Pretty Presents

I'm one of those nuts who actually loves wrapping presents, so every time I see a pretty present I pause to admire it. :)

 

Even just presents as simple as "brown paper packages tied up with bows" looks so adorable!!  I also love these presents wrapped with sheet music.  Lovely!

 

Love it when they all sorta match...am I starting to sound OCD??  It's amazing what a little bit of ribbon can do!  Wonders!!

 

So gorgeous!  Love the white and especially the snowflakes in this beautiful bow!!

 

How cute is this!?  Stamping their names on the paper instead of using stickers and such.  Looks adorable, plus it's a lot easier to read.

 

Or, you could do initial tags.  These are adorable as well.  Love them, and they could totally be reused.

 

How cute is this package!!  I love the twine!  I love the use of pine branches and pine cones!  I really love the plain wrapping paper.  Not a big fan of the printed stuff.

 

And more brown paper packages.  Love these!!  Ribbons really shine when the wrapping paper is plain.  Adorable.

Happy Wrapping!

Pinecone Elves

Isn't this a cute craft idea to do with kids!? 

It looks pretty simple, too. 

Thank you, {Martha Stewart}!

And this one from {Woman'sDay} looks even easier!

Super fun.

Merry Christmas!

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.

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!
