Happy Creative Thanksgiving

I want to wish all of my Canadian friends a happy Thanksgiving :)
I had my family over tonight for a yummy turnkey dinner.
I cooked a 8kg (17.6 lb) turkey and 4.5 kg (10 lbs) of potatoes for my family of 13 :)
Ashley did a photo shoot, while the family was all together :)
















Even though I was cooking and cleaning today, I still had time to craft :)
Remember my "Memo Board" I had altered ?
I needed a holder for my marker
Then I saw this clip on the side of my fridge and thought it would be perfect!!
It would work great, but not to pretty…...






















I grabbed a scrap of pretty paper.
I punched out a circle and then inked the edges with distress ink.
Now it is pretty just like this….but…….
















But I know just the thing to pretty it up even more :)

I have quiet a few flair badges.
I seem to hoard them more than use them.
But decided this would be a great project to use one on, as I get to keep it and look at it all of the time, teehee.
















What to choose, what to choose?
I opted for this mini flair designed and gifted to me by Elise from "Feed your Craft"
I thought it was perfect for my memo board marker holder.
















What do you think?
Cute and functional, wouldn't you say :)
















I hope you all had a very creative day and if you celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving, hope you enjoyed time with your family :)

  6. Such a great idea. Family and friends over for Thanksgiving yummy. It was just us and as we don't do the turkey (I know lol) we had lovely roast lamb and all the trimmings :-)
