Pretzel Pumpkins

Pretzel Pumpkins
Each Thanksgiving I am in charge of our table decorations. This year I will be making pumpkin pretzels.
You will need... 
 Pretzels
M&M's 
Candy Melt
Pumpkins, Yummy!!
I will put a bunch of pumpkin pretzels in a fun bag and tie a ribbon on it. Each Thanksgiving guest will receive a fun treat!

I made some pumpkin pretzels for Halloween...they did not last long. My family is happy to hear I will be making some more for Thanksgiving.

Sticks and Stones

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me! How wrong this little poem is! It would be more accurate to say: "Though sticks and stones inflict great pain, their hurt will fade away. But just one sharp and biting word brings harm that's here to stay."

Our words are powerful. With them we can build up and encourage, or we can tear down and destroy.

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is November 22nd.
Pick up your pen and tell that person how her or his  loving kindness has made you feel.

Check out our Etsy Store...just click on the camera at the top of the page. We have a fun assortment of photo cards perfect to send that Thanksgiving message.

All cards are printed on quality paper.

Not sure how to say it?
Here are a few helps...  
Your love and faith have comforted me. Thank you for being there for me.

Kind deeds like yours change lives. Thank you.

God's gifts to us are wondrous! Your gift to me is wonderful! Thank you for being so thoughtful.
