Cupcake Liners

Happy new week everyone!

I've been puttering around the kitchen

and look what I found:

Unused cupcake liners left-over from an afternoon of baking.

And since I don't have enough to make another

batch of cupcakes, I'm using them for

a week of craft projects!

From blah, they're now Tada!

I've turned them into award medallions!

Use these for school or office contests,

give them as awards or attach them to prizes!

Have a great day!

Thanksgiving Friday

If you've visited before, you know that I've saved the Fridays of November for "Thanksgiving Friday". And I'd like to begin by thanking Nicolette of Simply Colette for this lovely award that she passed on to me:

Isn't it cute? I love the journal with all the things a girly-girl loves!

Today, I am thankful for...

Fireworks

Floral patterns

Guardian angels

Books...lots & lots of books

Puppies (extra thanks for ones with bows in their hair!)

Sturdy umbrellas

Best friends

I hope you find time today to say "Thanks"!
Have a fabulous weekend!

Thanksgiving Friday

I think it's important to count life's daily blessings and here in the US, Thanksgiving is just days away. That's why for the entire month of November, Fridays on my blog will be "Thanksgiving Friday"!

I want to thank Anna Lindsey over at All Things Creative
for giving me this awesome award!

Thank you also to Lauren who featured me on her blog today.

Today, I am also thankful for...

The scent of freshly washed laundry

Buttery scones served with strawberry jam

Puddles after the rain

The first snow of winter

Rainbows!

When the circus comes to town

Starry, starry nights


What are you thankful for?
Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanksgiving Friday

For the entire month of November, I'll be treating Fridays as "Thanksgiving Friday". Don't you agree that our everyday blessings are the real TADAs! in life?

First up, I want to say THANK YOU to Filipa for sending me this award a few months back...it's the Premium Meme Award:

In accepting this award, I need to list seven of my personality traits. But let me break the rules a bit and instead, I'll list seven things that I'm thankful for.

I am thankful for these TADAs!...

Catching a peaceful sunrise

Witnessing a dramatic sunset

Lazy days at the beach

The rush of water & sand on my feet

Lovely brownstone houses
(because they remind of Sesame Street)

Garbage cans like this
(Oscar the Grouch, are you there?)

Pancakes for breakfast

Now, I have to pass the Premium Meme Award to seven other blogs with notable personality. I've picked these blogs because of their power to turn something simple into something special:

scissor variations
such pretty things
lovely design
craftynest
record the day
a field journal
cottage


Have a great weekend everyone!
