A Thanksgiving craft? Of course we did a Thanksgiving craft! We are Blazers, aren't we? We have a craft for every season, don't we? It sure seams like we do anyway. I just love doing crafts, and Princess loves doing them with me (that's one of the reasons I am thankful for her), so I came up with a great useable craft that also gives us an opportunity to express our thanks for each other.
We made placecards for the Thanksgiving table. The cards are just a piece of cardstock folded in half. On the outside of each card we pasted a turkey that I cut out from some decorative scrapbook paper. Then we tied a ribbon along the top of the card. Sarah wrote on the outside of each card "We are thankful for _____ because...", and then she used stamps to spell out the name of each person in our family. On the inside of the card, each of us wrote why are thankful for that person. Some examples are:
-"We are thankful for Nana because...
you are self-less, doing so much for me and my family (Amy)
you are a great grandma (Princess)
you give me scones and you play with me (Pumpkin)"
-"We are thankful for Pumpkin because...
you love to play with me (Princess)
you are sweet and silly, you are a great helper, and you make me smile everyday (Amy)"
-"We are thankful for Drummer Boy because...
you spend time with me (Princess)
you work hard for our family (Amy)
you have whiskers and you play Legos with me (Pumpkin)
They turned out really cute and I am excited for everyone in my family to read the reasons that we are all thankful for them.
