Tip On Decorating for Fall: My husband and I took 3 of our grandchildren to the pumpkin patch and while there I took various pictures of them with Papa.  This year I have them framed and sitting on a mantel and throughout my home and studio.   Simple, yes.  I chose some cute frames that compliments the pictures.
