Thankful Chain

I really love this idea from {Silverbox Creative Studio}!  Everyone gets write one thing they are thankful for on a link of this chain.  What a great thing to do on Thanksgiving Day!  I'd like to make this a tradition.  You can imagine that the chain might get quite long as you continue to remember things you're thankful for all day long.  Here is the {printable}.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Tables

Just some decorating ideas for your Thanksgiving table.

Sweet and simple corn bundles sitting on top of a bare table.  Love that huge wreath! 

Love the gold theme here.  Golden pumpkins in hurricanes.  A gold charger under each plate, and a pumpkin on top.  Love the little frame, too!  It says "Blessed Thanksgiving". 

Love the simplicity of the leaf tied on top of a napkin here!  And I adore this centerpiece!!!  The candles, the berry garland, the gourds and the fact that it all sits on a piece of old wood. 

I really love pears this time of year, and incorporating them into a Thanksgiving place setting is my idea of yummy!  

Love how these artichokes look!  Kind of a different color scheme here, but I really like it!!

Love this simple centerpiece!  The pretty fall branches in a vase surrounded by pumpkins.  Sweet and simple!

I'm in love with the lanterns used as a centerpiece on this table!!  And the pinecones are lovely!  This would be a great Christmas table, as well.

Farewell to Fall

Are you ready to say goodbye? 

to the harvest? 

to the colors? 

to the warm chill? 

to the beauty? 

Before you do, make sure you check off every item on your fall bucket list.

3D Felt Pumpkin

start with a piece of felt cut to size to fit in a frame of your choice. 

cut 8 pumpkin shapes outta orange felt. 

fold a pumpkin in half and hot glue along the fold. 

glue it onto the felt background and repeat for all the pumpkin shapes.

so the glued edges of the folds are all right next to eachother 

cut a tiny green spiral 

glue one end of it to the top of the pumpkin along with a brown piece as a stem 

put it in the frame and cross-stitch "give thanks" onto the felt.

Cute huh!?  Visit {Simple Serendipities} for all the details.

Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle

My mouth started watering as soon as I read the name of this dessert.  Doesn't it sound divine!!?  And perfect for Thanksgiving!

Visit {My Blessed Life} for all the yummy details.

Fun with Sweaters

This is just a collection I've gathered of some new ways to use old sweaters.

Some pretty cute wintery bracelets if you ask me!

Wouldn't sweaters make the most comfy cozy blanket!!?

How about some cup warmers?  Love it.

And I love this sweater scarf idea I blogged about a while ago {here}.

Love these sweater pillows, and the tutorial to make them on {Brassy Apple}. 

And here's a cute idea to winter up some candles, or vases.

Time to get cozy!

Acorn Ball

Isn't this pretty!?  I love the way it looks, and I think it would be a good transition piece between Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

Spray paint a foam ball brown. 

Get a bunch of acorn tops. 

Glue them to the ball and then brush some mod podge on the edges and sprinkle them with glitter. 

Isn't it a pretty tree ornament? 

But, I love the way it looks all by itself, too.  So pretty!  Visit {Sweet Something Design} for all the details.

Q-tip Skeleton

Thought these were a cute idea for a kid-friendly Halloween craft!  Super fun and easy!!
