Sure I have a few Thanksgiving ideas- but I'm not really motivated to make them.
I don't like the idea of rushing into Christmas any more than we do already. And I don't want to say goodbye to fall in favor of winter (which will undoubtedly overstay it's welcome when I'm ready for it to be spring).
So I'm not sure if it's that the stores are full of Christmas stuff before Halloween is even over that's finally affecting me and mentally making me skip over Thanksgiving. Or if it's just my mood coming off of the Halloween Holiday (which I like to call my Halloween hangover) and in a few days I'll be excited for Thanksgiving.
Sadly more and more Thanksgiving just feels like the start of Christmas... and everything leading up to it feels a little like wrap up from Halloween.
By the way, the gifts in the picture at the top of the post are mini presents that fit on the front of a card.
To make them I covered scraps of cardboard with bits of leftover wrapping paper. Then used very thin colored wire to make bows. Small scraps of card stock or cuttings from used gift tags were used to make the tags on them. It's a fun way to recycle last years gift trimmings into this years Christmas cards.
