I’m usually more of a reader than a commenter, but I’m curious as to the many ways to decorate with a pumpkin. Hmm, how many can there be?
brandy.eganhouse@drake.edu
I love your blog and look forward to reading all the new posts! Fall Nesting Week is inspiring; I’m wanting to create new decorations even though it’s still over 100 degrees here.
What a fun-looking book! I’d love to enter. My email is kilnashee@hotmail.com

kriss last blog post..Porch Decor for Fall
Hi! When you first suggested the “Fall Nest Week” I thought I couldn’t possibly get in the mood with 90 degree weather in Wisconsin…finally. Now today we are at 60ish and I am going full speed ahead. I did change the link in my blogroll, and I will post some of my nesting later in the weekend!
dawns last blog post..Cupcake swap
Love your photos! Looking forward to more ideas. You have a really nice blog.
Started with my front door, working on the entryway and kitchen. Maybe I’ll be bold enough and try photos.
I started “Fall Nesting” around 11pm Labor Day evening.

I just dicovered you blog and I am still pouring over it and soaking it all in. I love it!! Thank you for sharing so much for those like me who are “nesting challenged” and need inspiration and ideas!!
Added a post and a linky thingy for the Fall Nesting party. Have enjoyed all the posts and inspiration but most of all really got the message of ‘work with what you have’.
My decorated corner is celebrating the recent acceptance of shabby chic with a harvest bounty of seashells collected from around the globe. Thank you.
