Happy December

How can it be??? December 1st and Thanksgiving over, although I am barely recovered. Oh it was fun, but lots of shopping, cooking, preparing, bed making, laundry BUT so worth it! And I would do it again in a second. Now Advent calendars have been opened "1st" and cards purchased, decorating to do, packages to buy, wrapping to be done and things to be posted. December is a busy month, but I do try to enjoy it as much as possible. We are going to Arizona mid December to see a son and his wife. That will certainly be a nice break and so exciting too. Back for Christmas and then shhhhhh, my birthday and It's a BIG ONE! Yikes.......

Here are some pics of Thanksgiving, I wasn't really into photos as much this year BUT I will share what I have



                                          Place settings, Abby (8) made turkey napkin folds!!



                                                                     
                                                                      Turkey Feast



                                        Adding my hibiscus photo, oh how I love this plant!




I made these two hamsters for the girls as a Thanksgiving treat and sewed a cape for them!!! They did love them : )








Well, that's all folks! Smile lots, enjoy, BE KIND AND GRATEFUL. Thanks for visiting, I'm thankful for all of you!

  7. I agree, Robin, preparing Thanksgiving dinner is definitely a lot of work, but, it's so worth it. Now we have Christmas approaching - only 3 weeks from today. I love this time of year, don't you?
