I used my owl set from the Holiday mini to make a thank you card. I made the face of the owl dimensional by stamping it twice on crumb cake cardstock and trimming around the eyes and popping that part up with dimensionals. I paper pieced the belly by stamping that on Island Indigo cardstock and cutting out and piecing that part. I had to add the flag ends on the piece of designer paper because I'm all about the flags lately!
We put up the tree and most of the Christmas decorations this past weekend. It is tradition for us to do it Thanksgiving weekend as I know it is for lots of people. We didn't have our daughter helping us this year for the first time. *sniff*. She was busy packing in friend time during the Thanksgiving weekend. This was her first time seeing her high school friends since leaving for college.
The boys helped my husband assemble the tree. It's quite a process. They like to wear Santa hats as they work but they had to add their own special touches.
Doug just kept working on the tree.
I still have the railing to decorate and the basement. I have a lot of Christmas decorations so it takes awhile!
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends! Thanks for stopping by!
