Hiatus Over

So it's been a while since I posted. What can I say? I don't really have a good excuse. I wasn't backpacking across Europe, or working on any super exciting projects. Just staying busy with the usual stuff and also taking time to relax and enjoy my favorite season. But hopefully my little blog hiatus is over, and I can muster up the inspiration (and the time) to get back to semi-regular posting. With the holidays upon us, it shouldn't be too difficult to find some good blogging material :)

Speaking of, I'm getting awfully excited for Christmas. I haven't started shopping or decorating...I don't get my decorations out before Thanksgiving because it just feels wrong to me. I, however, have no problem listening to Christmas music mid-November. One of the STL stations is playing it already, non-stop, and I can't help myself! It just puts me in a better mood, especially the old classics. Bing, Dean, Frank, Johnny - I heart them all.

Back to Thanksgiving...I thought I'd share a great source for Thanksgiving art for any of you searching for some last minute decor for Turkey Day. I downloaded this print, from this generous blogger, after seeing it on Shannon's blog. I just printed it on my color printer, and it looks great in my most favorite white gallery frame from Target. I assume the quality would be even better if you printed it, or had it printed, on photo quality paper. This was good enough for me though. Here it is propped on my mantel.

So even though I only get to enjoy it for another week or so, I'm so grateful I found it (pun intended). I'll definitely be bringing it out year after year!

I hope to be back this weekend with photos and details from what I'm calling "Wreathfest 2010". This Saturday, I'm having a few friends over for a little wreath making brunch. I'm so glad my friends respond with enthusiasm to ideas like this one, as opposed to thinking I'm nuts. I guess they just know what to expect from me by now!
