This Thanksgiving, I wanted to do something special for our cat, Rose. I have a Thanksgiving light up tree that I put up every year, but I wanted to turn it into a 'thankful tree' to appreciate our cat. I created some leaves for the tree that we could hang up on it every time Rose did something good. If Rose earned 5 leaves on the tree, we would fill her Temptations® Snacky Mouse with her favorite treats from MARS Pet at Walmart. If she was bad, we would take a leaf away... Rose tends to 'sneak' into our garage at times when I'm loading it up with the kids backpacks in the morning or unloading groceries. So, the thankful tree is to encourage good behavior and to show her that we appreciate her and are thankful for her good behavior!


Shop for Rewards for your Cat

I visited my local Walmart store to find some 'prizes' for my cat. I found the Temptations® Snacky Mouse and also purchased the Temptations® Classics Catnip Cat Treats.


How to Make Thankful Leaves
Untitled Untitled
To create the thankful leaves for our tree, I used my Silhouette Cameo. (If you don't have a Silhouette Cameo, you could find some clipart online, cut it out and use it as a stencil.) In the Silhouette store, I found a leaf charm template. I downloaded it and then sized it in Silhouette Studio. I wanted the leaves to be small, so that they didn't look too big when hung on the tree.

Once the leaves were sized, I selected Cut and Cardstock, since I was using scrapbook paper. You'll also want to make sure that you have your blade set to the correct number for cardstock.

This is what the leaves looked like after I printed them.

I took some twine and tied it around each leaf charm and placed them in a fall colored dish.


Setting up the Thankful Tree

I purchased this light up tree last year. I placed the tree in a glass vase with a scarf wrapped around the inside with wine corks inside to help keep the tree upright.

I kept the fall colored plate with the leaf charms on it next to the thankful tree. Each time Rose did something good, we placed a leaf charm on the thankful tree.

And, once Rose got 5 leaves on the tree, she got to enjoy treats in her Temptations® Snacky Mouse!

Rose really loves the taste of the Temptations® Classics Catnip Cat Treats.

I love my pet and I want to treat her to a happy Thanksgiving season.

My Invisalign Journey (Trays 9-15) and Progression Photos

Today I am going to share a little more about My Invisalign Journey with you. Back in May, I shared my first Invisalign post HERE and talked about my first 8 trays with Invisalign. Today I am going to share some information and progression photos for Trays 9-15. And, no, I am not done with Invisalign yet. After your first round of trays (I had 15 trays), they start revision trays. Unfortunately, I found out I have 18 revision trays... I am currently on tray 3 of those. I will continue to share updates as my progress continues. I talk about why I went with Invisalign and what the entire process was like in my first post (see link below). I am not going to repeat it all in this post, but I will share my progression photos with you. If you have any questions, be sure to let me know in the comments.

I haven't really set any specific goals for myself with half marathons, except to try to PR. However, I haven't PR'ed my 2:06 time in a couple years! After training ...

Y'all! I DID IT! 2016 Chicago Marathon Recap!!!

I am really excited to share this post with all of you today. I have been wanting to run a marathon for a really, really, REALLY long time. I was too afraid to do it, I was afraid I would fail. I started out running in 2009 after I had my daughter and signed up to run 500 miles in one year with friends I met on  Babycenter   I started out walking and running... but, I did it! I completed 500 miles in 2009. My first 5K was at our local zoo and then I branched out and did a Halloween 10K. After that, I signed up for my first half marathon here in St. Louis and my second half marathon was the Wine & Dine at Disney... My first half marathon time was 2:35 and my best has been 2:04 and a HUGE dream/goal of mine is to complete one in under 2:00 hours. But... first I toyed around with the idea of running a marathon.  All  of my running friends kept telling me to JUST DO IT. That I'd do just fine. But, I was sacred.... Finally, 7 years later I have RAN MY FIRST MARATHON! ...
