I have the letter C. C is a great letter – it’s what starts Christmas, crafts, children, cooking, cupcakes, college sports, cheese… well, lots of awesome things.

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!
