Did you know Sarah Hale was responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday? Thank you Sarah Hale!
We spent lots of time doing artsy crafty things. Like pin curls.
And red lipstick.
And fun little embroidery pieces to eventually be made into a quilt.
And cool stained glass coloring sheet thingies.
You can still get in on the book bundle giveaway here. Mr. Random Number Generator will pick the winner tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteWow, flashback on the pincurls! Great camper by the way. I was just going to dig out from a huge box of every possible embroidery image you could have that my grandmother saved to get an easy one to teach my daughter with. What lovely family memories you are creating for those beautiful girls of yours.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a perfectly wonderful thanksgiving Dana!

We love playing beauty parlor at my house. It is always fun to put on makeup when you are little. I can't wait to see what you do with the little embroidery blocks. They are so cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks for celebrating the life of a great New England lady who worked in her own way to make a difference.
