Day 14.....

I'm thankful for

(a great website full of wonderful ideas)

Christian has to take the snack for his class tomorrow, so I was checking on pinterest for a fun Thanksgiving idea that we could do together.

This is our little version of an idea we had found........

THEY ARE LITTLE THANKSGIVING INDIANS

FULL OF CANDY!

THEY WERE REALLY EASY TO MAKE

I JUST CUT OUT CIRCLES FROM A ROLL OF CRAFT PAPER

SEWED AROUND THE OUTSIDE, LEAVING A 1" SPACE

TO PUT THE CANDY IN.

THEN I FILLED IT UP, STUCK THREE LITTLE FEATHERS IN THE OPENING,

STAPLED THEM & THE OPENING SHUT

THEN HOT-GLUED SOME GOOGLY EYES ON AND DREW

A HEADBAND AND A SMILE.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE TURKEY IF YOU ONLY HAD TO DO 6 OR 7.

BUT DOING 22, WE TRIED TO MAKE IT EASIER

THUS, THE INDIAN!

THANKFUL FOR PINTEREST!

Day 15.....

I'm Thankful for approaching holidays

It's November 16th and time to be getting out all the Christmas stuff.

Not putting it up yet, just getting ready!!!!

Last year I found some awesome 75% off deals.

What's even more awesome is that I had forgotten about them!

So............

When I looked in this one box, It was like an early Christmas present!

GREAT STUFF for a GREAT PRICE at that.

It was so exciting. I look forward to next week when I have a whole day

to decorate the house and make it feel all Chritmasy and wonderful.

I will put on my new CD by Jim Brickman,

light my gingerbread candle,

and make some magic!

I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS

Day 16.....

Since this is the THANKFUL month and I've been thinking about all the things I'm thankful for, I decided to send my kids who are not living with us each a special card titled............

"10 Things I Love about You"

It's been hard not being able to see them as often as we used to. I still think about them, worry about them, & pray for them often. I have a desire to leave them "part of me" as life seems to pass quickly.

My testimony, my thoughts, my feelings, my loves, my talents etc.

I hope they save what's important to them but mostly I hope they all remember how much I have loved being their mother.

Day 17.....

I'm thankful for yummy fruit!

One of my favorite foods
