Last week, I asked what your crafty ideas or traditions were for Thanksgiving. Looks like a lot of your Turkey Day activities have to do with… turkeys!
Gina said:
My mom always made a turkey out of a big brown paper bag. It had a slit in it’s back which we “stuffed” with our blessings written on slips of paper. Usually we did this through the entire month of November. On Thanksgiving, we then dumped them out the turkey’s contents and read them before our thanksgiving meal.
I love this idea! I'll have to file that one away for next year!
