Our Thankful Tree!

Here is this year's Thankful Tree! We had a blast making it like we do every year and it turned out pretty well. Last year we started adding little touches to the whole picture so we went ahead and did that again this year. The kids really enjoyed creating their own personal touches to add to the Thankful Tree!

Princess drew Spongebob hugging the tree while sleeping and wearing a pilgrim hat, Spunky added the "birds" (The one on the left is carrying a burnt sausage. She loves her dad's Bratwurst, he grills it until it is burnt in some areas so this is her idea of this.... lol), T-Man drew the fire breathing dragon and Patrick with the magic wand/witch hat while Cameron drew the mutant lizard wearing a pilgrim hat!
Materials:
Glue
Scissors
Markers
Poster board
Colored pencils
Construction paper

Instructions:
Each person traces their hand multiple times on construction paper. Of course all in Fall colors and then we cut out all the hands (we usually do 4 hands per person in each color). After all the hands are cut out then we write something we are thankful for on each of our hands. Then draw a tree trunk and branches if you would like on a piece of poster board and decorate how you like. Then just glue all the hands to cover the tree as if they were leaves.

I like to make a few look like they are falling from the tree since it is the Fall! There you go you have a Thankful Tree made out of all the things you and your family are thankful for this holiday season!

Here is the link back to last year's tree! :)

I GOT A JOB!

Finally after looking for so many months with no luck at all......I have a job! :) I have my wonderful friend Amy to thank for this awesome opportunity and I am so grateful!! I actually went through Orientation this past Friday and my first official training day was yesterday. The first two days I have to say were incredibly boring and enough to make you wanna run away screaming or maybe just fall asleep! lol

Today though has been quite fun (I am writing this on my lunch break) and I am looking forward to what the rest of the day holds. This morning she broke us up into groups and assigned us each a feature to outline that we would have to talk about for 5 minutes. My first thought was OMG no, but it turned out to be quite fun. My group received Bundled Services and we did a really good job imo. I learned a lot of good information this morning and as I write this last sentence need to head back to work! :)

Here is our information, I did all the writing! :)
