Happy Thanksgiving! Did you see my Pumpkin Turkey Centerpiece project over at Make & Takes? If you aren't too busy cooking, you can make one with the kids today (or have them make it while you're working!) I used my uncarved leftover pumpkins and on-hand paper to make it.

And, in case you're reading blogs instead of having Thanksgiving, I've dug up the best ideas from Dollar Store Crafts last November:

    I love the teaset charm bracelet! I still have a play china tea set (too big for jewelry) from my childhood, with not a single piece missing or broken, and that’s through four cross-country moves! (Of course, now I’ve probably gone and jinxed it!)

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Love the tea set charm bracelet, too!! Now, do they have them at the dollar store?

    @Pam, I found one at my local department store in the cheap toy aisle for $2 just this week! I haven’t seen them at the dollar store since I posted this project idea, though!
