I am using the word art in the MOST liberal sense! I am not a gifted artist. Yes I have fantasies about being a great artist, they run right behind my fantasies of being a great singer. I am very subpar when it come to creative thinking and execution. I think Isabelle might end up much more successful than her mom in both subjects, at least I am keeping my fingers crossed for her!
Here she is with her Thanksgiving art projects.
It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without an Indian hat.
Although Isabelle thought it should be a turkey hat since it was made with "turkey" feathers.
She was in heaven when I turned her loose with the glue stick and the tape.
Another step in independence.
And as Vanna is so beautifully showing here are leaves of thanks.
There are many more blessings in our lives, I just didn't want to cut out any more leaves.
We had so much fun doing our little projects I had better
come up with more excuses to do things like this.
Crafts
Last night I went over to a friends and they taught me how to make
some flower bows for headbands and clips.
I am really branching out this week!
I made the green one last night and had so much fun that I have been making more for hours today!
Here are some of my favorites!
It's nice to have creative friends that can teach you new things.
And apparently you can teach an old Gabrielle new tricks!
I have burns on my fingers from the hot glue gun.
Just like I am a messy cook, I am a messy glue gun operator!
But it was all worth it.
