Thanksgiving Week Begins

It’s been a busy week or so, and I posted a lot of what’s been going on during the last week. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever posted five times in one week before! What I didn’t mention is that we also had three daylong meetings at work, trying to finalize important decisions we’ve been evaluating.

And now, as we head into the Thanksgiving holidays, I’m not feeling like I can slow down much! I’ve still got assignments from last week’s meetings I have to follow up on, and several things I need to wrap up before Thursday.

We started a tradition several Thanksgivings ago where we give the girls a Christmas book, along with a holiday home décor item (or two or three). I’ve found the book already (Christmas for a Dollar—sweet story), and I know what project I’m going to give the girls.

(Daughter spoiler: If you’re a Gardner girl, stop reading now if you want to be surprised on Thursday!) I’ve decided to make them each a Ho Ho Ho banner (the large one I showed last week). I love my new banner and want each of the girls to have one of their own.  

Sterling and Shanna left today for a two-day horseback ride, and I have to admit that secretly I’m looking forward to having the house to myself. I’m planning on working during the day and staying up late at night making the banners.

So, don’t be surprised if I don’t do much posting this week. I’ve got my work cut out for me for the next couple of days, and then once the holiday hits, I’ll be loving every minute with my family. Of course, I’ll check in this week—just not five times!

Thank you so much for generously sharing your life with us. I have followed your wonderful family for over 10 years. You are an amazing woman. God Bless!

What a great gift for your daughters! Hope you have fun making them. I like to do the same thing - stay up late crafting when the house is "all to myself". Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family!

Don't ya love it? Having the house to yourself? When my hubby and son go camping, it is fun to do whatever I want to do. Sure I miss em, and are glad when they get back, but just that time alone is such a great re-charge.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hugs,
Di

I'm so jealous of you and your house to yourself. I have 3 young children (ages 3, 2 and 3 months) and am a SAHM so at times, I'd love to be home alone...someday (but then I'll miss what I have now, I'm sure). I love your tradition for your girls. I love traditions- thy are very important to me. I started one this year for our family- I used the top notes die and did a simple embellishment with flower fusion and little leaves die in the bottom left corner and in the top right corner did the antique bronze eyelet. My plan is at thanksgiving dinner (we have no family nearby so it is just the 5 of us this year) for us all to write what we are thankful for (it will be fun to see what the toddlers come up with) and string in on the rope from the clearance rack to make a garland of some sort- still working out the plans in my head. Happy Thanksgiving! Will you see the Browns this year? I know how hard it is to not live near family especially during the holidays.
