There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me

My last post for this month. I have officially put away all the thanksgiving/fall decor and busted out the Christmas stuff. Before I start posting all the wonders that is Christmas I have one last fall decorating (and thanksgiving day) post to share.



My sweet little dvd cabinet that I fixed up. Notice one of my most precious mercury glass knobs is broke? Hubby did that. When he told me about it I wanted to cry. My husband of course was very sorry. It still stings when I see it missing. I will someday be able to replace it. Anyway I printed the little vintage postcard to stick in my apothecary jar and that little owl cost me .75, feather, pumpkins and leaves all fill the other jars. Free fall stuff.



The thankful banner I made with my PSA stamps. They have the most beautiful letters. I will be making another for Christmas. I love how it came out. Very easy too.

I also made the kids tic tac toe games for them to play while they waited for dinner or after.




These fall leaf picks



and this tiny Give Thanks mini mini book. All of them I used the Hello kitty stamp set from PSA.

All of it has been packed away for next Thanksgiving. We did have a pretty good day. Stressful but good. The kids loved all the food.



The turkey looks really good. Sadly I think I cooked it a little to long. It wasn't as juicy as I wanted. I don't have a meat therm so I was really just guessing. Next year I am investing in one.


Finished the feast off with a little friendly game of chess with Uncle Rob.



Oh and a tat done by my 14 (soon to be 15) year old daugher Raven.

December holds so many things. Christmas mantel is started. Ravens 15Th birthday is being planned. A little get together with a whole lot of family Christmas eve. *sigh* Of course a whole lot of Christmas craftiness. Stay tuned.

Hope you all had a wonderful (thankful) day!

Gobble gobble goo and gobble gobble giggle

Thanksgiving is 3 days away. I am not fully prepared. I am sure it will all be a last min thing if I ever really truly reach that finish line. Something is always left out. It is weird I usually don't do Thanksgiving so I don't decorate for it. I am always dreamin of Christmas. Since it is at my house this year I feel like I cant even look at Christmas decorations.


I have done a few more things in my house. I painted a black shelf. The black was just to harsh so white just seemed to be the appropriate fix. I distressed it a bit.


I made some more of the crepe paper rolled flowers in fall colors of course.


The vase is from the dollar tree and I just wrapped some Hambly around it. It looks lovely with a tea light in it also.

Didn't cost me anything because I had all the stuff laying around. If I didn't it would've cost me 2 bucks to make (if that).


A little more fall fun around my house.


I ♥ this little owl candle.


Bought this chalkboard up in Columbia.




I didn't get my little fall ornaments made nor a fun fall frame that I seen online. Next year. I did however manage to make a banner and tic tac toe games for the kids. I will post those wed.

Last but not least I give thanks for all my blog readers and all those kind enough to appreciate my work. Thank you for taking time out of your day to drop me some luv. :)
