I can't believe that tomorrow is the first of December! Where has the year gone!?! I've been busy lately so the blog has been ignored. Had a nice Thanksgiving with my family. One turkey down, at least 3 more to go. Luckily, I only cook 2 of them!
I was featured in this beautiful treasury for my East County team. We are a festive bunch! Lots of new Christmas cards in the shop, I'll post pictures later.
I can't believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Where did this year go? It seems like each year goes faster and faster. I blinked and my daughter is 5 and in school. My baby boy is fast approaching 2. It's a hard job, being a parent. It's more work than you would ever expect. But it's so worth it. When they run up to you and throw their whole body at you to give you a hug. Or they give you an unexpected 'I love you'. Yes, it's hard work but it's work I'm so very thankful for. What are you thankful for?
I meant to post pictures of our Halloween decor last month but never got around to taking the pictures until right before we took everything down. This was the first year we did the graveyard and I was so pleased with the way it turned out.
Complete with dead flowers, rats, spiders and lots of bones!
How adorable are these birdhouses? These sweet little ornaments are from the Etsy shop thatissocute. I think the name of the shop says it all

Yay, my shop is listed as one of the promos in the November LBB! I had a bit of a fright earlier this week when I contacted Kim and she didn't think she had my samples. She found them though and then put up with my wondering when they were going to be on the site. And now they finally are!
I wasn't able to send in a huge number of samples, hopefully those people who do get them in their box like them!
I received my October Little Black Box today and was so happy to find a soy melt from Moodwax was one of the samples. I can't wait to use it, it smells fantastic. Check out the scent options you can choose from, my goodness, what a list!

I just completed my first trade and I must say, it was a great experience! I am now the proud owner of this stunning ornament from starless
Beautiful, right? I can't even begin to imagine the hours that go into creating something like this. It looks like the earth to me, I just love it. Starless got my quilted Christmas cards and a birthday card in the trade. I think I'm quite lucky that my very first Etsy trade worked out so nicely!
Here are a few other pretties from starless. Definitely check out her shop, you will not be disappointed!
I logged into a nice surprise this morning. I've been featured in a really cool retro treasury.
That's my Retro Congrats card there at the top.
Tallib is the curator of this beautiful treasury and she even featured it on her blog.
What a great lift, especially since I'm fighting off a stupid cold and I'm not feeling well.
