Hello Thanksgiving!

Now that we moved passed Halloween, we're gearing up for Thanksgiving. I'm turning these two into cook-o-holics and craft-o-holics. They always want to know what we're going to make when they come over.

 

This week our project involves glue stick, glitter, and a bag of silk leaves from Walmart.

 

After spreading glue on the leaf,

Hailey and Makayla poured glitter onto the gluey leaf. Liberally. 

 

Some of the glitter actually landed on the leaf.

 

You'll be relieved to see Makayla's concentration tongue in action.

 

Hailey had half day at school today and helped me hang the finished glitter leaves from twine and hang them on the armoire.

 

Yep, everything looks cute!

 

Here's the close-up.

 Remember the rustic wooden box from September?

 

I stained one dark brown and gave Makayla and Hailey "Thanksgiving Filler" and let them go to town.

 

They had lots of fun arranging things

 

and they are pleased as punch at the results.

 

Their crafting skills amaze even them.

Here's the close-up.

 

It's got real(ly fake) candles, artfully placed.

 

There you go! Ready for the next holiday!
