Thanksgiving Thankful Book

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving! Are you ready?

I’ve got a fun idea for anyone looking to do something creative tomorrow with family. It is a variation on my idea to make a picture book. Instead of just a picture book, make a photo book of everyone in your family for Thanksgiving. All you will need is a camera, some paper, and creativity.

You will need to take a photo of everyone you want in the book. You can make one of just your kids, or of everyone who shows up for Thanksgiving dinner. Once you have all the photos have them printed off. You can do it yourself if you have a photo printer or use an online service. Snapfish is my favorite for ordering photos. You can add Thanksgiving style to your photos from their site then have them mailed to you or order them to be printed off at your local Walgreens.

You will also need paper cut into medium sized leaves. You want the leaves large enough to write on, yet small enough that they do not cover the pages. Have each person write what they are thankful for on a leaf and sign their name and the year. Once you have your leaves and your photos then you can create the book. You can scrapbook it, or just make a plain photo book. You can even buy a simple photo album to place the photos and leaves in. It is a great way to remember family and friends on this special holiday.

    Those are some great ideas but I think I’ll be lucky if I manage to get through my cookery responsibilities.

    There again it is a longish break,
    Happy Thanksgiving
