Happy Thanksturkey!

In the children's sermon on Sunday, the pastor asked the kids what they were going to do on Thanksgiving, and of course some of them said, "Eat Turkey!"  An adorable little girl shouted, they should call it "Thanksturkey!"  

Our thankful turkey is complete for the year!  I am very happy with the way it turned out, and I can't wait until my son is old enough to join in this new tradition with us.

I did have to stick one feather in our turkey butt because I thought it was a little inappropriate!

Boo Duke!!

Go Tarheels!!

Please no mean comments if you aren't a UNC fan!! Come on, it's Thanksgiving!! :)

I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for each one of my faithful readers/friends! :)

Home Tour Tuesday!

I am linking up for the first time for Home Tour Tuesday!  Please join in on the fun!

Well...now that I have taken my pictures, I am just going to go with them :)  When I took them, in my mind I was thinking of two of my favorite items in the house, but when I went back and looked, it's actually two things you are thankful for (besides spouse and kids).

You might not think those would be that different...but for me they are.

Here are two of my favorite items in my house:

This is a painting that used to hang in my "Mimi and Pop's" (my dad's parents) house.  It hung right at the end of their kitchen table.  I have always liked it because it just reminds me of their house.  They had a small "farm" behind their house with chickens, horses, goats, and peacocks.  When my grandfather passed away in August of 2008, I asked if I could have that picture to hang in my house.  I was told that one of my uncle's girlfriend's had painted it awhile back and that made me laugh, but it will always be sentimental to me.  I love knowing that I have a piece of art that will always remind me of my loving grandparents!  

This cross also hangs in our kitchen.  It was a wedding present from one of my mom's friends.  I love that it is a cross and I love the Bible verse.  It is a great daily reminder of our purpose!  

After writing, I realize that I am very thankful for these two things.  Had I chosen something else, I may have taken a picture of my pantry because I'm thankful for food, and a picture of my bed because I LOVE going to sleep at night in my comfy bed!!

Happy Tuesday!

Thankful Turkey!

So I went shopping on Wednesday, bought my supplies, and created my thankful turkey!  I got the idea here.  I haven't made the turkey face so it looks kinda funny right now...but each day the mister and I write something we are thankful for and stick a feather in the turkey!  The mister really liked the idea and I'm interested to see what we will write once we get over the everyday items: family, health, home... :) 

Here's the "faceless" turkey!

And I also found some stuff on sale at Wal-mart and put this little centerpiece together:

It won't stay around long, but I'm hoping to find more crafty ideas for Christmas centerpieces!

Hope y'all have a great weekend!
