"Tis the Season!"...well, almost!

(edited with Kim's 99 texture, lighten, 20% opacity, and just a light touch of PicMonkey's dusk)

Since we're using a friend's vacation home for Thanksgiving, 

I went ahead and decorated our house for Christmas,

(all but the tree, since we get a real one).

I usually start decorating the Saturday after Thanksgiving, 

but we'll be traveling home that day.

It will be nice to have the decorating all done, 

well, except for the little changes here and there I'll inevitably do.

It will be relaxing to be away from home for the holiday,

but it was quite a challenge to pack up everything needed to make Thanksgiving dinner away from home.

I had to make my list and check it twice!

I hope you enjoy the photos of some little things around my home.

I thought it would be fun to edit the pictures as though I was going to use them for a Christmas card.

I hope each of you have a blessed Thanksgiving spent with friends and family,

good food, much fun and laughter, and a heart full of gratitude.

Still following,
