Greetings everyone. I hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday! Thank you all for your kind Thanksgiving wishes - CJ, Jon, Paranormal John. It's now Black Friday - the day after the Thanksgiving holiday. I never go out on Black Friday because I would much rather keep my own family tradition of putting away all of the autumn decorations and bring out the winter/and Yule décor - save for the tree again this year due to lack of space in our little house. There are still at least 20 large bins of my mom's things I have yet to go through in order to make room for my own stuff. Perhaps the week of Christmas I will be able do something with them when I have a lot more time to do so.
Yesterday, we enjoyed a lovely family dinner with my in-laws. To express my deep appreciation for everything they have done to help me get through the terrible ordeal with my mother and selling my family's house for her, my hubby and I gave them early Christmas gift baskets from Hickory Farms ...
I can never resist the Petits Fours - expensive, but DELICIOUS!
The flavors: Almond, Strawberry, Orange, and Mocha.
And, one of my favorite confections - Meltaway Mints also from Hickory Farms ...
A couple of snap shots from yesterday ...

Experimenting with holiday colors ....
Chanel colored mascara "Rouge Intense" using L'Oreal White Primer.

And, just for the fun of it, I combined Chanel colored mascara "Lilas" with Lime Crime's colored mascara "Nebula" to try and get a more pigmented color purple ...
New earrings from "The Mint Leaf" ...
And last but not least, some new pics of how the kitties are getting along with the new kid on the block ...
Charlie and Tabitha.

Have a great weekend, friends!
The seasons are passing too quickly! I still have my pumpkins. They're pie pumpkins, so perhaps I could cook/bake them.
ReplyDeleteThe best part of the holidays is the food - - and I like those Christmas baskets.
I'm sure you'll unlock many memories and treasures while going through your mother's things.
I'm still in a very foul mood, going through bad health issues, but I'll get over it....
I always luv the kittie photos.
Oh, Petit Fours! I haven't had those in decades. Sounds like you had a lovely holiday. So glad the fur babies are getting along. They look so cute chilling.
ReplyDeleteCharlie and his 'new siblings' are so darn cute! Charlie found a wonderful home! The gift basket looked so good. I don't eat much
ReplyDeleteof that stuff anymore so I live vicariously through your pics and descriptions. Yum. Look forward to seeing your Yule/Christmas decorations....and more of Charlie and siblings!
