Thanksgiving Inspiration | Pincandy

3 · · 14 Comments

Almost eight years ago my family moved from Colorado to Nevada.  When we moved, we were leaving the comforts of home and family and braving the wilds of Las Vegas on our own.  A great adventure, but leaving family was hard.  Not having babysitters close by… a pain, but we could figure something out. The thing I missed the most were fun family holiday gatherings. For so many years I was under the impression that the magic of Thanksgiving and Christmas was truly MAGIC!  I was grossly mistaken!!! The MAGIC of the holidays is spelled… MOM!

Now that my Mom is hundreds of miles away, it's all up to me to create the magic for my family.  I have been gathering ideas for this year's Thanksgiving Feast and I thought I would share some of the goodies with you.  Whether you like to keep things classic and traditional or love to experiment with fun new ideas there is sure to be some great inspiration for you.

Silhouette Cameo Advent Calendar

188 · · 56 Comments

With Halloween over and a chill FINALLY making here to Las Vegas, it’s official… The holiday crafting season has begun!! One of the first things on the list, a new Advent Calendar for this year. 

The folks at Silhouette have come up with a genius Limited Edition Christmas Advent Calendar Kit designed specifically for your new Cameo or your Silhouette SD, the best of BOTH worlds!

I love this whole concept. You get the limited edition empty box from Silhouette along with a download card filled with all of the fabulous box styles that you can use to fill it. 

Then all you have to do is CREATE your very own!  What I love most about it, is that you can change it up every year to match your holiday mood.  I don’t know about you but…

I tend to vacillate between colors and styles every year. This year, I think… I am in a red and white rustic, elegant Christmas mood with a little old world flair.

DIY Halloween Trick-or-Treat Bags

I just realised that I never posted this DIY Trick-or-Treat bag that I made for a fun event over at Eighteen25 and thought I would share if you happened to miss it.  It's so easy and fun… you TOTALLY still have time to make some for your kiddos for the festivites coming up!

When I think of Halloween one of my favorite elements is coming up with a super cute Trick-or-Treat bag for my four kiddos.  Now in my day, the bag of choice was my pillow case becuase I tend to lean on the side of optimistic, or shall we say hopeful! But a pillow case is about as cute as a… well a pillow case!

This year I teamed up with Christene one of my contributors at WhipperBerry to create a super easy DIY Trick-or-Treat bag that is the perfect size and darn stickin' cute…
