Cyber Monday Madness

Monday, November 28, 2011

How was everyone's weekend? Mine. Was. Fabulous.

I cooked and cooked and we ate and ate. And ate. My Thanksgiving meal was a hit {yes, I actually prepared everything on the menu and we have leftovers for 3 weeks.} and then I had a fun Black Friday morning running around San Tan Mall with my mom, grandma, and littlest sister Barrett. I didn't go out searching for anything crazy, but I DID grab a gift for my sister Eryn and snagged this darling scarf for myself at a great deal {Penelope wanted to model}.



The rest of the weekend was spent as The Christmas Fairy sprinkling cheer and holiday decorations all over my house. It was THE BEST! Braden had to go out of town unexpectedly, so I stayed up super late making up a ton of Christmas stuff! I'll show it off here tomorrow for Team Tuesday, and there will be a sneaky peek of it on the hello there! house blog later today for My House Monday feature, The Watson Abode.

Now onto the Cyber Monday Madness! Rhonna Designs is having a fantastic sale, 40% off of a $20 purchase with the coupon code RDcyber11. Look at all the fabulous new fonts & kits that came out today:

Isn't all this new stuff too fabulous? I am obsessed with the Punk Junque. And the fonts? The Christmas dingbats are going to be so awesome to uses for gifty tags.

Thanksgiving Madness

Wednesday, November 23, 2011

Ok, I've left you all hanging this week. It was the Fall Festival in Olivia's class today and I was on the Party Planning Committee. It was a crazy busy blur, and the longest 4 hours of my life this morning carting supplies, running and buying last minute materials and blowing up giant brown balloons, and stuffing paper turkeys but now it's over and it was glorious. Here is what we did.


All these activities can be found on my Fall Festival Pinboard or my Giving Thanks Pinboard


No I must go grocery shopping for Thanksgiving because all I've purchased for the meal is cranberries and bourbon. We're gonna need more than that for 25 people.


Thanksgiving Menu 2011

Sunday, November 20, 2011

Holy guacamole, Thanksgiving is on THURSDAY people. How in the hell did that happen? Wasn't it JUST Halloween? Cripes, this month has flown by. And as far as I'm concerned, Christmas starts on Friday so I have a lot of Thanksgiving ground to cover before it's Yuletide-palooza up in this house. Let us begin with our menu for our first hosted Thanksgiving holiday:

I'll be sharing some of my favorite recipes this week for the best Thanksgiving meal of all time! 




Team Tuesday: Getting Ready for Thanksgiving

Tuesday, November 15, 2011

Every year for Thansgiving we pile 5 cranky kids in our car and bounce around to 3 different families houses, only to be overstuffed and overspent. This year we said, NO MORE!, ya'll have to come to US. We will be hosting a lovely Thanksgiving Soiree filled with lots of laid back, holiday delciousness. Feast your eyes on our invites, courtesy of Rhonna Designs Grateful Glam Kits and The Graphics Fairy.


I found this printable invitation on Pinterest and used the Grateful Glam Backgrounds to make it my own. I also used The Graphics Fairy Turkey and Cutlery images, as well as the House of 3 Magical Brush set for the banner.  























Visit Rhonna's blog to see the AMAZING things the other ladies of Team Tuesday came up with! There is a Grateful Glam Wreath that I am completely coveting right now.

Thanksgiving Pinspiration

Wednesday, November 2, 2011

Of course, yesterday being November 1st, all my Halloween decorations got torn down and now my house is naked waiting for the Thankgiving festivity to begin. I did a lot of crafting today, photos to come, but I thought I should share some of my favorite ideas I've hoarded on Pinterest to prepare for the next holiday!
