0 · Nov 29, 2010 · 6 Comments

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a wonderful weekend of shopping and planning for Christmas!! We are super busy with all kinds of things up our sleeves, but in the mean time I thought I would share some inspiration.

I discovered this amazing table the other day at Anders Ruff Custom Design via Pizzazzerie…

I love everything about this table, the colors, the handmade elements, the patterns and textures…

Maureen and Adria are the talented ladies behind Anders Ruff Custom Design. Aren’t they amazing? You can purchase all of the printables from this table at their Etsy shop, Anders Ruff Custom Design.

{Guest} Not Just a Housewife

Hi, today we are joined with Stacy from Not just a Housewife. She has a blog with great ideas and inspiration. Here’s an introduction to her blog in her own words:

Hi! I’m Stacy from Not JUST A Housewife, and I am so HAPPY to be posting here at WhipperBerry! What a wonderful site. I love looking through all their ideas! I am a stay at home mom to four little boys and I love it! It is definitely an adventure and they keep me plenty busy, but I think it’s important to take time for myself and to have hobbies. Otherwise I just might go insane! Here are some of the things you can see at my blog.

I recently refinished this antique desk. You should see what it looked like before! I have a tutorial on how I did it HERE.

With four busy boys I am always looking for fun activities to do with my kids. One rainy day we painted giant sugar cookies with a food coloring mixture. Come check out the other kid activities on my site!

If I can’t find the right fabric I just paint my own!

See how I fixed up our old bathroom for around $75.00!

I {heart} power tools. I love to build things. It is easier than you might think. Check out my tutorial on making these shadowbox shelves.

I even attempt to sew. . . sometimes. Here is what I call a Soap Buddy. It’s a terry cloth pocket that Velcros shut. Put your bar of soap inside and get your kids clean!

Thank you ladies for letting me post here today! Come and visit me sometime at Not JUST a Housewife 🙂

Isn’t Stacy fun? Go pay her a visit and tell her you saw her on WhipperBerry!

{Round-Up} Thanksgiving Goodies

Just in case you are still looking for some last minute Thanksgiving inspiration, here are a few goodies that I have found…

Spiced Brown Sugar Cut-Out Cookies from Annie’s Eats. These look and sound lovely!! I can’t wait to try her variation on the basic sugar cookie.

Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE glass in any form, but I especially love bottles. This would be a fabulous addition to a Thanksgiving table-scape, thanks to The Nester at the Nesting Place.
