Hello ladies, thanks so much for the comments on my Thanksgiving post which is below for any who want to see how our day went and some extra fun pictures. It's been feeling like December for a couple weeks now so today isn't that much of a surprise to me. It's been a great Thankful fall which is put me in a good place this holiday season. Can't wait to share it with you, my first for some of you.

 

I'm posting my Monday Mandala too, one that was made quite by accident and might amuse some of you. This was made by Sam and he didn't even realize it till I told him. Are you ready to see...

he was playing with his blocks from the JENGA game. I wanted to straighten out the blocks a little but he didn't want me too. It's a little crooked but the mandala is there and even a little house and stairs to it. Not sure what this was suppose to be but it kept him busy and quiet which is always a nice thing. Next week I will show you another fall mandala like last weeks. Thank you Dawn for inspiring and sharing this beautiful idea with us. Always a JOY to see yours and the fun from making it.

 

Hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready for their first week of December. Make time to sit and just soak in the holiday goodness around you. Keep it simple and only do what really makes you happy and have time for. Easier said then done I know but I'm giving it a try and hope you will too.

I will see you on Tuesday at Elizabeth's with a fun T time post!
