I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday. We had an amazing day! It was our first time to host, and we had Matt's extended family over. It was a lot of fun with lots of laughter and family! The benefit of hosting was we hardly had to do any of the cooking. Sweet deal in my book. I can't wait to share some of these pictures with you! I hope you enjoy the rest of this holiday weekend. I did a little Black Friday shopping last night with my sister-in-law and am now gearing up Continue Reading
The Christmas Tin Can Makeover

Now that my quilt is finished and my room has been coming together, it was finally time to start making those decorative pillows Continue Reading
Embroidered Owl
***This giveaway is now closed. Please keep checking my blog for more awesome giveaways to come!** Last week, I had a sweet customer on etsy ask me if I would make her some embroidered owls.
