I'm happy you're here. If you are new, welcome! I hope you'll be a regular. For the folks who are here and link up week after week, thank you for being so supportive. In honor of this being week 17 of the party, I'm going to make all of my blog readers "what I am thankful for" on this 17th day of November!
This party is a bit late getting started because this weekend we celebrated my parents' 40th wedding anniversary! I invited them to come to my house on Saturday for an early Thanksgiving dinner -- and instead of a turkey dinner, they got a surprise party!
I'm grateful to have them as a wonderful example of what a good marriage should be.
In keeping with the theme, this week's featured pins are have materials in them that I am thankful for. A special thank you to featured bloggers My Favorite Kind of Crazy, Craft Cravings, and Bakewell Junction!
First, I'm thankful for pumpkin! Getting a pumpkin is a field trip, the pumpkin itself is a decoration, and then something yummy to eat. This pin is a pumpkin muffin - perfect for eating on Thanksgiving morning to fortify yourself for the parades, family gatherings, and football games of the day!
I'm thankful when I can get a little more life out of something. These mittens are a simple way to upcycle an old sweater. Given how many gloves and mittens we lose, I will appreciate this pin all winter long!
And finally, I'm thankful for chocolate! What girl isn't?
Doesn't this Chocolate-Bourbon-Pecan Pie look fantastic? Yum!
It's time for this week's link up! Share your favorite pins - Thanksgiving or other themed!

Thanks for hosting! Congratulations to your parents and may God bless them with many more years of love, health and happiness together!
ReplyDeleteThanks for featuring my pumpkin muffins! I sure appreciate your hosting each week!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit slow getting on Pinterest, but sounds like a lot of fun! I enjoyed poking around at the pins that were shared and hope to one day join one of your parties! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI don't always know how or where to pin my blog posts on pinterest. Seems self-serving to me and I have a hard time working around that notion.
ReplyDeleteI used to as well. Then I started looking at it as just a corkboard of ideas I wanted to safe to go back to. I like when people pin my stuff (who doesn't?) but it took looking at it as "make Pinterest work for me and maybe my stuff will work for someone else in the process" to really not feel all "look at me!!" when pinning.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will join!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! They look so yummy, especially with the topping!!

ReplyDelete40 years! How awesome! I am going to try to figure out this link up so I can join!
ReplyDelete40 years? That is amazing! You don't really see that so much any more, it seems. Also, thank you for featuring my mittens out of sweaters. I still have several sweaters I want to "mitten-ize". This week, I am sharing my bird seed wreath, another cold weather project. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI am seriously going to join your Pinterest Party one of these weeks coming up!! ;) Awesome job!!
