Weekly Frills!

My weekly frills:

1. Crafting...
Using up some yarn to make a baby blanket to be gifted to a new baby joining our friends' family!


2. Creative Challenge...
Now that buying a house is becoming a reality, I'm trying to save some money and create with things that I already have.  With some extra yarn, buttons and Styrofoam balls, I'm going to see if I can whip up some holiday ornaments to give to friends and family this year.  Pictures to come next week!

3. Pinspiration of the week...
Pasta Carbonara for dinner!


4. Currently Blog Stalking... I Heart Organizing
With a new house on the horizon, I'm in love with all of the thoughts of organization and crafting that are to come!  Her blog is chock-full of great ideas on organizing, from the first steps to the detailed projects.

5. Drooling over...
How adorable is this necklace?!? 





Some things to add some frill to your week:

1. Eat...
It's hot cocoa time in MN! This link has some awesome ways to spice up your hot cocoa!
Hot Cocoa Twists

2. Create...
Give yourself a challenge!  Find something you don't use in the house and recreate it for yourself or as a gift! Have a vase that just sits in the cupboard?  Use it to hold Christmas bulbs for decoration, or wrap some ribbon around it and add some hot cocoa supplies to give as a festive Christmas gift!

3. Sparkle...
I recently purchased this little tree from Target and I want to go back and get the matching small one...I love the simple "glitz-and-glam" feel it gives to my living room!



Happy Thanksgiving week - may you and your families feel the spirit of the day through and through.

Peace -
