Adorable Thanksgiving Project

SOME FUN PROJECTS ARE WORTH A SECOND POST -- THIS IS ONE OF THEM
Whether your hosting a book club meeting in the next week or so -- or just looking for a fun place-setting for your Thanksgiving dining table, this is an easy project that will get lots of smiles.

It was from the grocery store chain FOOD LION. Gobbler Cookies
What you'll need::

• Nutter Butter Cookies (this will be the body on your turkey)
• Fudge Stripe Cookies (this makes his pretty tail!)
• Small Pretzel Knots or Choc Covered Flipz (his feet!)
• Candy Corn (for the beak)
• Gummy Worms (for the gobbler!)
• Almond Slivers (for his spiky hair)
• Small Choc Chips (for the eyes)
• and white icing to hold it all together

Look at the picture and then get creative!!

Braggin' on the Book Club Babes Scrapbook

Hi friends,
You might remember me mentioning an amazing group of ladies I had the pleasure of visiting back in September 2011 when they read Sweet Tea and Secrets as their book of the month. They have a tradition of creating a scrapbook page for each book they read. The scrapbook is amazing. I could have snuggled down and just read that for a whole afternoon! They gave me permission to share some of the pages with you here. So...enjoy!

Are you inspired to give it a try? I hope so. You could even take your 12 fav books and create a calendar for the following year as a book club girl holiday gift.

I'm headed back to Suffolk at the end of February for book club night. It's such an honor that they picked my second Adams Grove Novel ~ Out of Focus as their February book. Can't wait to see what they say and create for this story!

I think scrapbooking is a great way to memorialize all the books your club reads. Sandy is the "keeper of the album" for the Book Club Babes and she creates ALL the pages. She's amazing. You might decide to rotate that responsibility or even create the page as part of the gathering :)

Happy Book Clubbing :)
