Happy Thanksgiving

I am thankful to finally post again!!! Where the dickens have I been??? Doing some of this and some of that, reading books and magazines, shopping for Thanksgiving dinner and going crazy at work with lots of deadlines with everything due at the same time! Ugh!!! I am happy to be back and I have sooo much to say, so many pictures to share, so many things that have happened that I need to write about.

It was such fun to set my table for Thanksgiving dinner. I bought a new gold damask tablecloth yesterday. I love the way my table turned out.

We had a small group this year, but what was nice is that we all fit at the table. Usually we have the kids sitting around a separate table in the living room. That's what one has to do when they live in a small place, yet still love to entertain.

Rachel made adorable place cards. The inside says, "Gobble Gobble".

And the food didn't look too bad either.

I also made the Friendship Cookies that were shared by Joanne Kennedy from My Little Cottage in the Making. They were so good, I had to make a double batch because everyone really made a dent in the first batch. I made one adjustment - switched the chocolate chips for cinnamon chips (whoever knew there was such a thing??) They were a HUGE hit!!

I just have to share my most recent purchase. I bought this lamp recently through JC Penney's. This lamp is only available online and I just loved the picture they showed of it. It took me about half a second to decide I had to have it, but was very dismayed when it was backordered for over a month. It just came last week and I am so happy with it.

Thanks for staying with me during my little hiatus. I totally flunked out of NaBloPoMo, but I had good intentions initially. I'm anxious to share lots of info, so stay tuned. It's amazing how much can happen in a couple of weeks.

Happy Thanksigivng one and all!!
