Can you believe next Thursday is Thanksgiving already?

I have to admit, I was getting a little overwhelmed realizing how close it was and thinking about what I wanted to get done prior... you know. Probably what everyone feels at least one or two times before you get company for the holidays.

But then I found this cute card that was hand made and given to me by my nieces and nephew, on my husband's side of the family, a few years ago. We played games more that year than we had in previous years and we had so much fun. We laughed. a LOT...

Looking at this note still brings both a smile and a tear (I'm emotional, what can I say?).

It reminded me that decorating, cooking/baking, shopping and all of that can be fun (and, at times, stressful), and I won't quit posting about it because that's what we do on this blog.  But many times I can't even remember from one year to the next what my decorations were or what food I made.  What I do remember is the time spent and memories created with family and friends (no, this photo isn't my family :-)).

Speaking of games, I couldn't resist sharing these Chocolate Domino Cookies from Country Living. How cute are they? I wonder if you could make scrabble cookies? :-)

How about you? What special things have you done in the past or will you do this year to create special memories?

Can you believe that it's already November? Before you know it many of us will be celebrating Thanksgiving with our families and friends, and stuffing our tummies with turkey and all the trimmings.

Rather than drag out a bunch of Thanksgiving ideas over this month, I decided to do a Thanksgiving mega roundup post of sorts, to provide you with links to ideas for you to use for the upcoming holiday. Not to say that I won't post anything else Thanksgiving-related this month, but this will be my "major" post. Hope you find something you like!

diyideas.com recommends softening up a stick of butter and gently pressing it under plastic wrap to flatten. Use cookie cutters dipped in hot water to cut the butter into fall shapes. Set the shapes onto a saucer and cover with plastic wrap until serving time.

Write out copies of your beloved recipes on colored notecards, then decorate with stamps. Use clothespins to hang them from a length of ribbon near the door; guests can take them as they leave. (idea/image from country living)

Hope you're having a spectacular day!

Minutes after I hit publish on this post, I saw this idea from Mama Thompson so I had to add it. What a simple way to decorate for the season and a clear daily reminder of what the season is about!
