Happy (Almost) Turkey Day!

Yesterday our Thanksgiving plans of cooking a Turducken with the Oleson’s have been postponed until after work on Friday.
Tim and his family lost their Grandpa Morris this week – please send thoughts and prayers to them in this time of sorrow. Grandpa Morris was 91 years old and full of fight – he will be missed.

That being said – Eric and I are going to Claim Jumper! Just kidding – well not entirely … we might. We’re going to make the best out of the situation and decorate for Christmas, and maybe go out to eat and perhaps stop by the Santo residence for a hey hello and a piece of pie!

We look forward to our Turducken on Friday – whoever said Thanksgiving has to be on the same day as everyone else’s’? We’ll just be thankful one day longer and postpone the Turkey coma for the weekend!

I hope you have a Happy Turkey day – where are you going? What are you doing? ♥ Abby

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!

R is for Ronnebeck!
