One of the things that sets Get Away Today apart from other agencies is that fact that our agents explore our most popular vacation destinations. In fact, right now we have two agents on their way to Turks & Caicos and one headed to Mexico! But, our biggest trip of the year is to California…
Hey,’ Or so she says …’ friends! It’s Cathy from Lemon Tree Dwelling, and I’m so excited to be back with you today… sharing my first Christmas post!

What are some of your favorite Thanksgiving traditions? Do you have many? We have several at our house. This tradition came from my first grade teaching days. My cooperating teacher shared this idea with me. Each year at Thanksgiving our first grade class would reenact the first Thanksgiving dinner. We would weave place mats, make Pilgrim…
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at my house! When you’re a crafter (especially a craft blogger), you have to get a head start. Don’t worry, I haven’t put up the tree or anything… yet. Anyway, I’m so excited to show you this snow globe Christmas ornament that I made. Doesn’t it just make you want to light a fire, snuggle up, and listen to Christmas carols?
I made it using a clear plastic ball ornament that I found at Hobby Lobby. Unlike a regular ball ornament, this one splits in half so you can fit bigger things inside of it. So many possibilities! The little house ornament and the fake snow came from Michael’s.

Jessica is one of my newest contributors. I was first drawn to her craft blog because of how colorful and happy everything is. From felt creations, to family parties, to sewing projects, she has a knack for creating projects your kids will love. But, her skills go beyond the kid creations, as she has a whole bunch of unique craft projects for the home. She’s amazingly talented and creative, and I’m so lucky to have her here. I look forward to many more of her projects in the next year. Be sure to check out her blog, Cutesy Crafts, follow her on Facebook and Pinterest.
Here are a few of my favorite posts from Jessica’s blog…
“We’re Thankful for Pie Night!” It’s okay to be thankful for pie, right? It makes everything in the world good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself!
We celebrate Pie Night on Thanksgiving Eve (Wednesday night) because, honestly after a big nice Thanksgiving dinner who has any room left for pie? This way we can have all the pie we want & then will still be hungry for Thanksgiving dinner the next day. Win, win I tell ya! We have every family invited bring their favorite pie & then we go to town. If we’re not with family for Thanksgiving we have a nice Pie Night at our home with our friends. Such a great tradition!!

Hello everyone. I’m Anne from Circus Berry. I am very excited and honored to be a part of the Or So She Says team, sharing some fun crafts and DIY with you each month!
I am a perpetual crafter, decorator, and inventor of reasons to have celebrations everyday. I live outside of Buffalo, NY with my husband, two kids, and dog. My professional career began as a Speech-Language Pathologist, but I have had a flair for DIY, decor, crafts, entertainment, food, and drink for as long as I can remember. After a few untimely layoffs in the past couple of years I took lemons and made lemonade, taking my other passions to the next level and starting my own party-styling and design business. The Circus Berry blog is my natural extension of that business, where I share inspiration for food, drink, party, DIY, home style, photography, and all around fun. Stop over to see the crazy, the creative, and the spark-tacular!
I have always enjoyed making hair pretties for my daughter…heck, for myself. With Thanksgiving coming and the very trendy feather being so popular right now, I crafted a quick felt feather headband that I am excited to be sharing today.

Happy Sunday!!
I just finished reading a wonderful book to my kids. Have you heard of the book, Wonder by R.J. Palacio? I really had no idea what to expect from it, just that it must be good, with thousands of five-star reviews. Turns out, we loved it too! It’s the story of a young boy, with a serious facial deformity. He has avoided public schools, up until the 5th grade, when he hesitantly decides he’s ready to give it a shot. As expected, there are some rough moments for him, and some moments that are downright horrible. But, the book is filled with tender moments and great examples of love.
On Saturdays, I’m spotlighting the wonderful contributors I have here at ‘Or so she says…’. I really, really love my gals. They’re all super talented and great to work with, so it’s easy to brag about them.
