TWiP: Ornament Season Begins ⋆ Polka Dot Cottage

Ah, Thanksgiving week. I have always loved Thanksgiving, both for the opportunity to gather with family, and as a harbinger of the Christmas season. But during years such as this one, where I have been gainfully employed, I have also come to appreciate Thanksgiving for the four-day weekend it provides 🙂

Lots of creative things happened this week, including the first steps towards filling some Family Portrait Ornament orders. Yep, I am making ornaments for the first time in six years! (Coincidentally, I discovered that there was also a 6-year gap the previous time I made them. So 2009, 2015, and 2021 have been ornament-making years – I’m hoping that the pattern doesn’t continue. It would be nice to make them more frequently than that.)

So, what is This Week in Pictures?

It’s a roundup of the little (and big!) moments I have captured all week. Some of these images are posted on Instagram, but many aren’t posted anywhere but here. Some days there may be no photos, and other days there may be multiples. It’s more laid back than the Project 365s of previous years. You can learn more here 🙂
