I just adore this time of year and all the creativity that it brings out in people. Recently I fell in love with this simple ribbon star from Beyond the Picket Fence…

Friday Flair Features and a Silhouette Winner

2 · Nov 26, 2012 · 14 Comments

Wowza… I think I have a bit of a Thanksgiving travel hangover. We traveled to Colorado to visit our families for the holiday and had a ball, but I’m running a little slow this Monday morning post holiday. We had fun finding vintage treasures at Great Grandma’s house, playing with cousins, shopping and of course getting into the Christmas spirit with some ice skating at our favorite outside rink The Cube at The Streets at Southglenn in Centennial Colorado. Here’s a little snap shot of our fun from Instagram…

I was also excited to shop at my favorite little shop in Centennial… Old Glory Antiques. That’s where I found my baskets for my DIY Cage Pendant Lights a few months ago. I adore that shop! Dropped a little bit of change there for Small Business Saturday!

Now, for a little business before we ooooh and ahhhh over some of the talented entries from Friday Flair for the last two weeks. Yep, I’m a little behind… (you can always see some of the fabulous posts on my Friday Flair Pinterest board when ever you like.)

Make Thanksgiving Easy with McCormick Turkey Gravy // plus Friday Flair

6 · Nov 15, 2012 · 124 Comments

The big day is almost here my friends! Have you made your shopping lists? Have you bought your turkey and all the fixin’s? I remember back when I was first married, the idea of hosting a Thanksgiving sent shivers down my back. I guess that would be a testament to the wonderful Thanksgiving feasts that my Mom hosted when I was growing up. The crown jewel of the meal was always the gravy and I was terrified to follow in my Mother’s footsteps. That is until I found McCormick Turkey Gravy.

As a child of the Martha Stewart era, the idea of using a packet just wasn’t acceptable in my eyes. That was until I tried McCormick’s Turkey Gravy. My thought at that point… why on earth have I been making this so hard on myself.

McCormick’s gravy turns out PERFECT every time. No worrying about lumps or the gravy being under seasoned or worst yet, over seasoned. You can even give it your little signature by adding “secret” ingredients like a pinch of rubbed sage, poultry seasoning, or a hit of dried thyme. I even like to add a splash of white wine or sherry to mine to give it the WhipperBerry touch. You can get even more ideas by joining the conversation over at McCormick’s Facebook page.

The McCormick company has taken the perfect blend of seasonings and all natural ingredients to create this fabulous addition to your Thanksgiving table. The generous folks at McCormick would like to help to dress-up your Holidays by offering a fun Giveaway for this week’s Friday Flair link party!
