Can you believe next Thursday is Thanksgiving already?
I have to admit, I was getting a little overwhelmed realizing how close it was and thinking about what I wanted to get done prior... you know. Probably what everyone feels at least one or two times before you get company for the holidays.
But then I found this cute card that was hand made and given to me by my nieces and nephew, on my husband's side of the family, a few years ago. We played games more that year than we had in previous years and we had so much fun. We laughed. a LOT...
Looking at this note still brings both a smile and a tear (I'm emotional, what can I say?).
It reminded me that decorating, cooking/baking, shopping and all of that can be fun (and, at times, stressful), and I won't quit posting about it because that's what we do on this blog. But many times I can't even remember from one year to the next what my decorations were or what food I made. What I do remember is the time spent and memories created with family and friends (no, this photo isn't my family :-)).

Speaking of games, I couldn't resist sharing these Chocolate Domino Cookies from Country Living. How cute are they? I wonder if you could make scrabble cookies? :-)
How about you? What special things have you done in the past or will you do this year to create special memories?
