WUW?: Giving Thanks

Preparing for the first Thanksgiving with my "new" family I caught the baking bug and created a deluge of sweets (as you can see above!)

Excitedly I even posted on Instagram which resulted in not all of the desserts fitting!
Astrologically this week we're in between major happenings, but as you know tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the U.S. so it'll be fooding and family time around the states.  Then follows the dreaded & celebrated Black Friday & Cyber Monday, with Small Business Saturday hanging out in between.  (And in case you want to know what is going on with Aradia's Hand for these few days, make sure you're on the newsletter before 9 am EST on Friday...I only share these special alerts with my special peeps so make sure you're one of them!)

In other news I haven't been working on much lately, much to my chagrin.  Moving, new baby, and just lots of changing and shifting has had me swamped and super duper tired!  But I did get a change to get something on my loom I've been meaning to...

Something else I've been working on this week is a last-minute gift guide for the shop.  This will likely be a new feature I'll put up each November, with handy suggestions for various people you may still have to shop for!  For this year I recommend you check out the following...

  1. Encourage peaceful presence with the Soothe Your Spirits ~ Beaded Hair Pins.  Great for that girlfriend of yours who tries to do it all!
  2. Keep your energy & spirits up with I AM Energized ~ Dangle Earrings.  Something special just for you!
  3. Winter is a wonderful time for Neptunian pursuits, like reflecting on your dreams with the Awake in Dreamtime ~ Necklace.  Support that spiritually-minded dreamer you know!
  4. Your favorite Bride-to-be will adore the charming Pearl Brilliance Bracelet as her something new!  Be the best Maid of Honor!
  5. Make the Earth, Fire, Water ~ Healing Shawl to your favorite cozy comfort against cold weather!  When's the last time you pampered yourself?
  6. Have sweet dreams during those long Winter nights with A Seafarer's Dream!  Great for the restless sleeper!
  7. In case your couch is a little too chilly, wrap up in the Nevermore ~ Throw with a good book...for the Poe lover perhaps?
  8. Braving the chill?  Keep warm with the Moonlit Night ~ Armwarmers! Your trendy friend will thank you for these!
  9. Keep your tiny miss warm too with the Lavender Dreams ~ Crochet Toddler Hat.  Perfect for that mama with a dear sweet little girl!

As I mentioned earlier I baking up a storm today.  Impromptu plans with sweetie's family were finally finalized and I opted to do my specialty - desserts.  My absolute favorite go-to cold weather treat is my special cheesecake with a twist mom imparted to me, but I've also added Pumpkin Cookies, Peanut Butter Fudge, Raspberry Breakfast Cake, along with another holiday go to of Candied Yams.
This year is going to be my first with sweetie's family so I'm hoping for good times (holidays weren't a nice time in my family growing up!)  So this year on the top of my gratitude list = a caring other, new & loving family, new traditions learned, old traditions remembered, & being able to share my favorite foods with new people!

In the comments below I'd love to hear from you...
  • What's your favorite Thanksgiving recipe?
  • Do you have any special traditions for the holiday?
  • What are you thankful for?
