Matter of Cents and I are excited to bring you another week of Pin Me! Pinterest Thursdays.
This week I asked those of you who are following me on Facebook for your theme suggestions, as this week is Reader’s Choice. I’ll be saving the other suggestions for some future posts, but I selected the “Crafts/DIY” option for this week. Here are a few of my faves.
Wedding Invitation Ornament
This one is actually one of my own crafts; I made it for my brother and new sis-in-law.
Can you believe 2012 is almost here? It’s time to reflect on 2011 and then celebrate the New Year by setting goals and making resolutions (or not!) for 2012. If you’re going to be having a party then you might be interested in these New Year’s Eve ideas. Whether you’re having a big bash or some family fun there are crafts, recipe and party ideas for you. Here are a few I like that I found on Pinterest.
As this week was quite hectic, I missed Make at Home Monday and Tasty Tuesday this week. To make up for it, I wanted to share a few of my favorite pins from Pinterest for Thanksgiving recipes, crafts, and decor. If you click the images you’ll be taken to the pin so you can find the original source.
I also want to wish all of you and your families a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy all the Black Friday shopping, too, if you’re braving the crowds!

These would be cute for your dessert table or even your child’s classroom.

The second reason is because we finally get to decorate for Christmas.
Decorating is one of my favorite parts of the season and I’m lucky that my hubby cheerfully offers to put the tree up as early as I want. He offered to put it up for me this weekend but Baby C. is in to everything right now and I knew it only meant two extra weeks of chasing her amazingly fast little self down and keeping her from trying to climb the thing.
So we’ll do it Thanksgiving evening or the day after. But just because I’m not decorating yet doesn’t mean I’m not crafting (and buying) ornaments!
Button ornaments have been around for ages, so this may not be all that new for you. But they’re inexpensive to make and get put together very quickly so they’re easy to do as a family craft, at an ornament exchange with friends or just to mass-produce on your own to decorate the tree or give as gifts.
