This year for Thanksgiving, we are spending our Holiday with my family in Nevada. My Mom, my brother Dave and two nieces live here. We are having a combination Thanksgiving, family reunion and wedding celebration for my brother Dave, who is getting married this Saturday; which incidentally is Steve's and my anniversary as well (our 33rd); but not only that, it is my daughter Marie and her hubby Jon's anniversary. I think if we keep adding these weddings up at Thanksgiving time every year, me might have to do something really amazing to celebrate like going on a family anniversary cruise or something... that would be the way to celebrate don't you think? I will post some pictures next week about all our "doings" this week.
I thought while I was full turkey, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie, and tired from cooking, I would take a breather and put my feet up, and browse the internet for some Christmas ideas...and since I am thinking of Christmas ideas, I think I will post some updated pictures of my Painted Glass Christmas Bulbs to spark some inspiration. I have had fun making these and am thinking you might enjoy seeing them and perhaps making them. I actually posted about them a couple of Christmases ago, but decided to update some pictures last week. Click here for the little tutorial from a couple of years ago.
I thought this one worked well as a Shabby Chic Christmas Bulb.
You can use a variety of colors and trims.
Don't you love all those colors?
Be sure to click on the link above and see how to make them.
Have a great Holiday Everyone.

These are so pretty. We are having a family fun morning at church tomorrow morning and one of the crafts we have planned is decorating baubles. I doubt they will look quite as stylish as these though!
