I have been growing out my hair for the last two years, and it was definitely time to donate it to Locks of Love.
My hair was past my waist.
I made an appointment with Kat at my very favorite place.
I was so excited. This is my third time donating my hair.
One ponytail and a few snips later.
I love it! Kat did an awesome job, and my hair is fuller and darker too. She even gave me some pretty cute bangs. She is awesome!
It is a big change, but I am so happy about it!
I’ve been finishing up teacher gifts, and I’m currently crocheting a few extra scarves for family gifts too. They have been quick and easy to crochet.
One scarf takes me around three hours to crochet. Just the right amount of time for a Football game.
I made a grey one for my hubby.
I have one scarf for each of the kid’s school teachers. Agnes has three teachers at preschool.
The big kitty has been keeping me company. He has his own blanket to snuggle up on the couch. The big guy just celebrated his 15th birthday earlier this month. He celebrated be taking an extra long nap on the couch with me. He is a pretty cute little craft-buddy.
I am so excited for Thanksgiving. I’ve been making my lists and prepping a few dishes ahead too. I really hope that I get everything done in time.
I tested out a batch of Wheat Rolls last night. The family approved, so they will be added to the menu.
I can’t wait to start making pies! I’m planning a snack buffet for the evening, and maybe I’ll have to sneak in another dessert there too.
I’ll be finishing up the shopping on Monday, I’m so excited I just can’t wait! What about you… What is left on your Thanksgiving to do list?
There is a lot of baking happening next week, and I’ve been testing out a few new recipes too. I can’t wait to get started cooking for Thanksgiving though, it has become my very favorite holiday.
I have a little sneak peek photo to share…
Easy breadmaker coffee-cake. I think this would be perfect for Christmas breakfast.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and I’m a little ready, and a little not… I spent last weekend cleaning the kitchen, washing dishes, and prepping a few dishes for Thanksgiving in advance. I’ve got the plates, and bowls that we use for holidays washed and ready to go. I still need to make my list of everything that we will need for the day.
I plan on shopping for Thanksgiving next Monday. I hope I remember it all. Agnes only has one day of school next week, and the boys only have two. They will all be home to keep be company while I’m cooking for the family.
There is still so much to be done around the house… I hope I can get it all together in time.
What about you… Are you ready for Thanksgiving?
