Finally getting to the photos on my camera. This year I hosted Thanksgiving. I was happy to do it - although I hope to have everyone over again soon when the magnitude of the meal isn't so large.

I did love setting up the table. I made the place cards and couldn't resist the tiny Sweet Lady apples for the plate. The centerpiece has fresh cranberries and red-colored water with white spray roses. I loved it!

Overall, it went very well and I was thrilled to have everyone cuddled together in my little apartment. It meant the world to me to host this dinner.

wardrobe remix

I used to post my outfits on the flickr group 'wardrobe remix' almost daily. It was a fun way to inspire those that inspire me to look at my clothes in a new way. I have always been a little on the adventurous side. Even friends comment that I try things they never would - but I love that! Well, lately I've been enjoying getting ready in the morning again. I am taking more pride in myself and how I live. I'm excited by the boost in self-confidence I have found - most days at least ;)

Anyway - I decided this week to start photographing my outfits again. I am a creative person and I like to create things. I can't sew or cook or embroider every day - but I have to get dressed, so why not be creative and have fun with it.

These 2 outifts from this week aren't the most creative, but I like them and I have never worn these clothes in this way before. Needless to say - I am loving my boots lately!

Also, in the spirit of creativity and trying to not be a scrooge this Christmas, I got myself a tree. It's small and funny shaped, but it feels a little more like Christmas now. I still refuse to put up one lonely stocking on the mantle, but I'm taking baby steps and I feel good about the tree. I also love the smell after years of having a fake tree (wasn't my idea) :)
