giving thanks

hello loves :)

it has been a while...

as you know from the last post i put up,

i hit in an inspiration slump...big time.

i seriously could not open up my computer for two weeks...

i needed a long, long time away.

i am slowly coming to & have been able to refresh my mind :)

i even got inspired to throw a friendsgiving dinner soirée last weekend!

{the photo above is just a preview ~ i will share more next week!}

okay...

well, with that said, i just want to give my thanks to all of you...

my lovely readers & bloggie friends :)

thank you so much for your support & understanding!

i have said it so many times and i will say it many more...

i am so grateful that i found my way into the blogging community.

i have met so many wonderful, smart & creative women

who inspire me daily!

thank you. thank you. thank you.

and on the note of thankfulness, i will list what i am most thankful for...

my AMAZING husband, my beautiful family, my awesome friends,

my sweet kitties, my health, my creative spirit & getting to call seattle home

these are just a few of the things i am feeling extra grateful for at the moment?

we will be spending thanksgiving with my husband's family this year

& i'll be cooking up a storm tomorrow morning...

bringing all sorts of goodies like butternut squash & cranberry sauce!

what are you feeling exceptionally thankful for today?

what do you have planned for the holiday?

i just need some time in a beautiful place...

hello, my loves!

i just wanted to pop in to let you know that i am still here...

but that i am just struggling through an uninspired moment

that i hope will pass soon!

so, i am just taking a quick breather...

i really hope to have some good stuff for you this week,

but it will more likely be monday before i return :)

i hope you all are having a wonderful week...

and even though i am absent here,

i am looking forward to popping by your world to say hi :)

see you all very soon!

XOXO

soundtrack >>> november nostalgia

good morning, gorgeous, & happy november!

can you believe it is really here??!!

november is a time to kick it down a few notches...

chilly days make it easy to cozy up inside.

i tend to feel a little nostalgic in november...

not really sure why...

maybe it is because we are starting to wrap up the year behind us,

perhaps it is because it is my birth month...

not quite sure.

all i do know is that i like to slow down the tunes a bit

and spend some time relaxing & reflecting.

i have put together a new playlist for you all that i think allows for some reflecting...

some songs old, which might bring up memories of the past

some songs new, which you might attach to some new memories.

whatever you might do,

i just hope you enjoy :)
