I am not a crafty person.  After many years of unsuccessful tries which turned into crafts gone bad, I’ve become comfortable with that statement.  With that said, I will, upon occasion, put something together that can be considered a “craft”.  There is a big “but”  with that though.  I have to thoroughly think out each step in the crafty process to determine if I have the patience and talent to pull it off.  If there is any portion of putting it together that I don’t think I can do without it looking horrible, I decide it’s not worth my time or money so I just won’t do it (that’s what Lucinda was for, but she moved far, far away- never to craft for me again-sigh!).  Anyway, I noticed a cute Thanksgiving “craft” on a blog I frequent (eighteen25.blogspot.com) & after much thought, decided I could do it.  Without further adieu, here is the unveiling…(with a little help from “vanna”).

If you can’t tell exactly what it is, it’s a handprint turkey from each member of our family.  For FHE on Monday, we all traced one of our hand’s and colored our turkey.  I have put everyone’s name under their turkey and included the year so we can look back and remember the size of the kids’ hands on Thanksgiving 2011.

So if you’re crafty or not and want a new Thanksgiving decoration please feel free to copy me and “get your craft on”.
