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.
