Thanksgiving

 paper bag turkey I made for my kiddos at the preschool I work at.  forgot to take a picture of it before we carved it.  They were so excited when I carved it and this is what they found.  So much fun to make and really easy.
here's the link for directions:

Thanksgiving

 paper crafts I made for Thanksgiving
get together at work.  Also made treats to hand out, a Thanksgiving blessing mix.   Here are the ingredients.



 
HARVEST BLESSING MIX
Bugles
Shaped like a cornucopia or
horn of plenty, a symbol of our
nation's abundance.
Pretzels
Arms folded in prayer,
a freedom sought by those who founded our country.
Candy Corn
Sacrifices of the pilgrims' first
winter. Food was so scarce that
settlers survived on just a few
kernels of corn a day.
Nuts or seeds
Promise of a future harvest, one
we will reap only if seeds are planted and tended with diligence.
Dried fruits
Harvest gifts of our bountiful land.
M & M's
Memories of those who came before us to guide us to a blessed future.
Hershey Kiss
The love of family and friends
that sweetens our lives

Halloween

 mummy can made for my preschool kiddos.
recycled cans, wrapped with torn white paper, used my punches for the eyes.  I also glued and added some felt on the inside top of the can, that way the edge left from opening up the can won't hurt anyone. 

Halloween

Frankie bags I made for my sons teachers and my co-workers.  filled them with candy.  

cricut vinyl

 made this with my cricut using vinyl and a 12 X 12 floor tile I had laying around.  Tied a ribbon around the tile and added a tag for fall.  Changing out the ribbon & tag for each season.  Not bad for my 1st try.
