a little gift for my friend Cindy adorned with one of Suann's most excellent pencils...The weekend was busy and lovely and full of fun activities...a friend's birthday lunch, late night with the girlies at the Dallas Museum of Art on Friday, preparations for Thanksgiving (we're hosting the big day for the very first time... my family + several dear friends are coming, so I'm in the thick of planning the menu, scheming the table decorations, washing the wine glasses...) And sweet hubby is working away on the table -- it's so close, and I can honestly say it's turning out even more fantastic than I imagined.
And then of course there was the Kirtsy Book Party on Saturday... So much goodness -- some evidence below (+ more here.)
loved meeting sweet molly from my favorite things (+ her lovely friend Stephanie...) All in all, it would have been a pretty much perfect weekend if not for the family photos we decided to have taken bright and early Sunday... Bad idea. What is it with taking a family photo to bring out the absolute worst, most anal, stressed out, Meanie McMeanerson part of me?
Does this happen to you?
p.s. don't forget the Satsuma Press giveaway!

Ok. That table is the table of my dreams. Please, please have Bryan do a post on how he made it so that I can force my handy hubby to make me one!
Oh, that table..! And how cool that you get to host Thanksgiving. We do, too, here... And we usually have friends over as well. Have a wonderful celebration - and enjoy that new table. Just beautiful!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Joslyn.
Yes, yes on photos and BIG stress. Posed with sisters for new photos for the parents a few years ago. Just getting dressed in the "right" colors for the photographer, all of us trying to look different and decent at the same time just about did us in. Almost cancelled at the appt. time! Ulcer city! Glad you survived! :)
Have a great holiday. Your preparations look beautiful!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Joslyn! Cheers!
And that table?? Wow. Can't wait to see it all set for dinner!
