We’re all busy with Thanksgiving preparations, whether it’s meal planning & prep, decorating the house and table, setting up beds for guests, packing our luggage, or just finding your biggest pants.
I would like to wish you all
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Okay, so I’ve never planned a Thanksgiving menu, but I imagine now is a good time to gather your options.
Here are some recipes I’ve been gathering on Pinterest:
Making a Fabulous Thanksgiving Table November 12, 2013
Posted by Sindy in Fashion, Holidays, Home Decor.add a comment
So Thanksgiving is fast approching, and (almost) any crafter is feverishly looking for the perfect Thanksgiving table craft. I found a couple great videos to help you with that:
simpleDIYs has a great series testing Pinterest crafts. In this video she tries the “Decorate a mug with a Sharpie” tip. Result: Use an oil-based paint Sharpie, not your normal Sharpie, but it does work. Also, draw on the outside of whatever dish you’re decorating (not the eat-from side), and put the mug into a cold oven. I can’t wait to make some of these myself!
Mark Montano is one of my favorite YouTube crafters. This video on thestylishvids channel shows how to make a Thanksgiving table so easily that even the macho Thanksgiving-bird-carver can do it!
If you liked those plates Mark did, you have to check out these other plates. I think they are FABULOUS!
And I just can’t do a post about Thanksgiving crafts without this awesome video, again from Mark Montano.
You Don’t Have to Write a Novel to Celebrate Nanowrimo November 5, 2013

It’s Nanowrimo! Nanowrimo stands for National Novel Writing Month. No, you don’t have to write a novel this November, but it’s a great time to work on writing, drawing, or any project you’ve been wanting to do for a long time.
What am I planning to do this month? A lot. Christmas is coming so I thought I’d work on a story for Christmas. I also want to work on an official Imaginator Sindy website, a story for my blog readers, and finish some stories to send to an agent. I probably won’t get it all done this month, and that’s okay, but I will try my hardest to get them ALL done.
What you can do for Nanowrimo (that doesn’t include writing a novel):
- Try to work on a project you’ve been wanting to do but never got around to doing
- Set a nice, big goal for this month, whether it’s related to reading or not
- Write a story, draw a picture, or simply write a letter
- Have a special day (or a party) based on one of your favorite books
- Pick one of your favorite books and list why you like it
Or, if you really do want to write an entire novel, here’s a great resource from Brent Sanderson, author of the Mistborn series, teaches at BYU and shares videos of his lectures online for free. http://www.writeaboutdragons.com/brandon_w2012/
NOTE: You’ll want to use the menus in the top right corner of the website because the links on the page don’t work.
