what I do when I am bored and FAQ.............

  Today I am sick of being sick. But today I am happy cause last night I got to go see; 

Oh,yes,I was laughing,and trying not to cry,but you can't help it (which crying with a cold isn't very good.)

I'll probably do a review on it soon.But for those of you who have seen it what was your favorite part. (without giving anything away to my other readers who haven't seen it.) Mine probably was when 2 policemen have to guys in the back seat...;).......and the daughter dancing scene.    Okay, moving on to what I do when I'm bored......   <center><a href="asimplefarmgirl.blogspot.com"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRS6HlrUtxX-O5R0P4WZRTYza-oRryG7v0V_F6iLIG9AraDH0aaLyS7va7NHwTuOemJDKLlIRI-NGMD9h6VFD-0K1wQ_wt_2iQ7k0CtgFaCK-wcR3wBmQHzOM_ehtxqfvu9vyJBKvTJH0/s1600/bb3.jpg" /></a></center>       <center><a href="asimplefarmgirl.blogspot.com"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhokoknGlA67J0P1ALvju4zvQup3KUZX8Z5hpszia74HXJnEt3htOESkRVyCSMIPfYHPH-OSm8uUXF88hcNqg8aUM3cUyt4cWilAzD-oXGT3mrDe3PrHS3rl8i8W3LouOpcj7LTY5W2fJQ/s1600/if.jpg" /></a></center>   So yeah,when I'm bored I make myself some blog buttons. 0_o boring in itself really,but I 've been wanting to make myself some new ones. Which of the 2 are your favorite?   I do have something exciting to make this post not oh,so boring,I'm going to be getting a sister-in-law! Yup,I am super excited.Aren't they a lovely couple,even though this photo is horrible.Tip: never take a photo the night of Thanksgiving before someone is on their way out the door. But yeah,I just couldn't get excited and tell you all without a photo.Next year is such along way to wait,to be a bridesmaid once again my 3rd time. YAHOO!    I want to make a FAQ page,so if you all have any questions go ahead and ask in a comment below.I'm just going to collect some for a while before I post the page though. So yeah, that about sums up this post.  All of you, have a wonderful night and week.

Probably not,but I am. I'm shocked that so many people like my blog. Thank you to all my awesome followers.    

I'll be wearing.......

   

(my bedroom/bed decor......I'm probably going to change it for christmas though.)  I was thinking of what I'll wear for thanksgiving,and I thought about this; 

{you may remember this outfit from this post.}

But then again I liked the one below better.

 

So I decided I'm going to go with this outfit. =)

What are you going to be wearing?

     

Slice and bake.......

I,myself,me,was in the baking mood,after looking through the cook book I found."Vanilla Slice-And-Bake Cookies" So I got busy.   

my ingredients

don't forget your apron when wearing a white shirt.

creaming the butter...

the cookie dough.....

  

-my end results-

They are very good, I think I had one to many.

I thought I'ld share the recipie for you all to enjoy too.

Its from the 'The Southern Living Cookbook."

  

You can also replace sugar with brown sugar and when the cookies are done baking dip them in a sugar and cinnamon mixture.

  

lets do a Thanksgiving craft.....

 little brother: Okay.  *after starting the craft* Me: Hey, I should take photos for my blog. little brother: Yeah...... So here I am.... =)    

{my brother tracing his hand.}

Trace your hand on a piece of paper.

{giving my hand a try as well...}

 

At the outer edge of your thumb with a yellow crayon or pencil draw a triangle beak.

With red that dangling fat...... I know,I know there is a name for it,but I don't remember.

Oh,and make a black dot for an eye.

color your turkey whatever your heart desires...

Then on the thumb/middle of your turkey write,

'I am Thankful for' or  ' name is thankful for'...

Really whatever you want.

Now on the feathers/fingers write what you are thankful for....

                                        You can cut out your turkeys and glue them onto paper ......

            or if you make two turkeys with your left andyour right hand you can glue them together for a two sided turkey...

   We, that is my brother and I enjoyed making these turkeys together,and since he was especially energetic today it was a perfect project for us to do together. Why don't you grab a younger sibling and try this out as well.
