Have You Heard of Scentsy?

I have no craft to show you today, but I do have a great Christmas gift idea for you.  Actually, it's a great gift for any occasion.  Gift to your host/hostess, birthday, thank you, house warming, Monday (come on- a Scentsy product would totally make your Monday better), or just pick your own reason.


*btw, I am not being paid for this endorsement and the opinions stated are all mine*


If you have never encountered Scentsy, you may be asking, tell me what it is already.  Well, Scentsy offers a line of scent warmers that not only smell heavenly, but are super stylish as well.


Here are an example of some of their Christmas warmers:







I think my favorites are the reindeer and trees.  And then there are the adorable plug-in warmers.  Here are my favorites:




Here are some non-holiday warmers:





And for all you crafters out there, Scentsy offers a DIY warmer, you just add your own designs:


Now that you have picked out your warmer, the hard part has come:  picking a scent.  Here are just a few:  Baked Apple Pie, Blueberry Cheesecake, Autumn Sunset, Christmas Cottage, Black Raspberry Vanilla, Clean Breeze, Cucumber Lime, the list go on and on.  Oh, and guys, there are even scents just for you, such as: Duke, Echo and Hemingway.


Where can you order yours?  Go to Amy Pylant's Scentsy Page and start buying!!  Then come back and tell me what you bought.  ;)

Manic Monday

Thanksgiving is fast approaching and this year it is also my son's birthday, so I am especially busy getting prepared.  Thanksgiving day will probably be spent at my in-laws with most of their family present.  The day after will be spent with my family and at this point I'm not really sure who will be there.  What I am sure about is I will be cooking one or two dishes for each celebration.  Here are the dishes I have decided to choose from:


Green Bean Bundles

Now, as for Jax's birthday party, he loves trains so I have been looking on Etsy for ideas.

Thankful Thursday

During November, my Thursday posts will be about what I am thankful for.


The Roman philosopher Seneca said, "Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart."  Think about that for a moment.  If I am truly grateful for every blessing and every moment of learning and every bump on the road of life, how honorable would I be?


Synonyms for honorable:  honest, direct, genuine, sincere, true, ethical, moral, just, noble, and good.


I would be love to be described with any of these words.


Synonyms for grateful:  thankful, appreciative, and glad.


Today I am thankful for:  my son and the love of my life, my family, my uncle who gave me a job when I truly needed one and for my health.


Today, what are you thankful for?
