With Christmas just a few days away I was thrilled to finally discover these socks I designed at the Hallmark store! For those who know me well, I often wear silly socks and when I was working on this project I couldn't wait to see them in real life. Hopefully you are enjoying the last few busy days before December 25th!

November Around The Web
As November comes to a close, Christmas is just around the corner! This month I fell in love with The House That Lars Built's new wrapping paper line with Alexis Mattox Design. Wrapping gifts is one of my favorite parts of preparing for Christmas, and this year I just might have to expand past the traditional Christmas papers and include some of her designs! Here are a few other gems I discovered this month:

Thanksgiving Snapshots
I couldn't resist sharing a few quick snapshots from Thanksgiving. I'm grateful for time with family, traditions & pumpkin roll — among other things. This year Dale and I carried on the tradition of three family meals on Thanksgiving day. Although we always eat way too much, I wouldn't change getting to spend time with both of our families. This year I was also able to put my pointed pen workshop skills to good use and created some name tags for our brunch! I hope your weekend was filled with family & friends, food and fond memories.
“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.”
Favorite Thanksgiving Inspiration
I can hardly believe Thanksgiving is less than a week away! Each year we celebrate with both my family and my husband's family on the same day, which is always hectic and wonderful. This year I will also be going to a Friendsgiving celebration the weekend after! Here is what has me inspired for this year's tabletops:
