I hope everyone has had a wonderful thanksgiving! Martha Stewart ruined my pumpkin cream pie, but I guess I can forgive her just this once. Girl needs a new food editor at her magazine. I happen to know a great editor she could hire... ME! I'll post the fixed recipe soon so people know not to try baking the recipe in the November 2010 issue.
Also, Thanksgiving is all about family, so make sure you thank yours for putting up with your bad habits and weird food intolerances (or maybe the latter is just me).

[Scissors + Glue] Thanksgiving Garland
 |
| All You Need: scrapbook paper, glue stick, scissors, string |
I used to think Christmas was my favorite American holiday, and I suppose it still kind of is. I really used to like the idea of unwrapping my gifts and the thought of children smiling and all that bubbly, wonderful, winter wonderland bullshit.
But let's get real. Thanksgiving is way cooler. First, we gotta celebrate the pilgrims and the Native Americans coming together to share things like squash and turkey and venereal disease. There's nothing more American than that. Second, you get all the food-centered family time you could ask for without having to bring your great aunt a bottle of cheap perfume that you wrapped while running out the door. Third, I'm partial to the fall color scheme. Fall colors just compliment my skin tone way better than those harsh winter hues.
But, okay, IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, I love Thanksgiving, and I'm all about the spirit of giving. I'm a good person way down deep inside there somewhere. So I made this "give thanks" garland to hang over my fireplace. All it took was some string, some embossed scrapbook paper, a printer, scissors, and glue. I spelled "thanks" wrong twice while I was trying to string up the paper leaves, but no one else has to know that but you and me. Happy holiday crafting!Make and Give
