I had a whole lot of ideas for Thanksgiving but we are running a little late.
I used this book to see what is out there.
Some crafts in it are easy enough for 3 year olds. Some are more involved which is more interesting to 4-7 year olds.
I usually see something I like and make something my own inspired by what I've seen. Today Pumpkin and I made salt dough ornaments(not from the above listed book).
To make salt dough you will need:
1 cup salt
11/4 cup water
3 cups flour
Dissolve the salt in the water and add the flour. Ta-da! Done!
Use cookie cutters, rolling pins, play-dough tools to work with it. This is art so anything goes. After you are done decorating your ornaments, put them on the cookie sheet covered with parchment paper and bake at 300F till they are hard (about 40 minuts, maybe more). Paint the cooled off ornaments with acrylics or even tempera paint. If you want to add that extra shiny finish, coat them with Mod Podge.
These are our Thanksgiving Turkey and a Rose(there is always room for roses, no matter what occasion it is ;))

Hello -
I am a casting for a major cable network and we are currently looking for outgoing and dynamic super moms who can show us how fun, busy, exciting and hectic it is to be an elementary school mom.
We are looking for moms with great personalities that play an active role in their child's education and school activities. We have been talking with the National PTA and they seem very excited about this opportunity.
Please feel free to contact me anytime and feel free to pass my info along to those you see fit. I have attached a one sheet for you to review and pass along. If you wouldn't mind posting it on your site it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Nice crafting hands there. Way back when I was in the university, I really love to do these kind of stuff. You just need to have a little bit of patience and a lot of time if you really want your work to be that nice and neat. Anyway, nice work you have there.
