Did you happen to check the calendar this morning? I know. It’s November! How did that happen? On my calendar that also means that it is time to refocus on being grateful and preparing for Thanksgiving. I’ve actually been wanting/needing to do this for a long time–it shouldn’t just be a November thing–but I’m hoping […]
Thanksgiving Wrap-up
November 29, 2010 by 3 Comments
I know you are all so “over” Thanksgiving and in the middle of Christmas shopping and prep. But in an attempt to feed my denial that Christmas is less than a month away and that I am turning another year older this week, I’m going to relive our fun Thanksgiving celebration and pretend it isn’t […]

The night before the fairy party, we had a family birthday dinner for my sister-in-law. Of course I was up to my eyeballs in pixie dust and other messes, so I was thrilled to have been given the opportunity to get a fresh flower delivery straight to my home that day. The Sunflower Guy offered to […]

I’ve been wanting to share this “comfort-food”-themed Gourmet Group meal with you, since I had the pleasure of eating it, a year ago. Unfortunately, I didn’t get photos right away, and then the season had kind of passed. I’m sharing it with you now, because some of the ideas, might work well on your Thanksgiving […]

Edible Placecard Holders for a Fun Thanksgiving

This idea has made it’s appearance in many Thanksgiving meals I’ve been involved in over the years. If you look closely, you can see my mini cornucopias in this post, and in this post. The cornucopias are made by “glueing” Runts candies into Bugles snacks, using Marshmallow creme as your glue. The trick is using […]
