GUEST POSTING AT DESIGN DAZZLE'S 100 IDEAS OF CHRISTMAS WONDERFUL

I hope you've noticed the colorful green and red button on the right hand side there leading you to Design Dazzle's 100 Ideas of Christmas Wonderful. Better yet, I hope you've been keeping up with all the great ideas being posted every day.

Remember my ghost milk jugs from Halloween here?  Well, I'm sharing how to winterize them for the holidays as my contribution to the party.  Check it out here.

MAGICAL GARDEN PARTY

Welcome back! Are you all still deflating like I am from the Thanksgiving weekend?? I feel like I'm still in a bit of a turkey coma.  But, it's parties like this one that make me excited to get back into things. I am so charmed by everything about this fairy garden party! The foliage letters, ladybug apples, leafy placemats, and I love how the adults got into it as much as the kids!  Such a memorable party for an adorable little girl turning one.  Enjoy the enchanting details photographed and submitted by Summer Shea Photography in California.

VINTAGE DESSERT TABLE

The big feast day is tomorrow! I'm finalizing my menu and trying to find a craft or printable activity to keep my girls busy during the day.  It will only be us this year, which frankly I don't mind.  I'm looking forward to staying in my pj's a little while longer while watching the parade and not having to worry about the house being completely clean. I will be taking the rest of the week off.  But, although I won't have an official blog post, I always pop in to Facebook and Twitter to share some good stuff I find around blogland.  In the meantime, I am going to leave you with these lovely images of a vintage dessert table taken and submitted by BeautifulU Photo. Great inspiration for Thanksgiving!  I especially love the "Build Your Own Pavlova" station.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and know that I am hugely grateful for all of you that take the time to read and check in with Home Confetti. You're the reason I keep posting!

DIY CONFETTI BOWS

When you're shopping for a gift, are you already thinking about how you're going to wrap it?  What cute bows you might use?  How can you beat this festive DIY confetti bow from Prudent Baby?  This would even be cute for a Little Man themed birthday party.  Find the full tutorial here.

MY FAVORITE STUFFING: CRANBERRY PECAN STUFFING

If you're hosting Thanksgiving dinner this week, no doubt you're in the midst of finalizing your menu for the big day.  One of the stars on the table is always the stuffing.  I thought I'd share the stuffing recipe I always make and is always a hit with guests.  It's this Cranberry-Pecan stuffing that was actually a reader contest winner in Rachel Ray magazine.  The cranberries add a nice twist and it doesn't come out overly mushy, like some stuffing recipes do.  You can find the full recipe here.
