Our yearly friendsgiving celebration is this weekend! It’s become a tradition that I make a “give thanks” garland and each year I try to switch it up a little.

For any of you feeling that same responsibility to make use of all that glass (or just want to do something cool), try cutting it! Read More
This month I thought I was going to have soooo much to talk about and then realized that a few of the things actually happened at the start of November, so that’ll have to wait till next month’s recap because I like following the rules that I made for this series, oh well! October was still a helluva month!
