around the house

I took out a few of our Thanksgiving things,

even though we won't be home for the actual holiday.

leaf garlands

A wooden sign I painted a few years ago



more pumpkins,
filled with jelly bean/corn favors
left over from our cousins party


Some Pilgrims




My cornucopia, which I found hidden

in a remote corner at a Ross store about 3 years ago.

I fill it with a few flowers from Michael's and it looks so pretty!

Indian noise-makers we made at

Family Day at the San Bernardino County Museum.

The kids are making

handmade cards with

stickers, cardstock, ribbon, a hole punch.



pipe cleaner turkeys:
all you need is a few colored pipe cleaners
and a little imagination!

Collages of the "food groups" they'd like to see

at our Thanksgiving feast!



Felted woodland creatures with a little help from Martha:







Teepees for their Indian Village

made from paper plates, construction paper,
paint and a few twigs from the yard.




Hope you're finding some time to
enjoy the simple things too!
