Faking Fall

My favorite season by far is Fall! I love the weather, the scents, the sights! Well the hardest part about living in the desert is that we have no distinct fall season. This morning the was a crisp wind in the air though, thus faking fall has begun! My first step, homemade potpurri:

In a sauce pan add about 2 inches of water, get a boil going on the stove.
Add what you like, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin spice
Also add, cinnamon sticks, apple peels, orange peels, ect of your choice
After it has boiled a minute or so, put on simmer and enjoy!
The house will smell amazing and cozy!

I did cinnamon and apple peels and it smells as if I have been baking all morning!
What will be my next step? Decorating! I am making a trip to the dollar store this evening. I found some great craft ideas using some itmes from there. I will add pictures after my first project of a door decoration.
I am so jealous of everyone out there who truly gets to experience fall, enjoy it for me!
