Thursdays Treasures

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm so grateful to have you all as friends! 
In just 24 hours I will be in full Christmas mode. We will have eaten ourselves full, enjoyed being with family and remembered what we're thankful for. (In my home, we go around the table and say what we're thankful for.)
The tree is set up in the living room waiting to be decorated. I'll let the girls do it this year and just follow up behind them to make a few adjustments where needed. I do a color coordinated tree. This year it'll be a red and white theme. How do you trim the tree? And another question, how many trees do you have? When I was a kid, we had ONE tree! Now many people have several trees throughout the house. I even have a friend who has a tree in every room in her house. That's too much for me.

So let's get to the party, I know I still have a few things to get done tonight to make tomorrow a little easier.
Debi of Recipes for my Boys and Christie from Food Done Light can't wait to see what you link up this week!

 Here's what caught my eye last week-


Butterscotch Gingerbread Cookies from Lemons for Lulu




Homemade Mounds from French Press


Cookie Dough Hot Chocolate from The Pink Flour


Paper Tree Ornaments from Alderberry Hill

Be sure to pop over to Debi's and Christie's and see what they've featured this week.

You know how parties work, 
link up a few of your favorite recipes and/or crafts, provide a link back somewhere on your post 
or on your party page, If you don't provide the link back, we can't feature you. 
visit a few others and leave some kind words. 
Oh and make sure you drop by Debi's, give her a hug from me and follow her, she's also on Facebook. and Christie, make sure she feels some love too, on her blog and facebook. 

We'll be popping by to comment, Pin and feature on facebook so leave a light on for us.
