Thanksgiving project

by Kimberly on November 13, 2009 in holiday fun · 3 comments

I haven’t tried this one yet, but it looks like it’s right up our alley. A fun little craft for my toddler and me. It’s showcased as a place card for Thanksgiving dinner, which is a great idea, but it would also be fun to send these in the mail to far away loved ones. I think I might just try it. I’ll let you know how it goes.[read: how long my three  year old's attention holds/until I start using my own fingerprints]

…to be thinking about holiday decorating? I know of those who put their Christmas lights up before Thanksgiving, even their Christmas tree. Me, well, I aim to have the shopping done by T-day, and the cards ready by December 1st. Key word being “try.”

If you craft your way through the holiday season, you know it’s not too soon to get started. I discovered these ornaments while searching for instructions to replicate a homemade ornament from my childhood. Aren’t they pretty? And they seem easy enough to involve older chidlren.  A sweet gift for a neighbor or friend, don’t you think?  A monogram is always a classy choice.

In honor of my birthday today {I’m 32, wohoo!} I’m giving something away. When I went to the thrift store the other day I found a Coach Wristlet. I know. It really doesn’t mean much to me, and I don’t have the energy to look into whether or not it’s a fake, but I thought one of you might adore it. Yes?

Some birthday love, from me to you.



Leave a comment and I’ll mail this baby off to one of you. One of you fellow Coach lustees.

wedding band + a giveaway!

by Allison February 14, 2009giveaways

Funny story: when Viktor and I got married we were young, poor, college students. Emphasis on the young & poor. Viktor isn’t much for sentimentality, or materialism, so he didn’t care much for a wedding band. I really wanted to get one for him but he insisted we save the money, so I didn’t. Instead [...]

holiday entertainment.

by Allison December 30, 2008holiday fun

I’m still here. Barely. There was so much to-do-ing about Christmas this year that I’m taking a little bit of time to just relax and enjoy the holiday. My kids are still out of school, and my husband {miracle of miracles!} is still off work, so we are just hanging out doing puzzles, sledding, drinking [...]
