WEDDINGS
Planning a Winter Wedding
While spring remains the most popular
season in which to tie the knot, winter can be a beautiful time as
well. The clean, crisp air, sparkling snow and holiday mood all
combine to make winter a wonderful season in which to wed. Here are
some ideas to help you plan a spectacular winter wedding:
Theme
Choosing a theme makes planning your wedding easier. With a theme,
it's simple to choose colors and coordinate everything from your
attire to the decorations. Examples of winter wedding themes include
Christmas, Snowflake, and Winter Wonderland. For a Christmas themed
wedding, your color scheme would of course include red and green. A
snowflake theme would of course feature lots of crystal snowflakes.
For a Winter Wonderland theme, you could go for either frosty shades
of white and silver or deep jewel tones like sapphire, ruby or
emerald.
Location
There are many great places where you can hold your winter wedding.
A church is always a traditional choice. However, a country inn,
banquet hall, or even the home of a friend or family member can work
nicely also. For a romantic and magical experience, arrive at your
destination (or exit) in a horse drawn carriage.
Invitations
When choosing invitations, match them to your color scheme. You
could choose snowy white invitations adorned with embossed holly.
Or, go for navy blue invitations featuring engraved white
snowflakes. Make sure to include not only the wedding announcement
but the location, time and dress code. Always request an RSVP, as
it's much easier to plan when you know how many guests to expect.

Thanksgiving Games for Families
Paring Apples
This is a simple game that can make the task of peeling apples a
lot more fun! You'll need apples, as well as paring knives for
adults and safety peelers for children. The object of the game is
simple -- the person who peels the longest unbroken length of
apple skin is the winner!
Broom Dancing
This simple game needs only a broom to be played! Each person will
perform their own individual broom dance. The next person must
replicate their dance exactly. This is fun because you can easily
come up with some crazy movements for the next player to copy.
Plus, it's more challenging than it looks to copy someone's exact
movements. A camcorder is a must for this fun Thanksgiving family
game!

HOMEMADE GIFT IDEAS
Making Herbal Wreaths for Gift-Giving
Making the Wreath
To make a herbal wreath, you will need four or five freshly cut
pieces of your chosen herb that are at least a foot long. Two foot
lengths make a nicer sized wreath, however. Make a circle using one
piece. Just wind the thinner, more flexible end around the stiffer,
thicker end a few times to hold it in place. Then, take an
additional piece and weave it around the circle with the fat end
starting on the thinner side of the circle. Continue by weaving the
other pieces around the circle until it is securely fastened and
looks nice and full.
Make a loop in one end of a piece of picture wire. Fasten the other
end to the top of your wreath on the wrong side. This will be your
wreath hanger. It is important to do this now, since your wreath is
more fragile once it is dry. If you want to make a bow, now is the
time to add that, as well. I prefer my wreaths without bows, but
some people like a bit more color.
Drying the Wreath
Now, it is time to hang the completed wreath to dry. Choose a spot
that is out of direct sunlight and make sure there is no dampness.
The wreaths will take a week or so to thoroughly dry, and the room
where you dry them will smell terrific.
Packaging the Finished Wreath
When you give your wreaths as gifts, place them in a box with the
wrong side down. Transporting them loose or in bags results in a lot
of lost or broken leaves.
I usually hand write a tag for my wreaths telling what they are
useful for. For example, people can actually make tea with Lemon
Verbena leaves and Eucalyptus repels moths and mice. Of course,
people can also just hang their gifts on the wall and enjoy their
scent.
