In the wee small hours of the morning....two moms were chatting from almost 2000 miles apart. They were seperated by two times zones, 30+ driving hours, a very large mountain range and more rivers than you want to count...but connected by good friendship and four little girls who adore each other....

The Night Before Thanksgiving... in Montana?

This weeks entry is being brought to you from Montana!


We are currently in Montana visiting family and having an early Thanksgiving (that just happens to coinside with deer season! lol) so the girls and I have been working on table decorations to use for our family feast! Most days we are busy with Grandma but today she just happened to work...which worked out perfect  for us! It gave the girls and I a whole day to do some school work and a lot of crafting fun and reading! Not only did we read "The Night before Thanksgiving" but we also read "Thanksgiving Mice" and "The Squirrels' Thanksgiving"

  


To get started, we made those adorable little napkin rings that Jackie showed us....



and of course had to make the Paper bag turkey (perfect for early munching!) and last but not least...the turkey cups! Perfect for using as snack cups for the popcorn out of the turkey!



We had such a good time making all these table goodies...what plans do you have for your Thanksgiving table??

Just to get you started...Thanksgiving

This weeks book is The Night Before Thanksgiving





Now, I know this is a bit early, but we wanted you to have your ideas BEFORE turkey day arrives! There is nothing more frustrating than finding a great project the day AFTER the big event! lol

We are actually gearing up for an early Thanksgiving with family so this book comes at just the right time! We have so many ideas and so little time....so for now, he's a few links to get you started...and we're off to read and get crafty! :) Why not start off the week with a song? I can already hear the giggles that will go along with this! lol
