Brown Paper Packages

...tied up with string...

See where I'm going here?

Hi!

How are you?
Gearing up for the weekend?

What about the Holidays? 

Mostly just the weekend?
Me too.

Well, let's kick it off with some pretties, shall we?

These are a few of my favorite things:

Loving Under The Table & Dreaming's funky wreath roundup

Speaking of holidays, if anyone (Todd) wants to put this beaut under the tree,

I promise not to be mad.

Whoops, cutest thing I've ever seen alert!

ELF DONUTS

TO LEAVE OUT FOR SANTA'S ELVES!!!!

Sorry if you're still recovering from that last blast of cute,

because...

this. is. too. much.

DIY T-shirt knotted headband

Worship this fabulous shop.

Great for gifts!

How do you type the sound I just made as I wiped the drool off my chin?

Eh, well, maybe some things are better left un typed said.

Homemade Baklava

Happy weekend, dudes.

Catch ya on the flip.

Today's Thought

gingy

Many of you have probably already seen this, 

but I am just squealing with delight

over Bakerella's Ginerbread Heads

I mean, does it get any cuter than this?

Visit her page for detailed instructions on how to make

and decorate these deliciously adorable little guys!

Currently Being Inspired By...

Winter White!

There is something so sophisticated about the perfect combination of winter whites.

Dreamy, cozy, & fab.

Let me show you what I mean:

Hope everyone had a GREAT Thanksgiving!

I certainly did & am now (in case you couldn't tell) in the full holiday spirit!

Happy Monday!

:)

and one of those things is definitely you.

Welcome to dinner

Since we can't all be in the same place this holiday,

I thought I would invite you to this internet table of sorts.

And because this gathering is imaginary,

I thought my menu could be as well :)

If I had the worlds largest table & you could all sit around it this holiday

(and I had actual time management skills, and twice as much equipment in the kitchen),

heres what I would serve:

Perfect Roast Turkey

Lightened Up Stuffing

Individual Sweet Potato Casseroles

Mashed Potatoes

Homemade Rolls

(can never have too many carbs on Schpanks!)

Pumpkin Pie, duh.

and just to spice things up, a Bourbon Pecan Pie

Shoot! Now I'm super hungry & have to wait two more days...

What are your plans for Thanksgiving?

Cooking anything fun?

Golden!

SO...

who's excited for Thanksgiving?

(me X 100)

As opposed to posting about beyond predictable pilgrim hats & feathers, 

I thought I'd show you what I'm really thankful for right now...

GOLD

Um, hello!

What's not to be thankful for?

Hope you're having a great day!
