The Creative Corner: November 22nd

Happy Sunday, and welcome to another week of The Creative Corner!

Over the weekend, Michigan got its first snowfall of the season, and it was beautiful.
I can't believe this Thursday is already Thanksgiving! Speaking of Thanksgiving, we have decided to spend the weekend with our families and will therefore not be having the linkup next Sunday, but please come back and join us Sunday, December 6th!

Tasha from Designer Trapped In A Lawyer's Body shared with us her HOT CHOCOLATE BAR last week, and oh my gosh I am in love! I am dying to get out my Christmas stuff, but am trying really hard to wait until AFTER Thanksgiving. This hot chocolate bar could be a first step though, since it's not technically Christmas related... right?

Last week, Tasha from Designer Trapped in a Lawyer's Body shared with us her 2015 Fall Home Tour. While I am starting to get a little Christmas-crazed in my head, I loved checking out her Fall tour to remind me that I still have some time to appreciate the month of November before getting too carried away with the Christmas season. Also, I LOVE this chalkboard wall :)

CURRENTLY: November Edition

I love the sense of thankfulness that comes with November. While I wish more people realized how blessed they are throughout all months of the year, it is truly uplifting to hear and see the kindness and appreciation that fills the month of November.

While welcoming November, I am joining In Residence and Gold & Bloom for their monthly CURRENTLY link up. 



COOKING | I love when the weather becomes cooler and it is finally acceptable to make soups. My favorite is this Tomato, Basil, & Parmesan Soup. It is insanely delicious! 

PLANNING | A study schedule for when I graduate in December and officially have to take my boards (hopefully in January!). As much as I don't want to think of studying for 5 weeks straight, I am so close to the end of my Master's program and it is so exciting!

SMELLING | Seasons Blessing scented Yankee Candle, it is one of my all time favorites!

APPRECIATING | Spending a relaxing day at home. Life has been hectic lately and I am very appreciative of the days I am able to spend at HOME, cuddled up with my husband and my dog.

ANTICIPATING | All things CHRISTMAS! Christmas decorations, Christmas music, Christmas shopping, and Christmas gatherings. I have already picked up a few Christmas items and just ordered a few more from TJ Maxx. Christmas will be here before you know it, and I am so excited!


Happy November!

The Creative Corner: November 1st

A lot of changes have been happening around here at The Creative Corner. Some of you may have noticed, but Amanda from Burlap and Babies, as well as Amanda from Dwelling in Happiness, have decided to take a break from blogging and will no longer be partying with us each week. While the group is sad to see them go, we are excited to welcome someone new to the party. Maria from Pastels and Macarons is our new co-host, and we are all so excited to have her! Please give her a warm welcome by checking out her blog and leaving her some comment love!
