Fall Sweet & Salty Mix

Here is the recipe that I promised, for a yummy sweet and salty fall mix that I used to give the sisters that I visit teach.

 I love the buttery, salty flavor of the bugles for the base of this recipe, it is also a great recipe because you can add whatever you want to make your own version!  I think that dried cranberries, chocolate pomegranates or spiced gumdrops would also be wonderful in this mix!

Fun Thanksgiving Printables and Games

Today I have a round-up of a few FUN Thanksgiving printables.

 

This first printable is for Thanksgiving Place cards and you can print them here.

There are 4 different ones to choose from or you can do a variety of all of them!  These are just a fold-over, so you just need to print, cut, fold in half and write names, or you could have everyone write one blessing, and have everyone guess who wrote what blessing!   So easy! Continue reading

Thursday’s Thought

As I was coming home the other day, I turned onto our street and this was the view that I saw!

It was so beautiful that I ran in and grabbed my camera and started snapping away.

 I love that I have this kind of beauty right in my front yard!

So it is with a grateful heart, that I decided on this thought for the week!

Happy Thursday everyone!  Love Ya!

Fall Pillow Wrap

Don’t  forget to vote today?

That is my little public service announcement!  :)

Now on to the post for today:

I have all of my Halloween put away and I have been a little slow on getting my fall/Thanksgiving decorations out.  I just am having a hard time getting into it.  I think that if I put it off, it will not come as fast!   It is not Thanksgiving that I really worry about it is Christmas that seems to come waaay too fast!  So let’s just be in denial and see where that gets me!  :)

I did get one thing done and put out:

Here is my fall pillow wrap.

I made a linen pillow cover for this one that can be used with other wraps throughout the year.  Now I have my black one from Halloween and a linen one.  I should be able to use these two pillows with most any wraps!

I love the fall leaves in this fabric with the orange polka dot ruffles.  Polka Dots and ruffles just go together, do they not?  And the brown ric rac  finishes it off so perfectly!

What a Week!

This has been a busy week here at the ranch.  Even though we are empty nesters it does not mean that we slow down very much!

My husband and I took a quick little trip to St. George, (Southern Utah)  the first few days of the week.  We went to two of the Tuacahn Theater Shows,   “Aladdin” and “Hairspray”.  They were both so good and the weather was pretty good although the first night we were there the wind came up and it got downright cold!  We figured if we were going to see these shows that we had better go now, because they are going to end this week!  We really enjoy going to the different shows every year!  Thriller starts next week and I would love to see that one too, but I doubt that we will make it back down there to see that one!  Maybe next year!

Halloween Muddy Buddies

The other day I had one of my best little helpers with me and we decided that we would like to make something good to eat!

My little helper was great at measuring and pouring the ingredients into the bowl.  I love to have a little helper in the kitchen, don’t you?

We decided that these Halloween Muddy Buddies would hit the spot, what do you think?  Do you want to make some too?
