Hello November! I welcome this season of warmth and coziness, and I make sure to spend some quiet time before the holiday season begins.
Oh the joy of autumn! I love to take long walks in the cool, crisp air and marvel at the red, orange, and yellow wardrobe of the trees around me. This time outdoors prompts me to collect leaves for crafting or to create a painting...TADA!
The U.S. elections happen this month (November 5). A gentle reminder to exercise this most solemn right to vote and make your voice heard.
November is also the month we celebrate Thanksgiving in the United States. Most of the time, I'll make pie -- apple or pumpkin are the runaway favorites...TADA!
And since we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving, let's really pause and count all the things in our life that we are grateful for. An attitude of gratitude always turns the "blah to TADA!"
November is the beginning of party season! Whenever my husband and I are invited to a friend's house, we always make sure that we're wearing nice socks. Sometimes they have a "no shoes in the home" policy and we're fine with that. Here are some of the socks in my collection: croissants! heart-shaped waffles! sunny side-up eggs! Aren't they cute? Shopping for socks (or getting them as presents) does turn my day from "blah to TADA!"
Speaking of parties, let's not forget the hostess gift. A few ideas include: a thoughtfully-wrapped pie server, a personalized gift basket, and handmade gift tags...TADA!
I wish you all a lovely November!
