25 November, 2013
Please Join Me for The Scoop #94
I'm so excited because it's almost time for my favorite holiday...Thanksgiving! It's the one time each year that my whole family gathers around the table and I count my blessings as our numbers in our little family grow with each new grandchild! I send my wishes for a wonderful holiday for you and yours, filled with everything and everyone that you love!
Welcome back to The Scoop
The weekly linky party featuring the scoop on the best posts from around the web!
More exposure + less time = win win!
Anita from Cedar Hill Farmhouse
Debbie from Confessions of a Plate Addict
Anne from White Lace Cottage
Barb from The Everyday Home
and Yvonne from StoneGable.
Our host this week is Debbie from Confessions of a Plate Addict.
Thanksgiving is nearly here and I am sure you are all preparing for that special day with your family, so we really appreciate your taking the time to join us here at The Scoop! It's been a busy time for all of us! Just in case you missed it, we hosted a blog tour giving you "the Scoop" on creating fall vignettes! You can find a summary with links to all of the beautiful fall goodness here.
And now we are very excited because we have a very special guest host joining us tonight...Christy from Our Southern Home! If you have never visited her blog, then you are in for a treat! I love her style! Be sure to head on over...and make yourself a cup of hot cocoa first because you will want to spend some time visiting with her. Now...here she is!
It's not too late to plan a fabulous Thanksgiving tablescape! From the amazing view to the beautiful linens, I am just smitten with what Mary from Home is Where the Boat Is has created. Note to self....be on the look out for a neutral, plaid throw!
Thanks so much for joining us, Christy!

I am so excited to be guest hosting The Scoop #94 with this amazing group of inspiring ladies! I've been a long time follower of this party even before the name change!
I just had the pleasure of participating in the very first The Scoop on Creating Fall Vignettes. I will also be in the upcoming The Scoop on a Handmade Christmas. Exciting!!!
Let's get to all the fun! There is just so much eye candy here this week that I am blown away! It was quite the challenge to pick just a few from The Scoop #93! You are a creative group!
It's not too late to plan a fabulous Thanksgiving tablescape! From the amazing view to the beautiful linens, I am just smitten with what Mary from Home is Where the Boat Is has created. Note to self....be on the look out for a neutral, plaid throw!
I am loving signs right now. Making your own is such an affordable way to decorate your home. Krista from The Happy Housie has a great, easy to follow tutorial. The entire TV vignette area is fab!
Cindy from DIY Beautify has inspired me in a big way! Her Piano Room Reveal on a budget is full of ideas and inspiration. Aren't those slip-covered chairs beautiful? I am now ready to try my hand at sewing slip covers! Thanks, Cindy!
I love to cook and this looks so yummy! I am all about one-dish meals during the school year. I know my family will love this pasta dish from Nici from Posed Perfection.
I have been wanting to make these for a while from our old sweaters. Diane from An Extraordinary Day has a wonderful tutorial. The one pictured here is just beautiful! Use your own old sweaters or go check out your local thrift store!
Hosting The Scoop was such fun! Thanks for all of your wonderful ideas and for linking up! I'd love for you to visit me at Our Southern Home. I'll be sharing lots of holiday inspiration on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. Come join me as we celebrate the upcoming holiday season. I wish you all a beautiful Thanksgiving!

Christmas Inspiration...Wreaths, Stockings, Ornaments and More!
Christmas is just around the corner and my house is an explosion of garlands, candles and ornaments...not to mention the pumpkins that are on their way out and a scattering of grandchildren’s toys mixed in! Yes...it’s time to deck the halls...or at least start thinking about it! So I was excited to see some wonderful Christmas inspiration in The Scoop this week! 
Do you make your own stockings? Then I have several wonderful tutorials for you! This one from Remodelando la Casa stars stockings made from sweaters topped with a white faux fur cuff! 
Here’s another version of a sweater stocking from An Extraordinary Day! Love the cable knit! 
Now for some pretty wreaths! Cottage in the Oaks shares one made from tufted wool! 
Echoes of Laughter reworked an existing wreath to create this festive beauty! 
The hardware stores will all wonder what happened to their paint stick supply once everyone sees these great wreaths from Rain on a Tin Roof! 
I love the sheet music bow in this one from Refresh Renew…made from sheet music wrapping paper! Gotta find me some of that! She has another version of a sheet music wreath as well, so be sure to check it out, too! 
And here’s one from Vintage Paint and more… using old book pages! Love it! 
This one from DIY Beautify looks very French to me since they seem to use pastels rather than our traditional red and green at Christmas! So soft and elegant!
And now…how about some Advent calendars? There’s still plenty of time to have yours ready by December 1st! This one from Just Us Four is classy and simple!
How fun is this one from Finding Home! It’s burlap and it’s no-sew…a great combination! 
Echoes of Laughter added a chevron stencil to these purchased muslin bags to create her Advent calendar...fun!
And here’s one from uncommon designs featuring little tree-topped mini paper mâché boxes…clever! 
Now…how about some ornaments! Love these pretty burned wood ornaments…also from uncommon designs…unique! 
How’s this for a wonderful keepsake ornament from Posed Perfection…such a pretty and unique way to preserve the wedding program for a newly-wed couple!
And here’s another fun idea for a keepsake ornament for a graduate from My Wonderfully Made...love this idea! 
Aren’t these pretty? The Happy Housie shares her tutorial for making these opaque glass ornaments.
What a fun idea…and so easy! Denise on a Whim made her snowman ornaments from scrap wood! 
Here’s another fun idea using book pages…Priscilla’s book page ornaments! Love the addition of the little chalkboards, too! 
Lots of Christmas inspiration is coming from Angie at Echoes of Laughter this week! She shows us how she made these cute paper straw ornaments as well! 
Paula at Sweet Pea shows us how she made these cute star ornaments finished off with one of my favorites…glittery Mod Podge! 
And I am sharing my burlap and plaid mantel from last year…with handmade stockings and a link to the tutorial plus a matching handmade wreath as well! You can get all the details here. I’m still finishing up this year’s and I can’t wait to show you!
Be sure to head on over to The Scoop to check out more wonderfully creative links! I am also featuring some of your links on my new Pinterest board Shared at The Scoop Linky Party and I have shared them on my blog's Facebook page. Be sure to come back Monday evening at 6:00 pm EST to join me for The Scoop!
