Um, where is November going?



Looking at the calendar today, we have a week and a half until Thanksgiving?!
What?!
I need more time.

I am about to show you the start of a lot.
But I am no where near done.

First up, though... A Thanksgiving theme plaque. I got the wooden plaque from Wal-Mart ($2.97) and the printables from Today's Fabulous Finds.





Here are some additional snapshots, providing proof that I am working my crafty tail off, trying to get ready to host only our second ever Thanksgiving in our house.  Our theme for this year is Owls & Acorns.
I found so much stuff. Now if only I had access to all of the acorns I had to pick up for punishment as a kid. Man, I'd love to have a bag of them for crafts.


The "mantel" nor the house are by any means completed, as far as decorating goes. Hopefully during the next few days I will be able to share a finished product.  For now, i do want to point out the two picture frames (above, left)... I took fabric from a cloth napkin (owls) and some sample material from my new pillow cases (they came in a fabric case), and created "pictures."  I added a new lampshade (different from the one I used for Halloween) - I love it! It's actually going to go in my room, with it's sister, once I find a new pair of lamps to repurpose.

Until then, it will give us T-Day joy!

Hope you are having a great day!
