Kidz Korner - Thankful Tree

The month of November always seems to be the time of year when we begin to think about all the things we are thankful for, friends, family, health, etc. It's so important to teach our kidz that they have lots of things to be thankful for as well. Christina at The DIY Mommy has a great tutorial to make a Thankful Tree with your kidz. Why not take the entire month and add thankful leaves to the tree each day? For the complete tutorial, simply click on the photo above.

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Upcycle Your Thanksgiving

Well November is here and Thanksgiving is coming up fast so let's get started on decorating for this holiday with some recycled decor from Etsy. 

Pumpkins are still in fashion for another month. :)  So let's take a look at these upcycled pumpkins from JonesDesignShed that are made from sweaters. Very nice pumpkins. 

I really like this fall leaf from WaxMenagerie. It is made from recycled wire and newspaper. You could sit it on the table or hang it like an ornament. Great idea!

Look at these upcycled wine bottles that have been painted like candy corn. They are from KorkayKreations. You can use them for your Halloween decorating and then just take them right into Thanksgiving. :)

I really like this upcycled older tray that StudioSugarTree made. Like she said you could changed it out with the seasons. 

Looks like there is lots of good ideas for getting your home decorated for Thanksgiving. Don't forget about Thanksgiving and just jump into Christmas decorating as there is still time to do that after Thanksgiving. :)

Happy decorating!

Colleen :)
