A New Favorite Blog.

I have found a new crazy, yummy, fun-filled blog I just have to share with you.  It's called Sweet Sugar Belle and it is so fun to look at.  One day when I get some time I have to try some of this stuff. She has get tutorials.  I am in awe of Callye's craftsmanship.  I think mine would be so messy.

We are having a few people over tonight and here is my table.

Day 7....Merry Christmas Printable Banner

Not to late to decorate!  Get your glitter on with this printable banner.

Just print, cut it out, glitter it up, hole punch and string your ribbon through!

Easy as can be...and adds a festive touch to any space.

Day 9...Peace on Earth Banner-Free Printable

My photos are poor. Really bad lighting but the banner is really cute. 

I am calling it  a mini banner. 3x3 squares that say "Peace On Earth"

Super easy! Download and print (on thick card stock.) 

Cut out.
Get your glue, glitter, hole punch and ribbon out to decorate.

You can download yours below.

Glitter is the key!

Day 14 and 13... Holiday Decorating!

Day 14

The New Christmas issue of Lonny is out and it is AWESOME!

I am totally in love with how this whole house is decorated and Lily and I really like this pink tree!

Aren't the colors in this room amazing!
  I am loving the the contrast of the blue wall with all of the decorations.
I am really into all shades of blue right now...

A Holiday Table Setting to die for!
I love that it looks like a winter wonderland but uses soft colors
(not your typical Christmas reds and greens)

Day 13

Grab a cute little button to dress up your blog for the holidays!

Day 22...Fresh Wreaths and Garland...

I love the smell of Christmas trees. It just makes it seem like the holidays. We have not gotten our tree yet...we are waiting till this weekend but I have ordered some fresh garland to put around the inside of my door.  I got mine from www.Costco.com but they're are lots of other great places too.  This is a great way to get that Christmas smell if you do a fake tree.

This is what I ordered from www.Costco.com

Topiaries from PotteryBarn

Lit Boxwood Wreath from Potterybarn

Boxwood Pine Garland from www.Christmas Farms.com

Lily's Laundry made Tip Junkie!

I can't believe it!  Our kids table (#17) and free printables made Tip Junkie! Here's the picture and the link.

Tip Junkie says...Kids Table

17.  Kids Thanksgiving Table Setting – I just adore all of these FREE Thanksgiving printable crafts made for the kids table.
18.  Turkey Sucker Holders - Cut the turkeys and then added the suckers to them. I took an exacto knife and cut a small slit to push the suckers through.
19.  Coloring Turkey Table - Cover the children’s dining surface with paper and set out pots of crayons for tic-tac-toe.
20.  Last Minute Kids’ Thanksgiving Placemat Tutorial – I used felt to make it a quick last-minute project to decorate my kids’ Thanksgiving table. This project can be done on the machine or by hand. I stitched it up by hand.

Here they are again if you want to download for your Kids Thanksgiving  Table....

New Favorite Blogs...

I have a couple of new favorite blogs I wanted to share with you.   I am totally into party planning and decorating for the holidays. I  have been scouring blogs for new ideas here are some of my favs.

Adult Thanksgiving Table Decor

Everything on this table I had.

I love that, don't you?  So does the hubby {*wink *wink}

I used moss, crystals, candles, twine, plants from my yard, crosses, decorative balls and more.

I wanted the table to have a "cornucopia" of color but also have a natural outdoorsy feeling.  I wrapped the silverware in napkins and tied them with twine.  I hung branches from the ceiling.  Lily and I made glitter pumpkins for the place settings. 

I hope this inspires your Thanksgiving Table.
