Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We spent a sweet and quiet afternoon/evening with nearby family. We had sucha good time that I forgot to take a single photo. No worries, the memories will still be around for quite a while :)
Corey and I are heading out to do a little late night shopping. We'd much rather stay up a little later than to wake up with the roosters tomorrow morning.
In the meantime, I have a little treat for you:

Hey everyone!
I'm popping in quickly to let you know that I'm the featured sponsor on Donna Downey's blog today (I can't even tell you how excited I am)! I'm giving away TWO holiday journal kits (winners will get to choose which size they'd like). You have until 10am EST tomorrow morning to enter (Wednesday 11/16).
I'm also offering Donna's readers a shopping discount for the next week. Check it out here.
Have a great Tuesday!

A few weeks ago, I ventured off into Dallas to explore by myself for the weekend. Of course, I had to document everything!
Say hello to the Big D minibook:
I have about 40 photos of this album and I don't want to overwhelm you. See The Big D mini in its entirety here or click on the Big D "polaroid" on the right side of the blog --------------->
Essentially, this is a 4x6 version of my Unfussy Journal. I thought the larger size would appeal to a broader audience since standard size photos could be popped right in, but I wanted to test drive it before deciding whether or not to carry it in the shop.
I took my portable printer with me on my trip, so that I can work on my book whenever the mood struck. While I printed a few 4x6s, I opted to mostly print credit-card sized photos. The two sizes played nicely together.
You will definitely see this size in the shop soon! It is absolutely perfect (if I do say so myself!); large enough for those standard sized photos, small enough to throw right into your purse or suitcase. I may have to make another for my upcoming trip back to Seattle :)

one :: I'm creeping up on my one month anniversary at The Bar Method. It still hurts. It's still awesome.
two :: Even though I doubt I'll have the time to participate, I'm intrigued by Shimelle's Christmas Crafting Weekend (which started today)
three :: I'm a little excited to be heading to Cowboy Stadium tomorrow to watch high school football. Sade's boyfriend is playing in a playoff game. Between Corey and I, we've been to just about all of his games this season, so we'll be sad when it ends eventually (but, hopefully, not tomorrow)
four :: I'm looking forward to doing a quick & simple overhaul of my studio this weekend. Now that all of the holiday journal kits have been assembled, I can remove the extra table that has been taking up valuable space for the last month or so. The plan is to provide Lauryn a spot to sit and keep me company while I'm working. I keep you updated on the progress :)
five :: I'm doing a big giveaway next week on a popular blog. I'll also be offering everyone a shop discount. Check back here on Tuesday and I'll give you all of the details!
six :: This was Lauryn's first week of attending school "everyday" (Monday-Thursday for 2.5 hours each day and we're all loving it so far
seven :: I'm currently working on a menu for Thanksgiving. As in years past, I will likely go with a pre-roasted turkey (I don't trust myself to do it!). Then I'll make all of the sides, most of which will be green and leafy :)
eight :: I just devoured the 3rd issue of etzcetera magazine and I'm officially in love (I've been a fan of Kim Archer's for quite some time, so I'm not shocked)! I already have 2 or 3 project ideas rolling around in my head as a result.
nine :: Need some help with your holiday shopping? Check out Ez's (of Creature Comforts) Gifted Magazine for 2011. So much eye candy! I especially love the kids gifts and the stocking stuffer sections.
ten :: I'm working on a very simple gratitude journal for the month of November. Be on the lookout for a quick share next week
eleven :: Finally, many thanks and blessings to those who have served and to those who continue to serve.

I'm popping in during this extremely long day (I'm finding that children under the age of 5 could really care less about the "extra" hour) to let you know that the 2011 Holiday Kits have arrived in the shop! Here are a few details:
The kits are available in two sizes: 6x8 and 4x6 (I usually prefer 6x8, but I'm completely in love with the 4x6 version this year).
A few inside peeks:
Each kit also includes a sweet pack of embellishments:
Grab yours in my holiday shoppe. Both sizes are in stock and are ready to ship. If you're a newsletter subscriber, your coupon code has been extended to midnight EST on Tuesday, November 8. Not a subscriber? Get on the list here.
Thanks for looking!
