Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  I'm hoping that as you read this, my house is all decked and my turkey is roasting in the oven.  But for now (I write these posts ahead of time) I can just day dream of juicy turkey and all the trimmings while thinking about what I'm thankful for.  And hoping to get time to get the tree out and the 6 overflowing boxes of sparkling goodies piled onto it....

While the furniture is moved around to make space for the upcoming tree, we decided to take advantage of the space and have a dance party. I looped a strand of rope lights around the room, gathered up the grand fairies, and hit the button on what my husband thinks is the world's most annoying toy.

It's loud, it's obnoxious, and WE LOVE IT.  That is, the girls and I. Not so much their grandfather. But he will dance with us.  I bought it for half price and with a 30% coupon off that price at Kohls. And I think the ten bucks is a  much better investment than the two year gym membership that I bought.  This little machine is a big workout.

We are learning to dance, "North Pole Style."  Here I am shovelling snow. We also get to chase snowflakes and catch them on our tongue, go ice fishing, jiggle like Santa's tummy, and plenty more cool dance moves. 

(I bought these slinky,fuzzy jammies at the same 50% off, then 30% off sale at Kohls, and have been very popular with Dewdrop when I wear them. She thinks I am some sort of a human stuffed animal and won't stop petting me.)

I think she is pretty snuggly too.

Enjoy your turkey and your thanking.  I know I have a lot of things to be thankful for. 

And if you are in the mood to get ready for the holidays, I have some kits available (with more to come).

I'm calling these Tart Tin Tassels.

Both kits are available in the Boutique. 

Along with these fairy kits from Birdsong.  Wouldn't they make adorable Elves on Shelves???

I'm doing that with one of them this year.

I'm also planning to fill a silver tree with them.

Or if you'd prefer to buy something ready to go instead of making it, I've got one ornie listed in the Etsy shop and hope to get more up soon.  

Also, I have seats left in my Romantic White Christmas workshop at the studio on Friday Dec. 5.  Maybe I'll see you in Lawrence??
