TwO tuRkeYs & a littLe piE

Thought I would post something festive this week. Can you believe it? Thanksgiving is in 4 days! So I've whipped up some turkey{s} and a little pie...only one is edible though, darn.

TuRkeY sHirtS...

By the way, I'm still NOT taking orders on shirts for now. I did these for my cousin's 2 little turkeys...a favor for having to claim me as a relative :)

And because I really like them, I did these for ChriStmas...

Now on with the pie. Pie iN a jaR to be exact. I did these with my activity days girls for our Thanksgiving activity last week. Really fun. Really easy.

You start with a little jelly jar, decorate it a bit...

Hire small hands to stuff it with pie dough...

Add your choice of filling and a top...

Decorate as desired...

Pop them in the oven and bake...wait, wait, wait...

Shake it carefully out of the jar on to a plate...

Find a fork and enjoy...YuM.

Easy as that.  And personally, I think these little pies provide just the right amount of pie to filling ratio...I'm a crust girl.

Hope you all have a HaPPy TurKeY daY.  Gobble 'til ya wobble, I'm gonna.

So I might be a little LoT addicted to pennant banners right now and have also found a new love for burlap recently.  So last week I mixed them all together and added a pinch of "the best time of the year", here's what I got...



A HoLLy JoLLY BurlaP Pennant banner. I've made a few of these for Halloween and Thanksgiving, thought I'd give Christmas a try.





Now if you'd excuse me, I'm off to have my cup of cheer :)

For mY PeEps

I can call you my peeps, can't I? I mean a lot of you that left comments I've only blog stalked before I haven't met before. So I'm not exactly sure we're homies, yet :) But BiG thanks for leaving the comments anyway. And I guess I should give props to those who are related and were kind enough to stop and humor me a bit. Thanks to you all as well. So...as promised, I'm blogging a little of what I've been up to.


ChRiSTmaS OrNamENt WReaThs. I stole the idea found the idea here, who stole the idea found idea here. They looked like a cinch, so I thought I would give them a try.

First I'm cheap so I raided I was economically responsible and made my purchases from dollar store.



Once I got started, of course...



I had a hard time...



Picking one color combo (side note: if you look closely you can see me somewhere in this one...it's a where's waLdo wreath)...



Cause you know, I'm fiCkLe. Although, I am a bit partial to this one...



I'm planning on doing a tree in these colors this year. Can't wait. Question...I hear there is snow in the forecast this weekend, technically doesn't that mean I can start decorating for Christmas? Just asking.

Talking to MyseLf?

I'm curious. Is anybody there? I mean is anybody here looking at this blog? Or am I talking to myself? I think there are a few of you out there in the land of blog that occasionally stop in, but I'm not real sure...cuz no one ever talks back (except for you Britt, thanks for the support). So, if you're there, let me know. I'm not really taking orders for the time being, but still have some things I've been crafting and could post...if there is indeed somebody out there to show it to?? If not I won't bother blogging it for myself to look at :) So really, if you're there give me a shout out, don't be shy.
