Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Thanksgiving went well! We had everyone over for Turkey. Great time spent with family. We also had everyone over for Christmas! I made a Christmas Tree cake. I love Christmas, but I am so glad all of my Christmas projects are finished! I will try to upload some pictures, but it depends on if my computer wants to work or not... Anyways, future things coming up: planning for the future, preparing things for my hope chest to one day fill in my home, and updates from day-to-day life. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and have a Happy New Year!!! God Bless!

Turkey?!

So, my mom decided she was going to cook the turkey... so no trying the recipe for me. Oh well at least I didn't have to wake up at 5am. And I am sure next year I will have a chance at my own turkey ;) I'm sure moms turkey will be wonderful as always! But if anyone tries that recipe, I would love to hear about it! Happy Thanksgiving all! I hope you have a blessed day! God bless! :D

Thanksgiving

Tomorrow is the big Turkey day! There are lots of things to get done around here. We are having most of my family over tomorrow and I am super excited. I will be cooking the Turkey this year... my first ever! I have found this wonderful recipe and I have wanted to try it since last Thanksgiving. This year mom has agreed to let me handle the bird. If you are still looking for a recipe for your bird, this is the one I am using: Turkey Recipe I will be sure to post pictures of how the turkey turned out and if my family loved it.  

I know Thanksgiving is tomorrow, but I have been planning for Christmas for over a month now... This Christmas I have decided that all of my gifts will be handmade, nothing purchased. Everything I will be using are things I already have around the house. I have just about everything I am going to make planned out, but there are still a couple of people I have no idea what to make... So, I guess I am still looking for a few ideas.

 If you have been searching for a place to find great ideas for homemade Christmas gifts look no further than sewmamasew.com/blog2/  They have a new category everyday in the month of November, so I am sure everyone can find something they would love to create. Also, if you are still searching for that perfect homemade gift to create you can search the ideas from past years. And if you still can't find anything... You can look at past months with their ideas for projects such as: Hand Sewing Month, Kids' Clothes Month, and even Sew-Alongs. This really is a great blog with lots of great ideas I hope everyone gets a chance to check it out! 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! God Bless!!!
