Best of the Weekend
Welcome to Best of the Weekend! We are glad that you are here and are starting your weekend with us.
I hope that you had a good Thanksgiving and that you enjoyed spending time with family. Now it’s time to enjoy the anticipation of Christmas!
I don’t talk about my cancer often here but I do want to let you know that I recently had scans and for now all is well. I can’t express how anxious scans make me because I know that it is only a matter of time before my cancer outsmarts my medicine and starts to grow again. It was a big relief when my oncologist walked into the room and gave me a thumbs up.
It is our pleasure to host the Best of the Weekend party each Friday night at 8 pm.
We would love for you to follow our blogs and also follow us on social media.

Let’s Get this Party Started!
Each week the most popular post from last week’s party is featured on all of our blogs. Each hostess also picks a few favorites from the previous week to share. Be sure to check out all of our blogs to see our features. It’s a great way to get ideas and to get inspired!
What I Shared This Week
I shared my Traditional Southern Christmas Mantel on a week-long Christmas Ideas Tour. Each day had a theme: Monday was Mantels; Tuesday was Tablescapes; Wednesday was DIY/Craft Ideas; Thursday was Christmas Trees; and Friday Christmas Recipes were shared. I so much enjoyed this tour and the ideas shared.
I also shared a DIY Patchwork Wood Wreath that I made for November’s Power Tool Challenge Secret Santa exchange. It’s so much fun to make a woodworking project for our Secret Santa partner. Take a look at the projects made and try to guess which might be mine. I won’t know until it arrives in the mail!

So glad you had a good report! I follow you on instagram normally,so I didn’t see this update when you posted it. I completely understand the stress of having the scans – like you, I try really hard not to stress about them but it’s hard not to.
Happy Spring!

Thank you, Karen! It is so hard not to stress over those tests. I hope that you are also doing well.
