Here a turkey, there a turkey!

I told you yesterday that the turkeys made their way out of the tote! What is bothering me is I swear I/we picked up a turkey or two at yard sales this summer, but I only found one. Could I have possibly picked them up and set them back down? It would seem so or I will find them in another month. (wait until you see all the yard sale/estate sale treasures that are waiting to be loved again) Alright, before I am tempted to go get those items out and take pictures and become COMPLETELY distracted...back to Thanksgiving!

What do you think about the turkey? He is one of those plastic cake toppers. You know, the ones that get pressed into the icing (hmmm....yum). Picked him up at a yard sale for a dime. I wasn't sure what I would do with him then but when I took him out of the China cabinet this is where he ended up. What? Where do you put your out of season yard sale/estate sale/flea market finds? :)

I needed the crock that was in the center so that meant something to had to fill in that hole. That move created another hole. Am I the only one that moves half the house around? I'm pretty sure I'm not. I've read some of your posts. :)

Not only do I move half the house around, I have a tendency to move things around multiple times. Look at what is on the table now. I think it is an illness, but I guess it could be worse.

With the crock on the table, the basket needed a new home!

But....to put the basket there....yep I had to move some stuff...perhaps I could market an exercise program doing this... This is what was on the victrola before the basket landed there...

And the lamp ended up here!

Here is one shot of the mantel.  Only a couple small changes were made.

For the posts on the first round of fall decorating see here and here. We skipped Halloween decorating this year. I am sure we will make up for that next year. Last year's Halloween can be seen here and here.

Did you miss the post with my Thanksgiving cards?

Thanks so much for stopping by. Please leave some comment love and stop on over to the places where I am linking today!!

Eat More Ham!

The Halloween mess scraps and supplies are put away. Out of sight out of mind right? At least for now. I do have a stack of cards sitting here waiting for me to mail them. I don't understand why they don't jump right into those envelopes and address themselves.  Oh well.

Some of our wonderful friends and family are already asking Christmas cards. (I do like how they think ahead!! That means if I am rushed it is MY fault) Before I started on Christmas cards I HAD to make some turkey cards!  That I did! I will also be making more because the ones that I had been working on are all gone. YAY ME!!!!!! The turkeys or is it turkies, no one seems to be able to tell me. This is how they started!

The cuts are from Create A Critter! Love that cartridge!!!! Now let's take a look at the finished ones shall we?

Cute huh? The stamp on the envelope is from Lawn Fawn, as is the inside sentiment. The inside says Happy Turkey Day. You can see that stamp in this post. His sign was cut from the Walk In My Garden cartridge.

Eat More Ham was stamped with my new Martha Stewart Crafts custom stamp setting kit.

I was all excited about this product at the store the night I bought it.  I then brought it home and wondered if I had made a foolish purchase. It definitely wasn't foolish. I made my own stamp, that can't be foolish! I have two other stamps ready to go. One of them is for the Halloween cards that are STILL sitting here outside of their envelopes! :)

Here are the turkeys/turkies again. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Do you like? I hope you will leave a comment. I love reading them all and if you are set up so I can reply back I do my very best to reply to comments if I am able! Thanks again everyone! I am linking up to these parties! I hope you will visit them too!!!!!
