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.

5 Ways to Bring Spring Into Your Home

The weather here in St. Louis has gone from 70 degrees to tornado watches/warnings and now to possible snow/ice this weekend. Whew! I am SO ready for Spring and for Daylight Saving Time. Today I'm sharing with you how to bring Spring to your home sooner with 5 Ways To Bring Spring Into Your Home . Bringing a little Spring into your home is rather easy. You don't need to change up your entire decor, at least not yet... What I try to do is add little touches here and there. 1. Spring Wreaths One way that I bring Spring into my home is by placing a Spring wreath on my front door or on some of the interior doors in the home. My absolute favorite Spring wreath that I've done is my Split Pea Wreath below, but I'm currently working on a Tulip wreath which I'll be sharing in a couple of weeks! I'm also sharing a couple of other Spring wreaths that I've made below: Split Pea Wreath with Burlap Bow Some other Spring wreaths I've designed:   Simple Spring Hoop Wrea...

November Monthly Goals

Happy Halloween everyone! We are going to have weather in the mid-70's today, so trick or treating tonight will be nice! Everyone enjoy your day and stay safe... I know I'll be stuffing my face full of my favorite Halloween candies (Snickers, PB Cups, etc., etc.) all day. ;) This year I've decided to set  three monthly goals  for myself each month. These will be lighter goals that I should be able to finish within the month. I used to do yearly resolutions, but I wanted to try out monthly goals this year. I am really enjoying it so far and I feel like I accomplished a lot with my January-October Goals. The recap for my October Goals will be at the bottom of this post. Here are my November Goals! 1.  Decorate House for Christmas I have a Holiday Home Tour I am doing with some other bloggers in early December and I wanted to get a head start on my Christmas decor. I always decorate the weekend after Thanksgiving, but we are going to be busy and it'd be nice to decorate BE...
