Thankful







I did not have a chance to blog for Thanksgiving...but I realized that everyday is "Thanksgiving" for me...( so it's ok to be a little late)! I am thankful for the gift of life , God's grace and my amazing friends! God has blessed me with a loving, supportive boyfriend, who is my whole world! He has given me a family who has always taken care of and provided me with a wonderful life...but this year my girlfriends kept coming to my mind on Thanksgiving day....and the bonds that we have that are unbreakable! These girls have sustained me...been there through thick and thin. Some of the best days of my life have been spent with this group. The truth is sometimes guys just don't like to talk to the extent that girls do, and sometimes you don't want to hear what your famly has to say...but girlfriends....they will talk for hours on end and even re-visit the same topic over and over because they love you! My girlfriends are my soul mates...and I thank the Lord for the blessing that each of them is and the uniqe, individual gifts they offer...it makes our group that much sweeter! I thought of each of these beautiful women...and where they might be spending there Thanksgiving last Thursday, and even though spent far apart..one thing is for certain:






"Seasons change, people come into your life and people go, but it is comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart, and if you are very lucky, a plane ride away."






Happy Belated Thanksgiving to my best girls!

Painted Pumpkins


I love Fall! It is my absolute favorite time of year! I love the weather, the leaves changing, football, the baking, and most of all the DECOR! I know that we are all fans of the "original jack-o-lantern"......and I am too...but here lately I'm obsessed with painted pumpkins! I know this is not a new concept at all...and I have been painting my pumpkins for the past 3 years...but I really got excited about all the different possibilities that you have with this creative idea! (AND ...you don't have to throw your pumpkin away after Halloween..it will last right through Thanksgiving...which saves both time and MONEY!) These are just a few idea's I came across....very simple...and very cute! (I'm thinking of hosting a painted pumpkin party...next fall)
