Confession

I have to admit....I love Black Friday. I look forward to getting up before the sun waiting in line...in the cold just to snatch up the door buster deals. Call me crazy but there is something exciting about the day after Thanksgiving. It is also entertaining to see people get so excited over socks while in their pajamas.

No I do not wear my pajamas shopping!

Before and After

Inspired by Design*Sponge weekly before and after pics. Here is my own before and after. Keep in mind there was zero budget and I would still like to fix a few things. For now half of the unfinished basement is much more user friendly.

BEFORE

AFTER

Saturday Afternoon

We are currently in the process of organizing a part of the basement into separate working zones. Laundry, drafting, wrapping/craft areas. It is a slow process as there seems to be less energy during the week to finish this project. Today I did find time to organize my mess of ribbon, wrapping paper, boxes and tissue. Since all my ribbon is loose I used old boxes and cut small holes on the side to thread the ribbon through. Keeping all the colors organized and with in easy reach.

Center of Attention

With Thanksgiving approaching I thought I would share a few center piece ideas. I really like the idea of taking things right from the garden and using them on the table.

Hello November

The Halloween Party was a success except that I forgot to snap photos of the set up. I leave you with the first sunset of November. Wow November already.....let the Holiday Madness begin.
