Thinking of Thanking AND Crafts, Recipes and Cool Stuff

I was thinking today that I have a lot to be thankful for this year. SOOOO SOOOO SOOOOO MUCH!!! I thought that it would be good to list a few of the things that I am MOST thankful.

1- A Loving Heavenly Father

2- A Wonderful Savior

3- The Hubby and the kids

4- My extended family

5- A wonderfully loving church family, especially Momma Hope.

6- The Hubby's new job

7- My new found sewing "skills" (such as they are)

8- My AWESOME readers

9- Packers so I don't have to pack a thing

10- Pain killers because my tooth is acting up again



And since I am thinking of thanking, that leads me to Thanksgiving! Right around the corner!!!! I thought that I would dig through my Pinterest boards and see what wonderful goodies are lurking in there for this special holiday.

Here we go!

Thanksgiving book list for kids



As it says, it was compiled by In Lieu of Preschool.

I think I would add a few though, The Giving Tree,  I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie and Pilgrim Cat.







Here is an easy kids craft from Freekidscrafts.com







70 spectacular Thanksgiving sides from Southern Living.







Here's another cute turkey craft. This one comes from Busy Kids = Happy Mom





A turkey breadbasket from Family Fun.







Ooooh, Pumpkin Pafaits!!! I need to show this to my cousin! Hey, Sandra!! Looky here!! LOL

Oh, and this comes from Living Wright at Home.

Here is a tutorial from Infarrantly Creative for a glitter pumpkin place card holder! TOO CUTE!! You could even make a BIG one for a center piece!







SUPER cute children's craft, Indian corn napkin ring from Preschool Crafts for Kids. I would say that this craft would be great for older kids, too, not just for preschoolers. ;)







From The Cottage Home. I am definitely going to give this one a try!!!
