This was a gift I made for my friend Sandy. Its a wooden frame (one of those $1.99 frames you would get at any craft stores) Ive painted it black and then sanded it all over to give it that aged look. I then stitched the "Give Thanks" on a linen piece of fabric with embroidery thread and placed it in the frame and added the flower on the side.

Burlap stocking

I have seen these stockings in some catologs lately so I decided to make one for the fun of it. This was an old burlap sack that was laying around the house collecting dust, now its a stylish country stocking.

Pumpkin Spice Latte

Makes 2 servings

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon of pumpkin puree

1 cup of milk (whole milk if you dare)

1/2 tablespoon of light brown sugar (packed and leveled)

1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg (+ a pinch for dusting later)

1/8 teaspoon of ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups of strong coffee (you can also use a shot or two of espresso instead of coffee)

4 tablespoons of coffeemate creamer

4 to 8 teaspoon of granulated sugar

whipped cream

Begin brewing coffee.

In a blender puree the milk, pumpkin, cinnamon, cloves, brown sugar and vanilla.

Pour mixture into a small saucepan and cook over low heat or until the milk is warm and begins to froth slightly. (About 4-5 mins.) Remove from heat.

For each serving: Divide the mixture between two mugs and add 2 tablespoons of coffeemate creamer in each mug. Add the brewed coffee to both mugs. After the brewed coffee you can add 2-4 teaspoons of granulated sugar ( Depending on how sweet you like your coffee, I added 3 teaspoons.) Ster until sugar dissolves. Top off the latte now with a little whipped cream and a pinch of nutmeg. Serve immediately.
