With Thanksgiving and all the hustle and bustle of Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday, we forgot to tell you we were featured on our local Channel 11 news segment! We were so excited to be asked to do this, but unfortunately, when they called us to bring them some of our products we were out of town! BOO! So we decided to email her some printable PDF files of our products!

The wonderful Teresa Frosini put everything together for the segment! We hope to get the chance to actually take our products to Teresa and set them up for her next time!

 Click HERE for the full story!

We sent her some of our Christmas Collections to feature!

Thank you, Teresa for this opportunity!

xoxo,

It's almost that time of year, to bring your Elf on the Shelf out! Do you have one? You may remember our post about our Elf on the Shelf  last year{here}. If you have one of these little guys or gals ~ when do you bring yours back out to play for the season? 

We usually bring ours back out December 1st, but to tell you the truth, it's really hard to come up with 24 different hiding places for him/her. So we may wait a little longer this year before "Sabrina" comes back to our house! 

If you need some fun ideas for your Elf on the Shelf, check out these:

Hello Friends!!! 

Today we have a fun and festive tutorial to share with you!! I know, I know, it is not even Thanksgiving yet and here we are sharing a Christmas tutorial!! This is actually from a few weeks ago when we styled our Christmas photo shoot {more details to come on that soon}. We just couldn't wait any longer to share it with you!!

Cute right? It is so easy to make ~ here's how you can make one or 15! 

Supplies you will need:

Marshmallows {we used the large jumbo size}

Chocolate chips or chocolate candy melts

Peppermint candy {we used candy canes, but you can use starlight mints}

Sticks {we used wooden candy sticks from HERE or you could also use lollipop sticks}

Red striped paper straw  * optional *

Top with our Custom Christmas Gift Tags ~ you can get your's HERE

1) Place your candy in a plastic baggie and crush {we used a rolling pin}

2) Place chocolate in a bowl and melt in the microwave ~ ours took less than 30 seconds to melt

3) Take marshmallow on stick and twirl in the chocolate until it is fully covered

4) Once the marshmallow is fully covered in chocolate, coat the bottom and part of the sides with crushed peppermint candy. We only coated ours on the bottom and just enough on the sides so you could see it!

And..................there you have it!! 4 super easy steps!! 

You will see these beauties in our Peppermint Twist Christmas Collection that will be featured right here in the very near future!!! Stay tuned!! We can't wait to show it to you, but first things first ~ we have to celebrate Thanksgiving!! Hope we can wait that long, before we share it! 

If you decide to make these fun little treats, please let us know and send some photos ~ we'd love to see them!!! 

xoxo,

Hello, today we are sharing some beautiful Thanksgiving Tablescapes. 

When you decorate your Thanksgiving table, is it more traditional or modern, inside or out? There all several options. Personally, I love to bring the outdoors inside ~ there is just something about bringing nature inside {minus the bugs ~ UGH}! 

{Source}

{Source}

Do you reside in a warm temperture climate during this time of year? If so, what about setting up your Thanksgiving table outside? I wish I could do this but sometimes it is just so cold here in the Dallas area. I'm thinking the West Coast families could do this with ease!

{Source}

What a great idea ~ bring some outdoors in or at least make it look that way! 

Some fabulous and realitivly easy decorating ideas:

~ Use burlap as a table cover and decorate with fabric leaves

~ If you have nice handwriting or if you prefer, create a Thanksgiving saying on the computer using a beautiful font and copy onto the burlap tablecloth ~ for example  

Thankful for Family & Friends {this is Chopin Script} Like this one:

{Source}

~ Purchase several pumpkins in all different sizes and place them around your Thanksgiving table or fireplace

~ Hollow out apples {green or red} and add some votive candles

~ Take black paper cups and turn them upside down on a 3" round black circle {cut out of card stock} embellish them with some gold ribbon and a buckle and you have yourself a Pilgrim's hat

We would love to see photos of your Thanksgiving table and/or home decor! 

If you are in need of added pizzazz, check out all of our Thanksgiving party decor ~ HERE 

{quick glimpse of all of our Thanksgiving collections to date}

We hope you have a wonderful day!!
