What’s On Your Menu?
Doodle T – ORC Week 3 – We Have Paint!
Gorgeous table decorations! But I think I gained 5 lbs. reading your post!!! My b-i-l is dying from lung cancer. This will likely be his last Thanksgiving. My niece (their daughter) is flying in from California for Thanksgiving — it’s a surprise! So the rest of us will be busy cooking everything at home and transporting it to my sisters. Should be a hoot!
Sounds wonderful Calensariel – making lots of memories with love and food…doesn’t get any better than that!
You two look so sweet☺ I like the ice- cream pie idea and the candles too ♥ Happy Monday, Jeanne♥
Hi Summer – you are definitely the baker…the best I can do is ice cream pie and it is smashing but no baking involved…Fool Proof! Happy Monday to You!
Our favorite holiday. Looking forward to another wonderful Thanksgiving with our families. Oh and the surprise center piece for the table.
My initial centerpiece ideas were super over the top…Mr. Doodle reined me in and we’re going more “traditional” but with a twist. 🙂
Awesome post…can’t believe my bro got conservative all of a sudden. Let the artist create…haha.
He steps in when I start to get REALLLLLLY OVER THE TOPPPP…like my idea for a squawking black crow in a cage with red blinking eyes for the Thanksgiving table… 🙂
I kinda liked the Raven in the cage but your cuz wouldn’t (lol)
