Hi sweet folks! My apologies for being MIA this week! I’ve been in pre-Christmas panic mode ever since we got back from our Thanksgiving trip. My goal was to have all gifts purchased, wrapped, and under the tree by November 30. Well, that didn’t happen, but I’m on it! I’ve also been doing a little decorating so that I can share pictures with you all. Yesterday in my Instagram story, I made a boxwood wreath. I was blown away by all of your sweet comments. You requested a tutorial and I promise to share one soon. Look for lots of fresh content soon! Happy weekend!
Out & About – In keeping with small business Saturday, I hit up a favorite local store called Hudson’s Hill. They make amazing custom leather goods from remnants and I ordered coasters and a tray for gifts.
Podcast – Dr. Joe Dispenza, Making Your Mind Matter. I love listening to anything that encourages me to be a better person inside & out and found lots of great information in this podcast.
Beauty Hack – My sister in law is the most gracious hostess! She left a basket of the best girlie goodies in my room when I visited last weekend. I don’t know where these things have been all my life, but I can’t live without ’em now! I’ll be sharing more of my newly discovered favorites soon.
Gratitude – Over Thanksgiving, we spoke a lot about gratitude. I do try to start every day with a grateful heart and feel like it sets the tone for the day. A family member shared this website with me and I signed up for the “word of the day”. Here is one that stuck with me: “I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.” Maya Angelou
Christmas Decor – We used fairy lights on the live garland that ran down the center of the Thanksgiving table and it was beautiful! I immediately ordered some when I got home and have added them all around the house for a little extra Christmas sparkle.
Watched – I’ve heard so much about the new Dolly Parton series, Heartstrings. I watched the first episode out of curiosity because I love the song, Jolene. I’ll be honest, it was just okay for me, but I still love Dolly.
Listening – Last weekend a few of us went to Flat Iron for another night of great music. I’m telling you, when it comes to musical talent, Greensboro has it going on!
