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.

How big our world is,how perfect God made our atmosphere,how blue the sky is.

Authentic people blog party......






Okay,so I decided to link up with this blog party for the fun of it,and if any of you are interested here is the link.

Hey there, for those of you who don't know me.
I'm a that nutty,homeschooled, German and Irish girl,who lives in the country,runs around barefoot,plays the violin,likes horses,and loves to blog.
I love anything from riding a 4-wheeler to doing my hair.
Photography and doing peoples hair are my favorite past times.
I love watching snowflakes fall softly,raindrops on roses, black and white photos,friends and family,sew and crafting are some of my favorite things.....

But Jesus is the one thing that had my heart now and always.
So if you meet me I HAVE to introduce you to my Very best friend Jesus.
What can a say when somebody creates me, everything I love,dies for me and is my King how can I NOT LOVE Him,I'm only Ashamed I don't introduce Him to EVERY person I meet.


     I am pleased to meet you.
