When my sweet husband and I were newlyweds and living off...crazy little amount of money...we would try to find ways to eat cheap meals (well, I still like cheap meals, but I digress) and our favorite one was Thanksgiving. We had what we called Just Kidding Thanksgiving a few times a year. Yummy food. Lots of leftovers. Perfect.
Thanksgiving is my favorite meal of the year, if not my favorite holiday. I love cooking and baking so it's got me written all over it! Plus, if I'm lucky I get to spend it with family and friends so yeah, it's got to be the best.
This said, these two projects I made last night reminded me a lot of Thanksgiving.
First this card, for today's Limited Supplies Challenge.

I love how rustic it came out being. This tree, by the way, is from Flourishes as is the sentiment.
When I was done with it, I needed to make a thank you gift for my Fab 6 Club hostess, Jami.
I wanted it to be Thanksgiving based, and when I saw this turkey in a Pottery Barn Kids catalog , I knew I had to replicate it in paper and ink.
See? It's a Tic Tac holder. :) Orange Tic Tacs. Name that movie! :)

So what do ya think?
