Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Happy Tuesday! Can you believe that it is the last day of November? Yikes, Christmas is only 25 days away. I am done with my shopping but still have to pick up a couple of things for the Angel Tree ones.

Coming home from zumba class last night, just as I got the the outskirts of our small town, I saw all of these police cars and other vehicles coming on the other side. They had an ambulance, fire trucks and a flatbed with a sleigh on it with Mr and Mrs Claus sitting there. I rolled my window and said Merry Christmas and they said it back. It was so cute. I guess it had come through the town and was heading out to other parts. It was a lovely surprise.

I hope you have a great week ahead.

You're The Star - Extra Feature Week

Welcome to You're The Star - Extra Feature Week

Happy Monday. Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving weekend. If you were traveling, I hope you are home safe. I brought all of my Christmas decorations down from the attic. We decorated the outside and put up the tree. We have a new tree this year and it is 9 feet tall. Yikes! I was way up on the ladder, trying to put the topper on.

I got out Christmas pillows and started on some centerpieces. Hubby is heading to Miami tomorrow so I will be decorating all day. Did you start to decorate for Christmas or are you done?

WELCOME to the November 2021 "You're the Star" Blog Hop!

Happy Sunday! I hope your weekend is going great. I got out my Christmas decorations and we decorated the outside. We did put the tree up. We have an artificial one.

Today I will start the inside. I did work on new wreaths for my front door. They are not finished yet, but that is what I am working on today as well.

I am so in the Christmas spirit. There is something about those Christmas lights that gets me in the mood. Are you getting ready for Christmas?

With Thanksgiving over, it is time to focus on Christmas. So I choose Christmas features this week. I hope you enjoy them.

You're The Star - Home Feature Week

Happy Monday! I hope you had a lovely weekend. Mine was a little busy. Do you have those days when you are looking for something and you can't find it. I have 4 scrabble games and I wanted the tiles for a Christmas project. I hunted everywhere and then finally in a container there they were. I got rid of the games and just kept the tiles.

Are you getting ready for Thanksgiving? I have everything bought and just have to make it now.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving if you are in the U.S. Have a great week.

Thursday Favorite Things Party

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

Happy Thursday! Well, it has been a week and I am heading back home. It was a wonderful week with my Mom and sister. My Mom did not want me to leave. I felt so bad saying goodbye, since I am not sure when I will see her again. Living so far away is difficult.

One week from today is Thanksgiving. Are you getting ready? I had most of my ingredients purchased except for some fresh items. I am so looking forward to spending some time enjoying time with family. Mostly hubbies family but also my daughter.

Are you cooking or are you traveling? I do hope you have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving.

I had to pick this Toadstool Painting from our very own Katie. She gives a complete tutorial on how to make one yourself. I must admit that she makes it seem easy. I would definitely try this, but I am certain, mine would not look like Katie's.

I harvested a lot of lavender this fall and now I have plenty of ideas for things to make with the lavender. Stop by and see all 7 ideas for lavender.

This Spiral Apple Bread has me drooling. I think I could eat the whole thing. I can almost smell those apples. Stop by Trick and Treat to get the recipe and make one yourself.

Are these Turkey Napkins just so adorable? Our very own Linda, from a Labor of Love teaches you how to make these special napkins that you can use for your table. You will amaze everyone I am sure.

How about a delicious dessert to have after your Thanksgiving meal? These Pumpkin Toffee Bars would be a great dessert treat that everyone would love. Stop by the Lou Lou Girls for the recipe.

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

Happy Thursday! Well, here I am driving up to Pittsburgh, PA. My sister's husband's Dad died yesterday. It has been a rough couple of months. At least I will be able to check on my Mom. She is so excited that I am coming.

I don't mind driving when it there is lots of sunlight but since the clocks were turned back, I will be driving in a lot more darkness that I would like. I just hope it doesn't rain. The roads are black enough without rain at night.

I will try to get to comments later in the weekend.

Welcome to You're the Star - Creative Feature Week

Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Ours was very nice although quite cool. We have never had our furnace on in November here in Florida, but we did this year. We tried not to put it on, but my hands were like nice. Yikes, I needed heat.

I guess it is getting me ready for my trip to Pittsburgh later in the week. I know it has been cold up there.

Well, have a lovely week ahead.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Party

Happy November. Can you believe that it is November already? I hope you remembered to turn your clocks back (if you do that). I always hate this time of year. It gets dark so early. it seems to make the nights so long. My son lives in Vermont, and it gets dark around 4:30. That is really early. Do you like the time change?

Halloween is over and we are moving onto Thanksgiving (if you celebrate it) That usually means great recipes, lovely tablesettings, decor and pumpkin ideas. With that in mind, I picked some fall and Thanksgiving ideas. On to the features:

Welcome to November and another Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop! I am so glad you are here. It's hard to believe that October is already over and we are now into November.

I'm wondering just how many people are ready to break out their winter/Christmas decor and how many are wanting to hold onto their fall decor as long as possible?

Welcome to You're The Star - Garden Feature Week

Happy Monday and welcome to November. Can you believe it? Only 24 more days until thanksgiving and 54 more days until Christmas. Yikes, I can't even think about Christmas yet.

I actually did put together my Thanksgiving menu and have bought some of the ingredients. I am heading to Pittsburgh in a couple of weeks to see my Mom before the holidays. So I have been planning my Thanksgiving menu since I will return the week of Thanksgiving.

Are you getting ready for Thanksgiving or maybe Christmas? Making any new recipes this year? Hope you have a great week.
