We're grateful for you!

And we decided to show it!



So we made this Thanksgiving printable for you, for free!  To print the image, right click on it and save to your hard drive.  You can then print it on photo paper or order it to your favorite lab (we always use Costco) in a 5 x 7, 8 x 10, and 11 x 14.  We would also be grateful if you let us know if you like the print or use it at all!  Dot has an 11 x 14 framed and we're using small prints as favors for our Thanksgiving guests.

More Last Minute Thanksgiving Crafts...this one is for the little ones!

Ok, you know you love them. Those messy little hands that you just can't get enough of...well maybe sometimes your fridge and windows and walls can get enough of them... but you can never get enough of their sweet little fingers. So I thought--actually I probably was talking out loud to myself while walking through the aisles of Target---I need to make those little hands into grateful turkeys so I will always remember how grateful I was.
So this easy and fun craft will use very little supplies and very little brain function. You can also have your little turkeys help out for even more fun.


Here are your supplies:
canvas (or piece of cardstock0
Paint and brush
hand (any size will do but the smaller the better!)
tulle squares (or tissue paper just like you used to use in elementary school)
glue (I used hot glue but if you have little ones help I would say go for a different glue choice)
embellishments of choice


How to:
Paint canvas if you want. Then paint the turkey (aka hand) and place into the right spot on canvas. Cut the tulle or tissue into squares and once turkey is dry, wrap the squares around a pencil and stick in place on each finger with glue until all fingers are covered like feathers. Embellish as you wish. Easy Peasy!!

Now go enjoy your little turkeys as long as you can!!

Last Minute Thanksgiving gift/craft/decoration!




Last week I needed to come up with a cute, CHEAP, quick gift in the spirit of Thanksgiving for a friend.  I had just made a bookpage birthday wreath and it was looking so cute that I decided it could do double duty.  I don't have all the photos for a tutorial (because it needed to be done, like, yesterday!) so I will refer you to an awesome one at Funky Junk Interiors that is a similar one to mine.

And then I just threw on a cute turkey I'd made with my Cricut.  Super easy, cost nothing since I used materials I had and fast!  Hope this idea helps you out!
