One.
Last Sunday was all cold and blustery here in the Midwest, so when I happened upon this post with ideas for layering outfits, it caught my attention. It was the kind of day that called for warm shirts...and jackets...and scarves...and big blankets over all of that, actually. I do love a good layering prompt in the winter. My thermostat is so unpredictable! Also, only about 3 years late to the game, I'm starting to like the cheetah/leopard prints.

I love happening upon new (to me) little shops, so I adored this post that The Nester shared. She had to cancel her festival this year but she shared links to all the vendors who had planned to be there. Tons of cute shops for you to check out - and maybe do a little shopping of your own!
Three.
Tracy mentioned this in her comments yesterday, so I'm passing it along to you! (It was news to me, so thanks, Tracy!) Zoom is lifting the 40 minute limit for free calls on Thanksgiving, so if you're away from friends and family that day and want a little extra time to talk with them, check it out!

Here's a super cute printable from Etsy! If you're handing out some thank you gifts over the next week, this one can accompany absolutely anything!
Five.
Speaking of Etsy...I have another shop to share with you! Katie, who hangs out here on the Shafferland blog, has a very talented husband who also has an Etsy shop. He makes these beautiful wooden ornaments and lanterns, and they are QUALITY!! Beautiful, classy, and timeless. We now have the lantern set for the WillowBridge community room, and I am SO EXCITED about it! (And if I had kids - or a classroom - I'd be getting that fractions set! That's adorable and practical all at once.)

Why I didn't think to look for something like this sooner, I don't know. But here are some ideas for celebrating Thanksgiving with friends or family from a distance. Contests, recipes, and more - all in a creative way! Maybe you can still add in something from this list, even though time is short?

What fun distanced Thanksgiving ideas. I forgot about the 40 minute limit. The perk of my zoom account being tied to a school!
Good ideas for Thanksgiving. I might need to come up with something fun. Maybe my brother and I can play Scrabble together over Zoom or FaceTime.
Thanks for the kind words on my work.

I love the wooden ornaments. They're gorgeous. And I still don't like animal prints so even though they're in right now, I will never wear leopard print!
Tamar - YES! We have an account through work, but we don't use it for personal use, so we get cut off if we do use it.
Tracy - Weird fact: for being a word nerd, I'm TERRIBLE at Scrabble.
Bob - You are welcome! Thank YOU for the blessing!
Natasha - I'm just now coming around to animal prints. It's been how many years now? So that probably means they're headed out. That's how it usually goes for me.
