Give Thanks

I really can't believe it's November?! Anyone else a little shocked at this one?

Like many, this time is my most favorite time of the year!  I took a few pictures of how I like to decorate for the (I think) much overlooked holiday of Thanksgiving.

I may or may not have had Christmas music playing while I decorated....that's not against the rules is it?

...

After all, if they had Thanksgiving music I would have listened to that :)

Pomander Balls and Wedding Centerpieces

What in the world am I doing with all of these Pomander Balls you ask?

Well, they are part of centerpieces for my little brothers wedding that is next weekend!

I love how they turned out and they look so pretty.....these pictures don't really do anything justice.

Here is the centerpiece in it's entirety.  I got the ideas from my best friend - Pinterest :)
There are teardrop crystals and tiny white light strung throughout.  They look so pretty at night all lite up!

Grab some Mason jars and paint, paint away.  And after all that work - sand it off?!

Supplies you will need: flower punch, cute paper, Styrofoam balls (I used the 3"), paint that matches your paper.  Use this to paint the ball and lots and lots of pearl straight pins!

Start pinning your life away....lol

I hung these using some jute, tied a knot at the base and hot glued that to the ball.  After using these in the wedding we thought it would be pretty to use them to decorate up a Christmas tree!

Pinterest love...

I just want to make this soooooo bad! It's gorgeous!

Such a fun, creative gift idea!

Anthropologie worthy, without that outrageous price tag.  So fun!

Anything Halloween I'm all over.....I NEED these :)

This salad is to die for.  I made it, I loved it.  And so did everyone else who partook :)

Stay tuned for a tutorial on making cute felt bow hair clips!
