Pecan Pie Squares
*this post first was featured on A Southern Fairytale
Today I’m excited to share with you a recipe that’s been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. My mom used to make these all of the time when I was younger and now I enjoy making them for my family.
I’ve also got a little Christmas Treat Packaging tip to share with you… so keep reading until the end.
DIY Glitter House, “A Grateful Home”
For the last few years at Christmas time I’ve wanted to make a glitter house village. Rhonna made some a few years ago that I LOVE! I bought the house with that intention. Then decided to take a little pressure off of myself at Christmas and make one for Thanksgiving instead. A Grateful Home.

Candy Corn Autumn Yarn Wreath
I finally gave in and jumped on then yarn wreath band wagon. I’ve seen dozens of them online this year and could not get the idea out of my head to make one.
I’ve been trying to build up my Fall decor (stuff not related to Halloween), I don’t like my house looking empty between Halloween and Christmas, Thanksgiving is too important of a holiday to forget about.
Thanksgiving Banner
I’ve had fun making a few new decorations for Thanksgiving this year. After I made the wreath last week, I decided to keep going and make a “give thanks” banner.
I used the Grateful Glam from Rhonna Designs again. I just printed the cards and background papers out then glued them to the front of a chipboard banner I already had.
The letters are Tim Holtz grunge board with Martha Stewart glitter applied to the front.
