Wow! Thanksgiving weekend went by as a blur... I hardly stopped moving long enough to catch my breath....
As some of you guys know...I have had some major changes in my life the last few months. It was important for me to create some new traditions...Thanksgiving day I took a 2 hour long walk along the beach in Coronado... let me tell you.. it was a little slice of heaven. I went to have dinner with a few friends at a Veggie/Vegan restaurant and then spent the rest of the evening playing board games with Shanna...I ended the day just as I should..grateful for my bounty in life :)
Friday found me hanging out at the kitchen table of the wonderful Ms. Karin. We were busy little beavers working on projects for her booth at a holiday craft fair next weekend....I of course was the rogue designer (that you all know me to be) and she kept having to remind me to reign in my avant garde style and do as I was told :) Take a look at some of her AMAZING creations...

The crafting fun continued on Saturday as Karin and I headed over to hang with the hostess with the mostest Michelle at her Paper Tales store. A Christmas open house was on the menu and we gorged ourselves with cookies, glitter and ribbons, talks about our fav reality shows and then of course more cookies!!!
Yesterday it was up to Ramona (my small hometown..before I became a big city girl) for a hike and an amazing lunch with two of my oldest friends Lisa and her mom Kate... we made ourselves go for a super long walk so we could scarf up a delicious lunch as we hung around in the garden... Kate has the most amazing begonvilla growing and a cool collection of yard creatures hidden all over the place....
Soooo we are all caught up with me.. what did y'all do?

So glad that you had a great Thanksgiving! Making new traditions can be scary but so rewarding! Love all the yummy pics and looks like you girls had a blast creating! Thanks for your wonderful comments, they always make me smile. I got the tree up and some handmade gifts, just need to take some photos! Have a great week, sweet friend!

Sounds you had an amazing weekend with lots of friends!! Lucky you!! We don't celebrate thanksgiving but we celebrate "Sinterklaas" (a sort of Dutch version of Santa Claus) from the day he arrives in The Netherlands (15 November) until he leaves (6 December). This weekend there was a Sinterklaas at Patricks work so we've been there. On the 5th of December is Sinterklaas' birthday and then we celebrate for real. The day after he returns to Spain....at least so the kids think and then we start the Xmas festivities!! Have a nice day and talk soon!
Sounds (and looks) like heaven...
Wish I had creative crafty friends like you*!*
oh my friend! So good to hear you had a fabulous time!!! great pics and I am still jealous for the fantastic weather! We had some snow storms in our area this week... now its all wet and grey and cold again :-(
unfortunately we don´t have Thanksgiving in Germany, but Christmas is coming closer and closer! :-)
Hugs
