Thanksgiving Inspiration

Can you believe Thanksgiving is just 4 days away?! Amazing how fast time goes by! I hope everyone stocked up on their groceries this weekend, to beat the last minute recipe shoppers! I am hosting Thanksgiving this year, although it will be much smaller than ones I have hosted in the past..It will just be me, the hubs, my brother and my mom. I am excited to have a low key Thanksgiving and just kick back by the fire with a glass of wine, a good movie, and some yummy food, lots of yummy food! We have to get our energy for black Friday! I wanted to share with you some of my Thanksgiving inspiration, that I have stumbled upon thanks to pinterest! Check out my board here and feel free to check out all my boards and become a new follower!

I have an obsession with candles! Here are some awesome Thanksgiving candle ideas, that would be really easy to put together!

                             


                                    

A new twist on place card holders! I love all of these, they would definitely add a little something to any Thanksgiving table. 

                                  

                             

                                  


Wouldn't something like this make an awesome favor to give to your guests! Send them home with a little leftover and a book or just a few recipe cards for some leftover recipes! 


A fun Thanksgiving game. Everybody right down what they are grateful for and place it in a jar. Read them aloud and try to guess whose is who. 
Love this mantle!


Some beautiful table settings! I will be using sunflowers as my centerpiece! 

                                             

                                                 

                                                  


                                     

I spotted this cute Thanksgiving outfit! This would be great to go to a big Thanksgiving get together, I think I will be in sweats this year though! I will keep this in mind for next year though!


What are you looking the most forward to this Thanksgiving?! I hope that you found some of these pictures just as inspiring as I did. I hope everyone has an amazing day there is so much all of us should be thankful for! 

Thanks for reading! :)

Painted Craft Room and Sneak Peek

Last weekend the hubs and I successfully painted my new craft room, and I was hoping to be able to do the big reveal this week, but I am literally waiting for us to hang up one more item before I show off the entire room! Anyways, I wanted to share with you some pictures of the painting process and give you a little sneak peek of the room! I was rather proud of the hubs and I, we worked as a team and did an awesome job painting the room. Who are we?! I guess we are no longer "THAT" couple from renovation realities..ha...well at least we were able to avoid that title for this project! Maybe because the hubs worked so hard and put in so much effort! Special shout out to you hubby, if your reading! Love you! Anyways you remember the before picture right? If not here is how it was before.


We chose Valspar Oatlands Subtle Taupe as our color 
Now for the fun part...taping and painting....





The room is all painted and pretty much put together....Big Reveal is coming soon but for now here is a sneak peek! 


Oh on another note, last night kicked off our first Thanksgiving meal of the season! Coming from a divorced family and now adding my husbands family to mine, means lots of Thanksgiving meals! Last night we had Thanksgiving dinner at my dads and step moms. It was pretty delicious, forgot how awesome green bean casserole, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, and turkey are! My step mom even had a surprise gift for me that she thought would come in hand for my tacky sweater party! They were so cute, that I have to share with all of you! 

            

Aren't these darling?! Super cute Christmas Apron and these adorable hand towels, with Christmas owls!!! Everyone knows how much I love owls, just check out my collection. Anyways, special Thanks and Shout out to her, these rock! 

Thanks for reading! :)
