Newest Contest Entries ~ Time to Vote!

1.  Thanksgiving Map Wreath ~ This craft is my creative spin on the “thankfulness” list – it’s a fun and visual way to list the things you’re thankful for, it’s inexpensive and enjoyable to make, and it can be used year after year!

2.  Blessing Jar ~ This special little jar sits on our kitchen table year round, reminding us to take time to appreciate God’s blessings, both small and large. No special paper needed. Any scrap will do! We then go around the table and one by one open the slips of paper, seeing the blessings of our lives laid before us.

Crafty Food

3.  Pilgrim Popcorn {free label} ~ Use the basic party popcorn recipe, add in leaf confetti and harvest M&M’s and attach the free tag.

4.  Gluten Free Pie Dough ~ This is the BEST gluten-free pie dough recipe I have found. It is buttery, flaky goodness that you expect from a pie crust without the beach sand grainy textures normally associated with gluten-free pasty dough.

5.  Eggnog Ice Cream ~ Creamy Eggnog Ice Cream is the perfect chilly holiday treat. It is simple to make and bursting with eggnog flavor! Ice cream isn’t just for summertime anymore.

6.  Spicy Turkey Breast & Kickin’ Cranberry Sauce ~ This is a set of easy turkey and cranberry recipes that are outside the normal Thanksgiving Day fare. Both turkey and sauce have a little bit of heat, but not so extreme–most people will enjoy a little change!

Free Printables

7.  Turkey Hunt ~ What better game on Thanksgiving then a Turkey Hunt? I love doing scavenger hunts on holidays and at parties. They are great for kids of all ages. Download the game card and pieces.

8.  Thanksgiving Dinner Printables ~ Enjoy these FREE Thanksgiving Dinner Printables. This kit includes a menu card, place cards for boys and girls, food cards and adorable toppers. Personalize as needed!

DIY Decorating

9.  Mercury Pumpkin ~ Make your own Pottery Barn knock-off mercury pumpkin for a fraction of the cost.  Just 5 light layers of Krylon Looking Glass paint!

10.  Glam Glittered Leaves ~ These gorgeous glittered leaves are made out of real leaves. They are perfect for holiday decorating– use them in wreaths, tablescapes… you name it!

11.  DIY Deer Head Pallet ~ I made this rustic DIY deer head pallet mount for our living room to add some rustic charm & warmth to the space. This project was simple & easy to make.

12.  Felt Circles Pillow ~ An envelope pillow made with felt circles, left over drop cloth, and plain white fabric.  The entire project cost under $10.

Crafts for Kids

13.  Thanksgiving Bread Boat ~ Making the kids table extra fun for kids at Thanksgiving when Mayflower bread boats sail onto the table!

Fall Tutorials

14.  Tulle Pumpkin Wreath ~  Check out this great tutorial for a tulle pumpkin wreath.  It’s appropriate for Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving!

15.  Framed Burlap Monogram Letter ~ This is such an easy project, it only took me about 30 minutes to make and since I had quite a bit of Burlap left over from the Burlap Pennant Banner that I made a few weeks back it was essentially free to make.

It’s not too late to enter your own past ideas.
Deadline: Entries will be accepted through Tuesday, November 20th, midnight CST!
