Kids Table

I used kraft paper on the table. Drew an outline of a frame around the plates for the kids to color if they wanted.
I used a Cricut Expression machine to make the silohuettes for the table. There were a boy and girl pilgrim, leaf, turkey and Mayflower shape. We also printed off some coloring sheets for the kids and put under their plates.

Jar of crayons with the silohuettes.



A masterpiece!

We know who's sitting here!





Napkin Rings

These are the napkin rings that I made for our Thanksgiving table.
I used a rubber stamp for the leaf and then acrylic stamps for the words. I put a little glitter on the leaf too. Then I used ribbon to thread thru.

All completed!

Baking GALS

www.bakinggals.com
I recently joined Baking Gals to help support our military. It is just a small way to say THANK YOU to all of those serving.
I made sugar cookie cut-outs shaped like turkey's, with frosting and sprinkles and some dark chocolate brownies.


This is me ready to ship my package of goodies to my military girl.

TRASH to TREASURE


If you are here from Gooseberry Patch, thank you for visiting!  This was my winning post on what I did with old windows. 








I found these windows sitting at the end of someone's driveway-FREE for the taking. I'm thinking I could do something with those. Not sure what, but, I will think of something. So, for Trick or Treat tonight, I used window paint and wrote on them for the trick or treaters to come into our enclosed porch to get their candy. It was cold outside!

Halloween school treat

Spiders I made for O.'s class party.
We just used Tootsie Roll pops, black pipe cleaners and 10mm googly eyes.

We then put them in a brown lunch bag and she decorated them with Halloween stickers.

Yummy treats for a Halloween party

Pretzels dipped in orange colored, white chocolate with sprinkles. This is a see thru paint can from Michael's that I just added a piece of scrapbook paper to put into it.
MUMMY pretzels dipped in chocloate with mini M&M's for eyes and wrapped in white frosting. They turned out pretty darn cute!


Cupcakes with mini marshmallow heads and frosting bodies for the SKELETONS!
