This Thankgiving was one of firsts.
First Thanksgiving with no extended family in attendance, first time to prepare a Thanksgiving meal all by ourselves, and the first time I got to do something crafty with my sweet friend Ashley!
My parents stayed in Arizona for Thanksgiving this year. It was a little sad no to have them here. Maybe it is time to start some traditions of our own!
My family, my sister and brother in law, and Ashley's family all got together. We even prepared the meal all by ourselves! No frantic last minute calls to moms or grandmas were made. We were pretty proud of ourselves! Ok, we did cheat a little...we ordered our stuffing from Fresh Market...it's so delish...I know I couldn't make it better!
After everyone was settled in to their post feast comas, Ashley and I went to work...making felted soap! They are so pretty, and it was so easy! We got the idea from Anthropologie. I bought Ashley some felted soap for her birthday. They smell amazing! She called me a few days later and said, "Dude, we can totally make these!" (And yes, she does say "dude" all the time!) They turned out just perfectly! We are going to use them as Christmas gifts.
All in all, it was a great holiday. I missed my family, and they missed me. The break went by far too quickly...but hey, it's only 3 weeks until Christmas Break!
So let's get to it! Have a great Monday!
