I just packed up all of my 4th of July decorations today. I was undecided what theme to decorate with so I decided to pull out my fall decorations! My house is all cozy and fallish! I guess I'm used to decorating for the seasons because I decorated my classroom for over thirty years. Do you decorate your house for the seasons?

I decorate for Easter/Spring, Summer/4th of July, Fall/Halloween/ and Thanksgiving/Christmas. I have a different wreath for our front door for all the different occasions, too.

I have always wanted to be a wreath girl.....I only have a seriously crappy looking Christmas one, and if it is not a happy time during that time of the year for the other holidays, not happening :pokestick::killer::voodoodoll::giggle4: I DO really want to try to make a really cool Halloween wreath. I missed out on decorating for the last two Halloweens, and it was just painful. I have SO wanted to create some cool epic wreath....maybe I can ask my son to pull out my Halloween stuff early enough so I can see what all I have and create something cool from that. We shall see.......muahahahaaa..... :hiding1:

Girls, I took a floral arrangement class several years ago and I learned how to the "basics" for just about any kind of floral thig you could ever want to make. I didn't want to go at the time, a friend dragged me, but it was one of the best things I ever did. Once you know what basics you need, they apply to everything. I make a lot of my own wreaths - I buy grapevine wreaths at Walmart, etc. and decorate them myself. I also find them at places like Walmart and they're VERY reasonable. My 4th of July wreath came from there and it's beautiful.

I decorate for winter, valentine, easter…..then fall, halloween, Sinterklaas, Christmas
I have no clue what to use as summer deco, since a beach theme isn’t my thing, so nothing from easter till mid september usually. Depends a bit on the weather. If it’s grey and raining a lot I start fall decorations sooner.

I just usually have a big pot full of artificial sunflowers in my house for summer, Sonja. I found some beautiful, big ones this year at Walmart. That's about all I do and I cut some flowers from my garden and bring them in once in awhile.

Way back when, I would decorate for the seasons/holidays. I was a PreK teacher so it was in my blood.;)Then my kids' school projects were added to the decor that I had made myself when I had time to make my own. (Hard to tell the difference between my "art" and a 4 yo's Bwuhahaha!).
We still decorate the house fully for Halloween (usually that happens in late Sept) and Christmas.
I do a small amount of decorating for the summer- seashells/sea glass, beachy-scented candles etc. But Halloween is the *b8g* one here.

That's awesome! A lady I know used to teach wreath making classes and I always wanted to go. She's had some health issues this last year so I'm not sure she still does them. I would have loved to have gone.

SAME here....Halloween comes first, and then I take it down to do Christmas. DONE. And then I still leave lights up because I love lights ALL year round :heartpumpred: :heartpumppink: :heartpumpred:

@joyfulheartdesigns Make a steampunk Hallowe'en wreath. That would be so cool and very different. Add lots of metal objects to the leaves and autumn flowers.
I dressed as a steampunk witch one year which went over really well.
I decorate for Christmas only and have made my own wreaths and garlands. DH loves Christmas and wants the house decorated from top to bottom. I have so many wreaths I have run out of doors and walls.
