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.
