Thanksgiving Mantel

Now that Halloween has passed, I took down my spooky chalkboard bottles and black rat from the mantel.

It's not exactly back to the way it was for my early fall mantel.

Here's how it looked for Halloween.

and early fall.

Look what I won!

I actually won a giveaway and look what I won!  This adorable pillow handmade by Gwen at Gwenny Penny.  It fits in great with my fall decor and even my everyday furnishings. Plus it has an acorn right in the middle! I love acorns!

Have you won any giveaways?

Shutterfly for the holidays

I'm one of those people who still gets photos printed out and put into albums. I love digital photography and viewing my photos on the computer but there's something about an actual photograph that I still must have.  I've used Shutterfly for years to upload and print out my photos.  I've also used them for our holiday cards.

I always stress over my cards, getting right photo and then deciding which card to choose. It's nice to be able to preview what your card will look like before ordering it.You can spend hours 'playing' on the site. Here are a few of the cards I'm scoping out this year.

They make it easy to coordinate it all with matching address labels for a lot of their cards.

I've always been pleased with their quality and customer service and the cards usually arrive very quickly!

I'm receiving 50 free cards from Shutterfly for letting you know about my experience with them. To find out how you can also receive 50 free cards from Shutterfly, click here.

Turkey Pumpkin

What to do with pumpkins after Halloween?

I always keep one pumpkin un-carved so I can make turkey pumpkin.

Start with a pumpkin or a funkin.  I brought mine in and cleaned it up.

Make starter holes with a screwdriver and insert turkey feathers and head. I don't remember where I got this kit (sorry).  I'm sure a lot of you crafty types could make it yourself.

Take outside to spruce up your porch.  Sprinkle some leaves around your freshly swept porch to make it look more realistic.(ha!)

How are you decorating for Thanksgiving?
