This month's Pinterest challenge was all about Thanksgiving and while I don't typically do much extra decorating for the holiday I did see this cute Give Thanks banner that I thought would add a really nice touch to our fireplace.
While the link leads to a free printable version I knew I could easily whip up something cute and quick on my Cricut.
Using Cricut Sans I made my letters in all caps adjusting them all to be around 2" tall. Using a free banner image sized to 3" wide and 4" tall I cut out 6 each in orange and green (this gave me one extra banner but allowed me to cut them all out in just 2 full sheets/cuts).
Once I had everything cut, I laid out my design and glued the letters in place using rubber cement.
After the letters were glued on, I added small holes in the corner of each card to hang them by.
I threaded some ribbon through and then hung it on the mantle before making sure the letters were perfectly spaced.

We bought so much on Amazon during November and December for Christmas that I could not possibly share it all but I thought I would share a few of the highlights-- a few of our favorites gifts that we gave and received too. My new jewelry cabinet/mirror. I bought Alec this Bread making book and we can't wait to try out all the different bread recipes! We used this handy cookie cutter set to make our own sugar cookie house this year. While I can't way it is the best set on the market it certainly got the job done! Alec and I spent an afternoon putting a few vinyl cling snowflake s in all our living room & dining room windows and it added such a fun little touch for winter. My husband loves his meat hooks ; so far we've used them on pulled pork and I hope to make some pulled chicken next week. I got a new booklight after mine broke and I really like that it's rechargeable. We're planning on making hot cocoa bombs and bought this mold pan . I found Al
I have a LONG list of favorites for you today! Not having posted any sort of favorites post since December 18th I tried to keep this list short and sweet. Next week I'll switch back to my old Friday Favorites format where I give a little wrap up of our week but here are some of our favorite moments and highlights of the past few weeks: 1. We finally got to try out our new show shoes! We had the best time hiking some of our favorite trails at Pulaski park. The woods are so pretty with all the snow clinging to the trees. 2. Alec finished up his school with a 1/2 day on Wednesday and we got right to baking. He made Heath bar/eggnog cheesecakes, buttery fresh croissants, and butterscotch truffles. It was all so delicious! We enjoyed so much wonderful food the whole Christmas season. 3. We spent a really fun Christmas eve at my mom's opening gifts, playing games, eating pizza, and visiting with family. 4. We were so thankful to still have power when we woke up Christmas morni
We had a pretty good week and I managed to get quite a bit done around the house. We're slowly getting back into a routine after the holidays. Alec was still attending school virtually on Friday but we learned that his school would be switching to a hybrid schedule come Monday! That was great news as it puts him the school for another cooking project. We got the whole downstairs cleaned between his classes and the boys' school work and spent a relaxing afternoon playing ping pong in the basement. I spent most of my day on Saturday reading, working on the blog, cleaning up some clutter around the house. I washed windows and ordered some new curtains for a few of the rooms downstairs. In the late afternoon my husband and I went grocery shopping at both Bj's and Stop & Shop. We came home, put food away, and invited my mother in law over for dinner- we had ribeye steaks, baked potatoes, roasted asparagus, and salad. We ended our night watching a few new episode
