Our thanksgiving festivities. Christmas decorations were put up today and the tree tomorrow!
Thanksgiving we had fun at the playground as we waited for dinner, then went bowling with Shawn's family before supper. We spent some time on google hangout with family far away. It was a wonderful day. Looking forward to Christmas when we will all be together. I have a new fondness for the song ' I'll be home for Christmas ' :)

Today has been a busy day

It has been a very busy day in the Zwiers House.
 
One of our local thrift shops just put out all their Christmas stuff so I had to stop by. I found this cute Santa decoration and vintage ordament.
I also found this star that will go perfect in my kitched to hold my aprons. And then I found the tree star which I just love! It has a small broken spot but its on the back and our tree goes in the corner, so perfect for me! Can't wait to put up our tree!
This I am super excited about! I found this frame from a thrift store and it was really ugly with a terrible picture in it. I spray painted the frame Expresso brown, bought a new matte, and then printed a picture I took while up north on Macinaw Island.
I finished this project and got all the way to pushing the little tabs down on the back of the frame and then...crack...I cracked the corner of the glass. So, not today or anytime soon I will be going out to get new glass for my frame. either way I am still excited about it!
 
I also did a fun chalk board frame but that will be posted once we take our Christmas pictures.

Our week!

Prepping pumpkins for my pumpkin pie!
Shawn turned 28 this week.
We used power tools to carve our pumpkins this year. Shawn was all about it and informed me we will be doing that every year.
It was closing day for the cottage this past weekend. Summer was great, lots of fun time spent on the beach!
Our pumpkins. Mine was "Stary Night" and Shawn did "Transformers."
My favorite candle, Yankee Candle Co. Pumpkin Spice. I finally burned it down so far it wouldn't light anymore, very sad, but there was still wax left. So I melted the candle and poured it into a new container and added a new wick. and there you have it. I am so glad cause after looking in multiple stores I still can't find a new one.
