Hello everyone and welcome to Pittypat Paperie. I have been soooo enjoying decorating for Thanksgiving. I have been guilty in the past of skipping right over Thanksgiving in my haste to decorate for Christmas. I said this year I was not going to do that. Are you like me and just can't find much for Thanksgiving??? The stores are full of Christmas stuff already.
Soooo, with that being said (my rant for the day, lol) I thought I would just make some things. First of all I made this little kleenex box holder. If you have been following my blog you might remember the one I made last Christmas. You can see it HERE. If you want to make one of your own you can find the instructions They are so fast and easy to make Ÿ
This is a close up of the top of the box. I cut the hole using one of my Nestabilities.
This is a pumpkin I had out at Halloween. I just added a dowel and an alligator clip with one of the nestability die cuts.
A closeup of the cutout. It is like the one I used on the tissue box only bigger.
I thought you might like to take a peek at some of the other Thanksgiving decor I have out.
The cowboy in this picture is my sweet grandson, Shannon. He ropes steers and keeps his Nana scared to death and praying for him day and night Ÿ Oh how I love this child of my child :o)
Well, that's about it for my Thanksgiving decor. We are having our Thanksgiving celebration with family and friends this Sunday. We will be going to my daughter's house on Thanksgiving day. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Be sure and visit the link parties listed to the right of my blog. I will be joining all the fun there. Hugz, Diane

Very pretty, Diane! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. We'll be going to our daughter's place for a few days. I only have to make pumpkin pie. :-)
Be sure to stop in at Cranberry Morning and enter my 5-Bar Handcrafted SOAP'n'SUCH GIVEAWAY. Ends Friday night at 10 PM.
I am NOT up to speed because I don't know what a nestability is.
As soon as I saw the kleenex box I was excited...then I came to a screeching halt. I don't kraft enough I think. You did a wonderful job on it though.

Beautiful decor. I did a post the other day about Thanksgiving decorating. I like taking that pause before jumping into Christmas although it's so hard when the stores go straight from Halloween to Christmas! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
You have lots of pretty Thanksgiving goodies! The tissue box is great!
You're right, you can't find anything Thanksgiving right now. I was looking for a few picks or a garland of bittersweet 3 weeks ago & couldn't find anything unless it was Christmas related.
Thanks for linking to Things I've Done Thursday!

That's a fancy tissue box! It turned out great! Love your ideas and execution. Great job!
Great ideas! I especially love the tissue box - so festive for fall!
Thanks for linking up to Make the Scene Monday.
Well done! Thanksgiving seems to sneak up on me every year and the food takes precedence over the decor, so I almost never get any decorating done :(
So creative and such lovely decor. Thanks so much for joining TTT and Happy Thanksgiving. Hugs, marty
So pretty! Really great ideas - thank you for sharing at Taking A Timeout Thursday!

Hi Diane,
Just came by to see if you were okay??? Haven't seen you post so
didn't know if it was just a break for the Christmas Season or you might be sick or something. Hope everything is fine, but if not, will be praying for you hon,
Blessings for a Happy, Healthy and Productive New Year,
Nellie
Hi Nellie. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and checking on me.
I have started my own design business and it has been very successful which means I've been very busy. Seems like I devote every spare minute to work and that makes me happy.
I have thought of deleting my blog, but think one day I might get back to posting there.
Again, thank you so much for caring. Isn't it funny how we form bonds and friendships for people we have never met. That is one of my most favorite things about the internet.
I pray that you and your family have a wonderful New Year. Hugz, Diane
Hi Diane,
Just thinking about you and came over to see if you are okay, then saw your answer to my Jan. post. So exciting that you have your own design business, that is wonderful. I can only imagine how busy that must be for you. Am glad everything is fine,
and hope you do get back to posting one of these days. Starting a new business takes a lot of work and energy getting it off the ground, but at some point things might get
better. Hope everything goes wonderfully well for you hon.
Have a great year, and Happy Valentines day as well,
Blessings, Nellie
