Yarn Fanatic Party #53 – Final Day – The Rainy Apple Shoppe Yarn Giveaway

November 30, 2015

Welcome to the 53rd Yarn Fanatic Link Party, and my 36th as co-host, alongside Rachel from The Philosopher’s Wife.


First off, HAPPY [late] THANKSGIVING!! Well, to my friends here in the states. How was your holiday and crazy holiday weekend? Eat too much, and spend a lot of time in traffic and big crowds over the last few days? You can read about my Thanksgiving in my Happy Thanksgiving from EyeLoveKnots post, but as far as Black Friday shopping that was a no this year. In years past, I really look forward to going to my local JoAnn’s Arts and Craft Store on Black Friday. Why? 1.) Not much more business than a normal weekend day, since everyone else is out shopping for electronics and whatnot; 2.) Everything is on sale! Including Christmas decor.
This year though, I was looking forward to getting some of my things organized and Chad’s arrival home from visiting with family out of town. As many of you know, I recently moved. LOTS of my things are still in boxes in the garage, and I don’t know where much is. I took the opportunity on Black Friday to go through some boxes, find new places for my things and put things aside for donation. I am proud to say that I have donated four totes full of items so far. I also took out my beautiful 6 foot Christmas Tree pre-lit with multi-colored lights, but when I plugged it in, only some of my lights were working – ugh! I kept it up until Chad got home, but after he started laughing at it, I decided it was time to get rid of it and get a new Christmas Tree for my new home.
We waited until 6:30pm to go out – hoping things had died down out – and it had! We went to Big Lots and got a little 3 foot topiary. It was pre-lit, came with ornaments on it already and was on sale so we took advantage. I don’t know if I am sold on it yet, but it was cute and affordable.  
We also went out to Barnes and Noble for coffee and reading. It’s a normal part of our week, and nice to get away and relax. A little choir group from one of the local high schools was there singing Christmas songs. It was neat.


Since Week 2 of the Yarn Fanatic Party #53, I have been very busy working on and finishing up some projects – none of which are going towards Christmas Gifts – procrastination is a terrible trait, hehe. Find them listed here in order of appearance, first to last.

We will be taking a break for the month of December as many of us are going to be busy getting ready for Christmas, making gifts and baking, and visiting with friends and family.

      I know it's hard to participate in link ups around this time of the year – so busy with a million other things. I appreciate you stopping by and dropping me a line. Happy Holidays to you as well!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.

Meet the Team!
