it's the gobbly goo!

I'm always on the lookout for crafty ideas that would make for lifelong memories.  Something I can look back on 20 years down the road and say...wow, can you even imagine?

so when I found this idea for turkey handprints, I knew it was something I wanted to do right away.

Lucky for me, Keira can be into doing arts and crafts (thank you preschool!) and it's quick and easy enough that Mike won't get bored.  With Thanksgiving coming up, I decided tonight was the night to do it.

so here we go!!

I traced each of our hands on white cardstock, colored them in and backed each one on colored cardstock.  I wanted to put our turkeys in a frame like the original idea, but didn't have one on hand, nor did I want to buy one.  So I went with a garland instead and hung it from our mantle.  Once the holiday is over, into our family scrapbook it goes! I'm especially in love with capturing the size of Keira's hand now and having it to compare against later on down the road.

it's all about the memories, right?
