Happy Thanksgiving!!


... I am thankful most of all for a wonderful family and that my husband, Scotty, was able to spend the week at home with us. He was working from home, but he was here every night and every morning. It was nice!

I have a lot to be thankful for: my family, my faith, my health, my husband's job, a home to live in, friends, etc...

I am also thankful that my computer is temporarily fixed and I can post photos on my blogs. Hang in there friends... a new computer is in my near future. This old beast makes blogging very difficult and I'm too impatient to blog from my iphone. Sorry... hopefully it won't be long now. I'll write my list to SANTA.

Here are a few photos of our Thanksgiving table. My siblings, Mirriam and Josh, were able to spend the day with us. The food was good. We were on our feet all day cooking, but had a nice time! Believe me when I say that I was definitely thankful that my Achilles tendon has healed as well as it has, or that would have been torture!

Fall Decor around our house!

I just love fall decorations!! The colors are my favorite colors and I use them year round to decorate the house. I love the leaves changing colors, the air that becomes crisp and cool. Love, love, love fall.


Above are two pilgrims that I made at a Super Saturday several years back. I just love them. The boy sorta leans to the side a bit and I had to reinforce him last year with a few screws. I smile every year when I pull them out of the storage box.


The Fall letters I posted about yesterday...

Our kitchen table. This year I plan on making a burlap or muslin table runner slightly wider than the plaid one above (to go below it). That will be one of my next projects.

Fall Crafts




Yesterday I picked up the wood kit to make this pumpkin for my sign hanger. I forgot to attend the class I had signed up for last Saturday, even though I spent most of the previous week looking forward to it. Go figure?

The pumpkin and the FALL letters/acorns were bought as kits, at a local scrapbooking store... but, the gal (Nicole) who makes them and teaches the class also has a blog, sweetpickledesignscompany.

I just love her stuff, and can't wait to see her Christmas hanger. My guess is that it will be a tree; Caitlin thinks it will be a candy cane. We'll see! If you didn't see the Halloween Spider hanger, check him out. He was a bit harder to do as the teeth are all itty bitty individual pieces. Still easy though, don't be scared off by that!!

Tomorrow I'll post the rest of the Thanksgiving decorations I've set up around the house...
