Holiday email party (room tour of my kitchen inside!)
Hello, Reader!
Finally! We had a couple of days of cool weather and it was blissful! I am a fall/winter weather girl all, but I live in the oh-so-hot-and-humid state of Texas🔥🤠. So, I spend the summer counting down the days until... well, now!
Today's newsletter feels like a little holiday party in an email... but, maybe it's just because I've been immersed in the holiday mood for weeks now with music, decor & watching the oh-so-predictable Hallmark holiday movies.
(Quick side note for my fellow holi-rom lovers: If you're a fan of those corny holiday romances too, you can grab Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas Calendar here. And, if you run out of Hallmark movies, you might checkout the Great American Christmas' Countdown here. )
🎶What does every Christmas party need? Some holiday tunes! 🎶
(If you also subscribe to my other newsletter, That PLR Girl, I shared this playlist on Monday.)
So if you are doing any holiday projects, give this a listen:

🎄And now, for that part of the party where the hostess shows you around... (video link is below)
I promised last week I'd be sharing photos as we decorated.
We are taking our time going room-by-room though...
The kitchen dining area is my daughter's domain when it comes to Christmas. She has a very clear vision of what she wants to do each year, so I move out of the way and let her do it. (And occasionally, I hop on Amazon or run to Dollar General for supplies required by her vision! lol)
And, she loves fixing her "cocoa bar" up for every season, but the winter update is the highlight for her.
Here's a teeny little video glimpse of what we've got going on around here....
(I'd love to see your photos if you've started decorating. Let me know if I can share them in the newsletter!)
And, there are party favors too...
🎁Faith's Grow Together Giveaway is actually ending tomorrow, so if you haven't grabbed your (FREE) goodies yet, it's time to head on over.
There are two goodie bags to choose from--personal-use and PLR--and both are packed full of good things! Check it out right here.
☃️And, here's a little party chit-chat...
I've got a helpful holiday share for you.
If you prep for Black Friday Sales, check out the Best Black Friday Deals update.
Although, I don't usually sign up for text alerts from retail stores, I do get The Krazy Coupon Lady's deal notifications.
She does a great job of curating all the hot deals & it saves me a lot of effort.
(If you are a bargain hunter like me, I'd recommend signing up for her notifications. She only sends out 1 or 2 texts per day usually, but I've grabbed some great deals over the last year that I wouldn't have known were even available! She WILL save you some Christmas cash.)
She's got a lot of the November sale dates and deals already up. Just click here.
And that's it for today... just wanted to share some fun stuff & let you know how much I value you being part of this newsletter and community! Thank you.
Until next time,
P.S. If you skipped to the bottom, here's what you missed in this email holiday party: 2 lists of Christmas movies, a music playlist, a sneak peek video of my kitchen, a reminder to check out Faith Lee's giveaway, and a hot tip on how to find the best holiday deals. Scroll on up to check it all out!
P.P.S. I really do want to see some peeks at YOUR decorating this season!
Hello Reader, You may or may not know this, but in addition to everything I share with you about memory-keeping and celebrations, I also run a business creating templates for people to use and resell. And as part of that, I have a membership filled with creative resources—from ready-made templates to gorgeous graphics—that help people create stunning seasonal printables with ease. It suddenly occurred to me that some of you might love this too! Whether you:✔️ Create seasonal printables for...
Hi, Reader! Today is the day!!! The Home Harmony Bundle is finally live & it won't cost you a penny to get it!

This was a true project-from-the-heart for me as it's focused on my favorite things: family and holidays. The Home Harmony Bundle is packed with unique digital...
Hi Reader, No matter how hard I wish for the holiday to eek by slowly, it doesn't seem to happen... it just goes by so quickly! I'm one of those people that loves to see retail stores putting out the Christmas stuff. It can never be too early for me! But, this is year, I noticed Black Friday sales have seemed different. I'm noticing a lot of companies have already launched their Black Friday sales. Not just sales to lead up to it--but their actual Black Friday promotions are live. As a...
