So we all ate turkey and felt grateful, and now are frantically decorating, shopping, crafting, etc. for Christmas. But before we get too far into Christmas, I must share my Thanksgiving Insanity for this year. Here is the centerpiece I made for one of the tables. I still love the marigolds and the vines on […]
Just a couple more Thanksgiving ideas
November 26, 2008 by 2 Comments
Once upon a time I took a trip to visit my sister back East and collected lots of these and brought them back in my suitcase, because they are hard to find in AZ. Those leaves have been used in my autumn decor in various ways over the years. At least one year, I wrote […]
Christmas Card Parade-Great Idea
November 22, 2008 by 8 Comments
For those of you who are still trying to come up with a clever but do-able idea for your cards, you are in luck. My sister has finished designing her cards for this year and said I could post them (and submit them to Tip Junkie–she wants to win, too.), since she doesn’t have a […]

November 21, 2008 by 6 Comments
Tip Junkie is having a Christmas Card contest, and you know it is hard for me to resist a contest, so I am going to share with you all of my previous Christmas Cards (that I can find!). Initially, I was going to do this all in one long post, but since I am finding […]
Glass Pebble Magnets
November 20, 2008 by 13 Comments
I’m sure I’m not the first to post about making magnets. There are gorgeous versions of these on etsy and lots of other places in blogland. But my husband and I teach a primary class (10-12 year-olds) at church and this idea fit in really well with our lesson. So we made them for the […]

I’m listed along with several other beautiful blogs today here, as places to go for inspiration for your upcoming holiday tables. I have posts featuring some Thanksgiving tables here, here, and here. But I thought I may as well go a head and get the rest of my ideas up here now, since Thanksgiving is […]
The Great Pumpkin Pumpkin Cake
November 18, 2008 by 15 Comments
I had a couple of pumpkin-themed parties this weekend to tell you about. Remember the pumpkin baby shower ideas I shared here? Well, this is the cake I ended up making for the shower. It was a hit, so I thought I would share in case, you are in the market for something besides pumpkin […]

Here’s a peek at a project I’ve started for Christmas. Remember in this post, how I said that I choose themes for all kinds of holidays each year? Well this project, is all about the theme I have chosen for this year. Any guesses?
Counting Down Christmas–An Advent Calendar
November 14, 2008 by 22 Comments
***UPDATE, I have just posted my advent inserts, here!*** I had been wanting to make an advent calendar of some kind, for a long time. I was hoping to do something in the shape of a Christmas tree because that is what we had growing up, but I was hoping for a version […]
The Fruits of the Harvest Thanksgiving
November 12, 2008 by 10 Comments
I know some people are going to read this and be confused…I thought Thanksgiving was a theme. Sort of, but I have a tendency to attach more specific themes to everything, from decor to birthdays, to Holidays…Christmas, too! (but more on that later).
