Favorite Thanksgiving Projects Round-Up and a Bloggy Break from Social Media

I'm taking a little bloggy and social media break for the rest of November 

as a birthday gift to myself to spend time more with my family

and to reflect upon all of the things I am grateful for this month.

Our family is adopting a second rescue greyhound and we can't wait

to spend some quality time with her and get a head start on some homemade 

Christmas gift making and decorating!

I wanted to leave you with a round-up of some of my favorite 

(old) Thanksgiving posts and projects 

and I'll be back soon with some fun goodies for Christmas and December!

Indian Corn Bubble Wrap Printmaking from 2009

Cut Paper Thanksgiving Meal Collage made by "E" 2011.

Play-dough Turkeys at the Kid's Table on Thanksgiving

Turkeys in Disguise (Cut Paper) Art Project Part 1

and Turkeys in Disguise Part 2

Sandpaper Leaves (great kid's table activity!)

Oil Pastel on Construction Paper Cornucopia Collage- don't have a post on this one, 

it's just an art lesson I used to teach my students in November.

Draw fruits and veggies from observation or photos with oil pastel

or poster crayons on construction paper and cut out then glue down into a collage.

Magic Marker and Crayon Resist Technique Shape Turkeys

(another oldie but goodie art lesson I used to teach!)

Wishing you a wonderful month of November

filled with family, laughter, friendship,

good food,  and good memories.

See you again in December!

Warmly,

Pink and Green Mama
