~Christmas Cookie idea~

I know, I know, I am doing a post about about Christmas cookies on November 8th but I saw this idea on pinterest and thought it was soooo great I just had to share...

All you do is make up a batch of your favorite cookie dough, wrap in parchment then print the recipe and attach to the parchment, tie pretty ribbon on the ends.  Voila, an adorable gift for the holidays!!!

~November Quote~

I just saw this beautiful quote for November that you can download for free from one of my favorite blogs.
Go to the blog:  "Dear Lillie" here and download the quote!

Don't you love the frame too!

I love it for your Thanksgiving decor and enjoy cruising around "Dear Lillie".  This blog is fantastic...

~Tricks or Treats~

Here is a little example of Halloween night at our house.  This included a number of 13 year old boys asking to trick or treat alone, a dog in a devil costume, who gets more comments on her costume then anyone else and the sweet 13 year old girls who just wanted candy!

~Halloween 2011~

I thought I would give a glimpse of Halloween 2011 in our house, starting with the entry way...

I don't love creepy Halloween as much as cute Halloween or maybe it should be called "classic" Halloween but I have a few creepy touches here and there!

Here's to a fun filled "Hallows Eve"

                                                       
                                                                                             

~Banners, Banners, Banners~

It's Banner time at my house.  I am selling these adorable banners at Hoot N Anny in Westlake Village, CA or if you  message me on the blog, I can get in touch with you and decide how you would like to make the transaction.

I will also be making banners for Christmas and the New Year!

I would love to hear some feedback on the banners or any other words you might want to see made into a banner.  Feel free to leave me a comment.  I love comments!!!

~Coffee Filter Wreath~

I absolutely love these coffee filter wreath's. They have been around the blog world for a while but I have yet to make one, so I am getting ready to get my glue gun out and start glueing.  It looks so easy.  Depending on your decor you can use natural colored coffee filters for that "Natural" look or white filters for that bright, clean look.  I love them both! Check out the tutorial here at the "Nesting Place" Blog.

Here is a beautiful sphere made of coffee filters!

And here is an adorable garland made with dyed coffee filters, love that!

I hope you all try these easy fun wreaths and have a fantastic weekend!

I have been searching for a great graphic print/picture for my family room, so far this is what I am leaning toward!
