Thirty Days of Thanksgiving - Day 1

Welcome to Thirty Days of Thanksgiving! Each day in November I will be sharing at least one thing I am thankful for. It is a personal challenge that I started a couple of years ago to focus my mind and my heart on the good things in life.

Today I am thankful for:

• My fuzzy buddy, Pumpkin, who keeps me company when my hubbie is out of town
• Homemade Cinnamon Strudel Creamer in my coffee (Visit Deliciously Organic for the recipe)
• Cool Fall weather

Typical Cat - Turns his back when the camera is pointed at him :)

Thirty Days of Thanksgiving is also my way of participating in National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) where the challenge is to blog every day for a month.

Don't forget to check out the other TDOT participants in the blogroll on the left.

What are you thankful for?

I can't wait!

I'm so ready for fall! I've been telling myself that I need to wait until October to start decorating my house for fall, but I just can't wait!

A few weeks ago I came across an idea for an adorable project on The Swell Life for Candy Corn Vases so I bought my supplies and made my own version this past weekend.  I absolutely LOVE them and couldn't wait until October to put them on display.

It didn't help that on Monday I went to Trader Joe's and found pumpkins - big ones, little ones, mini ones!  The mini ones are oh so cute and go great with my Candy Corn Vases.

Yep, I'm definitely ready for Fall!

3. Knowing when I am going home - we finally got our flight date!!
4. Being able to speak enough Italian to ask for directions AND actually understand them
5. My husband finally having two days off in a row (its been weeks)
