Are you thinking about Christmas yet?
I know it seems early, but it’s really not. November is just around the corner and that means Thanksgiving is right here on top of us and then right after Thanksgiving is Christmas. Accckkkk, how did that happen so quickly?!
I will admit that my pet peeve is retailers who set up Christmas in July. I just can’t stand that. I know it’s strictly a marketing tool, but it just makes me crazy to see all the Christmas decor out so early. Why can’t we enjoy our Holidays as they come?? OK, I’m off my soapbox now. 🙂
It was an honor to be a part of the bloggers who were asked to contribute projects for style icon, Matthew Mead’s new Holiday magazine, which will be coming out on November 1st. I’m so excited to be a part of the first edition, which hopefully will not be the last.
In anticipation of this brand new Holiday magazine launch, I’m so thrilled to have one of my projects from the blog featured in there and we’ll all be seeing it soon. Some of your favorite bloggers will be participating and highlighted too with their own special projects. I’ll give you a little hint. Mine has something to do with candy. 
I can’t wait to get my copy. Just a reminder if you haven’t order your magazine yet, they are only on sale at the Holiday with Matthew Mead website, so click over if you’re interested in your own copy. 
It is sure to be filled with inspiring decor, crafts and things to get us in the mood for Christmas. I can’t wait!
Beloved blogger, Nie-Nie will be featured in the magazine too. Such an inspiration to us all.
Matthew’s attention to details is second to none. 
I will be getting my own copy in the mail very soon and when that day comes, I’ll be hosting a giveaway right here, so stay tuned for that later!
Merry Christmas! 🙂
I actually entered a giveaway for this book/magazine, but if I don’t win I do plan on buying one. I”ll probably just do that once that giveaway ends, so that I know I will have my copy. I’m betting it is going to be very popular and a “go to” resource this holiday season! Congrats on being in it, Rhoda! I’m really looking forward to seeing those I “know” in it.
Yay for being featured in the magazine! Looking forward to seeing a copy. Have a great week!
Can’t wait for my copy!! Did you know that I got the opportunity to interview him?? He’s such a talent, as are you!
You go girl! How great for you. Can’t wait to see.
How exciting for you to be featured in the magazine! I will hope to WIN a copy and if not definitely buy one!!!! XO, Pinky
i am patiently awaiting mine too! 🙂
Congratulations on the feature Rhoda! I have already ordered my copy and can’t WAIT to get it!!

Rhoda,
Congratulations on your invitation to join this inspiring and talented group. I look forward to Nov. 1st. For now, we are taking advantage of a reasonable pace and warm Indian Summer days before the holidays.
Great to visit with you.

I too, don’t like to be rushed into Christmas. I don’t celebrate Halloween, but the love the autumn season. Thanksgiving is so wonderful and I can’t stand it to be eclipsed by a holiday a whole month away. In some years past, I have let Christmas take on gargantuan proportions and discovered a dis-heartening post-holiday letdown. So now I try to keep things in perspective and remember to enjoy January. That being said, Christmas decorating trumps all other eye candy! I looooove Christmas crafts, cooking, ornaments, and such. Opening a well-photographed and edited magazine is like peeling back the tissue paper on an intriguingly-wrapped Christmas present. Hmmm… just thinking about it, I think I smell gingerbread……
Congratulations — can’t wait to see your candy project. 🙂 Will be looking for the issue as well. Thank you for introducing me to Matthew Mead’s site as well.
Hi Rhoda, how exciting for you! I just checked it out and I can’t wait to get a copy myself! Thanks for sharing and I’ll be looking forward to seeing you on the pages. Love your blog,.
You go girl, how great for you. Can’t wait to see!!!!!!!!
yes, I too have a hard time racing to the next holiday! Can we just enjoy one at a time! I am already stressing out about Thanksgiving! And Halloween hasn’t even came yet!
On another note…Such darling ideas! I love the pops of color! And how exciting you will be featured! You deserve it!
How awesome to have a feature in Holiday! Congrats Rhoda! I ordered my copy and can’t wait to get it. I don’t think it’s too early to start thinking Christmas- this year will be our first with a little baby- so fun!
Christmas will be here before we know it! I love all the photos, especially the one with the drink in the snowman mug. Now what little kid would not love to come home from school and have that waiting for them? Ok, I would too!
