Hello! Thank you so much for your helpful suggestions on our wet bar area! We are still going over some options and can hopefully try out a few things during Phillip's Thanksgiving vacation.
I can't believe it's only two weeks away. I haven't been blogging as much, because things are so busy around here...
Thanks to insurance, we are getting a new roof this week. The hail storm that knocked down our tree did quite a bit of damage to the roof, as well.
This is an older picture of the garage conversion project. The work team has already begun putting up drywall.
The carpet has been ordered and we are finalizing wall colors. I think I will paint the kitchen a shade lighter and start working on that next week.
I've also been trying out a few new recipes, including Jaden's Beef with Broccoli. It was delicious!
This is my favorite time of year for baking with banana and pumpkin. This week I made mini banana loaves with a streusel topping.
I'm sure we will still be in the middle of our house projects once Thanksgiving arrives, but we will take some time to relax, get together with family and friends, and give thanks for our many blessings.
I will be back in a few weeks with hopefully some news of finished projects. Talk to you then!

It is going to be such a wonderful room when you are finished. You will love it.
Kelli!!! How sweet that will be when you get it finished, sugar! I lust for a HUGE craft room, but alas, I'm stuck with a small spare bedroom since I'm an old lady. Hah!!! No one believes meeeeeee!!
Truly darling mantel display though. You might like to come over and see mine sometime.

Your new room is going to be great. I can hardly wait to see it. Your dinner looked great. Thx for sharing.
Hello,
Would you be willing to share your recipe for the banana muffins, I dont think I have heard of the streusal topping before.

Kelli, it sounds like you have been busy, busy, busy. I can't wait to see pictures of the new room when it is finished!
Love your mantle display. I'm sure you'll be glad when the work is all over.

Its good to have busy days....sounds like that is what your are. Your Beef recipe looks great. Hoping the days slow down for the holidays...if that is possible.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration. I look forward to seeing the progress on your home when you get back to the blogging world.

Hi Kelli!

Kelli, You certainly have been busy. Everything looks wonderful. Can't wait to see pictures of your finished room. I love the fall display pictures. You are so talented.
I am glad that you and Philip have decided to take some time off during the Thanksgiving Holiday. You will need to gear up again for the Christmas season.
Love, Debbi
Everything looks wonderful!!! Happy Fall!!!

I will miss all of your Thanksgiving posts, but I love that you are spending time on your home and family!
I have no idea how it's almost Thanksgiving and Fall is almost over! My favorite season is almost gone and it feels like it just started. I think that being up so many nights with the twins has been the biggest factor. I'm hoping to at least put out a few decorations this weekend.
Hope you have a blessed holiday!
Those banana muffins look scrumptious! Came over to say hi. Have a blessed day.
You always keep me inspired with your seasonal decorating & delicious recipes. Have a wonderful weekend! :o)
looking forward to seeing the completed project!! love the paint colors you have laid out in the photo.
Looking forward to seeing your projects - you're always such an inspiration! ~Adrienne~
Hi! I love your Pilgrims and Indians, they are so cute!
Everything looks awesome again! I love the Autumn sign on your mantel. Good luck with the roof. We had one put on a little while ago and I remember how loud it was..also make sure you check for leaks after your first rain with it on.
I can hardly wait to see the finished project. I am absolutely sure it will be beautiful!
God bless.
You have been very busy. I hope everything will be ok with the family room. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures.
The food looks so delicious. I'm getting really hungry !!
Have a great day.
Hi Kelli
Just popping in to say hi. I miss seeing you for paper crafting and show and tell. Although Cindy is doing a wonderful job!
Good Luck with the remodel!

Your Thanksgiving decorations are just lovely! I'm eager to see what you do with your new family room.
Renovations are always extra work...but oh the wonderful results!!! I have this to look forward to in February... =-)
Thought you would like to see this darling miniature Greenhouse...and yes fairies could inhabit it!!

Neighbours of ours turned their attached garage into a living room and it's just gorgeous! No doubt yours will be also once it's done:-) It's no wonder you haven't had much time for blogging, you have been so very busy. I still say we need more hours in a day to do everything we want to do! lol I've saved that beef & broccoli recipe to try, it sounds so delicious, better than the recipe I use!! xoxo
Hi Kelli, looks like your days have been very busy!
Your new room will be wonderful!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Hi Kelli,
Just gave you a Kreativ Blogger Award because you have one great bog :) Virtual hugs!
I just love all your fall decorations, they are so warmly beautiful! Looks like you are really busy with the house! Good Luck, may it go swiftly for you! Kerrie
Happy Thanksgiving.
Hi, I saw your link on Leigh's blog. I'm in Texas, too! Your blog is nice and all that autumn decor is so sweet.
I can't wait to see that room.
Hi Kelli!
Wow, you've been busy!
Your banana bread with that yummy icing looks scrumptious!!
Just wanted to stop by and tell you Happy Thanksgiving:)
Hope you and your family are well and happy...
Hugs...Jerelene
Hi Kelli. Just popping in to say hello. Looks like you will have a lot more room when the garage conversion is finished.
Hi there, I just happened upon your blog while searching for front porch Christmas decor ideas:) You remind me a lot of myself! I'm a homeschooling mom of one and farmer's wife in NY. I'm constantly doing projects in and around our home and this year I have an awesome new front porch, but can't decide how to decorate it!:)
Next we move onto our basement conversion project which will be our school/craft room! I'm so excited! Of course some more windows and doors too. However the basement is my fun project, much like your family room.
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Blessings~
Katie
I really like your Fall decorations. I look forward to seeing what you do for Christmas. You are so talented.
Love,
Marie
I really enjoyed your blog. I plan to visit again. Thanks for sharing.
The banana bread with the streusal topping looks so yummy!
Hi Kelli,
I hope you and your family had a happy Thanksgiving! :-)
Missing You..
