My Favorite Things

 Hello everyone!!
I thought I would give you all a list of my ten favorite things and products right now. Let me know what you think!

1.  Toby Mac's new album has more of a pop style to it and is very upbeat. Love the first song "Without You"

                      

2.  Eco Tools are my favorite makeup brushes to use right now. The handles are made from bamboo and the bristles are synthetic Taklon, so no harm to animals. They are super soft, inexpensive and easy to use. You can get them at Wal-Mart. 

                                    



3. Favorite quote right now is:  "If I get married I want to be very married." - Audrey Hepburn   :)


                                        


4. American Eagle is my favorite place to shop.



5. I love all kinds of food! But what really makes my mouth water is a burrito enchilada style from Mexican Villa!!

                                                              


6.  I have so many good books. Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual is a really good book if you are looking for tips on makeup and beauty. 


                                


7.  Favorite scarf 

                                                       


8. Owls. Anything owl right now is great! I love them and think they are so cute!

                                                                           



9.  This Scripture has really encouraged me lately and helped me to remember God is in control.

Jeremiah 29:11-13

New International Version (NIV)

¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ¹² Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. ¹³ You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

  

10. Journalism is a great way to vent your thoughts and feelings, keep special things in and write down things to remember years from now. My favorite kind is leather.

Autumn and Thanksgiving Fun

    Thanksgiving is almost here. Time for turkey, dressing and green bean casserole. The smell of leaves and bonfires are in the air and being with loved ones for the holidays gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. 
   I love interior design and crafty things for the home. So here are a few ideas I have found that I thought were neat for parties and, or a family get together. 

  This first one is to use a cheese grater as a table display with a votive candle inside or an LED light. This idea is so cute and very vintage. You can find old cheese graters, round or square, at flea markets or on the internet. A tray with flowers or leaves as accents, will complete your table decor.

  I don't know whether you have a big family or a small one, but either way Thanksgiving name placement is definitely a must. Start by writing one of your guests names on a fresh or dried leaf using a sharpie. Then tie it to a cloth napkin with a printed ribbon. And TA-DA! 
                                          

    
    Another cute fall idea is pumpkin goodie bags! 

                 You can draw your own pumpkin on stock paper or get a stencil off the internet. Then color it and attach it to a colored goodie bag from your local party store or use a fall colored piece of cloth. Put your gift inside, whether its candy, cookies or a candle. Then tie it at the top with a piece of pipe-cleaner. 


 Whether you decide to use any of these ideas or you have some of your own, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and you fill up on some good tasty food!
