Hello Everyone!
Well, it's finally here! Thanksgiving week is upon us. I didn't realize how late it was this year. It's already less than a month till Christmas! Mercy, it's here fast this year. I normally NEVER begin decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving because I prefer to enjoy one holiday at a time, but since I wasn't hosting this year and Thanksgiving is late this year, I caved! I will still wait to put up the tree and decorate the outside of the house afterwards, but I have begun other areas of the house. I've been able to take my time and enjoy the process without feeling like I'm up against a deadline too, which is nice.
My paper whites are slowly growing and it's fun to see how much taller they are every day.
I've chosen a more rustic country theme to decorate the holidays with this year.
Lots of red and white, greenery and pine cones and even a touch of plaid.
It's really helping to warm up the house with all the unpleasant weather we're having today too. Are you having cold rainy weather at your house too?
I will start baking some chocolate pies tomorrow and then a sweet potato casserole to take to my nieces house on Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to having a good meal and seeing my family.
Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving (and keep warm)!

I can't wait to see all your Christmas decorations! I'm itching to start pulling out all my decor, but we're hosting Thanksgiving, so I'll try to wait until Friday. Tomorrow is my big baking day. My hubby is off and we're both going to be fighting for oven space since he's baking a couple of pies too. :) Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
I have to get busy with my paperwhites, love your big galvanized container, perfect!!!
love those paper whites Kelly!!! LOVELY
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Kelly. Enjoy the peace and blessings of the day.

It's looking so pretty, Kelly. snowing here tonight. xo Laura
Love the soft white with pops of red. It has rained here all day and we have been sitting by a cozy fire. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Olive
I love paperwhitea and usually get them in January on sale...something about the white and the snow!! Love your container!! I have a white amaryllis that is growing by leaps and bounds so I hope it's just perfect for Christmas.
Your decorations look perfect so far! I love plaid and thought about it for my family room which is all white slip covered. Not sure yet. I can't wait to get started but it will be next week at the earliest.
Happy Thanksgiving, sweet friend! :)
XO,

Like you, I like to take it one holiday at a time. But, man oh man, do I get stressed when my neighbors' houses are already lit up! I haven't even begun to think about Christmas decorating yet. Your decor is looking lovely. I'm liking the rustic look you're going with.
Luckily, we're only dealing with cold weather. My husband and son are driving home from Nashville tomorrow, and I'm hoping it doesn't get too bad for them. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Kelly! Chocolate pie sounds divine :)
I love your red gingham ribbon. Is it printed on burlap? It looks so cute. Thanksgiving is late this year but I will just take it one room at a time. Your stuff is looking great so far.
Kelly...I did the same thing and started decorating, because Thanksgiving is at my oldest daughter's home this year. Plus my show is this Friday thru Sunday and I'm so wore out after the show. I've enjoyed taking breaks from crafting and doing a little decorating.
Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving.
hugs,
Cindy
Happy thanksgiving Kelly! I am still in fall mode around here, but once the turkey is carved it will be game on. Love what you have already done. Have a marvelous and blessed day with family! Jane
Love the red and white...Happy Thanksgiving to you too Kelly!
Love the Christmas touches. I don't like when Thanksgiving is this late. I enjoy both so much that I feel so rushed. Next year in our new home paperwhites are going to happen for sure!! Happy Thanksgiving.
Cynthia
Happy Thanksgiving, Kelly! I'm thankful for your lovely blog!
This is the first year I haven't done either paperwhites or an amaryllis. :(
I'm the same way as you about decorating. I didn't even go out of the house today, since it was so cold and windy, but I did do a little decorating. Looking forward to seeing your tree. I really like the red and white gingham ribbon and your rustic things.
Happy Thanksgiving, sweet blogger friend!! You know I love everything you do!!
I never did get around to planting paperwhites, but there's always next year, right? I can't wait to see the changes you make in your Christmas decor this year. I'm loving the pops of red!
Happy Thanksgiving, Kelly!
Love the sweet homey touches on a cold and rainy day. Baking just makes it perfect! Hope you have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.
Hugs,
Patti
