Start spreading the holiday JOY... literally! This is the simple craft that kept the ladies in the family busy (and SANE) on Thanksgiving. It helped mask the noise of the football games that occupied our husbands time and minds all.day.long. (Seriously, why so many games on holidays?!) A craft like this doesn't get any easier. Hit up your local craft stores and buy your letters. The ones we bought were $2. You will also need scrapbook paper, Mod Podge and a sponge brush, a hot glue gun … [Read more...]
