10 Thanksgiving Crafts And Decorating Ideas

Nov 202012

Decorating for holidays is one of my favorite things to do, and while Christmas decorations get me most excited, I do like to dress things up for Thanksgiving, too! I had planned to spend some time tomorrow making a few treats for the Thanksgiving table we’ll be dining on. However we need to take A2 for a follow-up appointment for his broken finger, so tonight will be my crafty night. Nothing like the last minute, right?

Here are ten Thanksgiving craft and decorating ideas for you to wow your family this year. I might be making a few, myself!

Thanksgiving is Thursday! I can’t believe it’s already here. We’re having Thanksgiving at a family member’s house this year, so I’m not responsible for all the main courses. But I do need to make an appetizer, rolls, and a dessert. I have some perennial favorites, but for the rest, I of course turned to the best resource I know: Pinterest! Here are ten of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes. And while I don’t need to make the turkey this year, I couldn’t resist adding Alton Brown’s turkey recipe – it’s amazing!

Sending Out Cards During The Holidays?

I’ve always wanted to be one of those people who has their family photo for holiday cards taken in June; the cards ordered by September; and addressed, stamped, and ready to mail by October 31st. It greatly appeals to my organizational side. Sadly, I have not yet become one of these people.

A big part of it is that Bubbles is still very young, and so she grows and changes quickly. If we took our family photo in June, by the time the cards went out, she’d barely be recognizable. Maybe in a few years when her growing levels off some, we can be that family.

Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph Opened #1!

For all those who went and saw Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph on the opening weekend – thank you for supporting Disney and such a great movie. Thanks to you, Wreck-It Ralph opened #1 at the box office with $49 million – the largest opening in Walt Disney Animation Studio’s history! The movie continues to collect accolades from critics, and everyone that I’ve spoken to that saw it has said they loved it. I know the music makes me want to sing along every time I hear a commercial for it.

If you have loved the nostalgic feel of the games, or if you want to share something fun from your childhood with your kiddos, you’ll love this free printable build your own mini “Fix It Felix Jr.” game cabinet! I remember spending many an hour in arcades (which are almost as extinct as the rotary phone, sadly) playing games just like this one. Click each image to open a larger, printable version.
