Being as I'm not Haloween's biggest fan, I love to decorate my home with super cute fall decorations. I have found 11 of the cutest DIY decor items that are both inexpensive and adorable.

I've Done A Memory Board All Throughout College And It's One Thing I'm Not Leaving Behind After Graduation

Ken Lundberg

Making memories, counting blessings and starting anew is made easy by making an annual Memory Board

1. Once something goes on there, it can't be taken off.

3. The majority of the items need to be disposable.

4. When it's time to take it down, everyone who had a hand in an item on the board gets a thanks from me, whether or not they're in my life anymore.
