I love feeling festive and celebrating and my kids love it too! I believe that holidays don't have to break the bank to feel festive and special. This fun little fall vignette and Thanksgiving printable pack originated with this stick wreath that I made. You can grab all the deats on this stick wreath here.

Thanksgiving Journals & Christmas Shelves

Giving Thanks
I wanted to make a point of incorporating thankfulness this month, seeing as though it is November and all. This is no spend November so I had to rock what I had. Surprisingly, not a problem.
