Nothing to see here, just a pickle turkey in Jordans.


You know, just your standard turkey with pickles feathers rockin' Ray Bans 
and some first edition Jordans.  


This guy has gotten the Humpty Dance stuck in my head AAAAALLLLLLLLL 
day long!  (Much to my husband's chagrin)

"My nose is big, nu-uh, I'm not ashamed, 
Big like a pickle, I'm still gettin' paid..."

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Today is NOT Black Friday Eve!!!
I hope you're spending the day with loved ones and spending some time thinking about what you're truly Thankful for this holiday...and not in line at Target mad at the lady in front of you for cutting the line.

BUT- if you are out and find yourself shopping- maybe you could consider picking up something for someone less fortunate.   Here's a full list of needed items that Toys-for-Tots is trying to accumulate to help victims of Hurricane Sandy: TOYS-FOR-TOTS LIST.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

It's Thanksgiving, Charlie Brown!


Thanksgiving is in 7 days!!  That means I can put my Christmas tree up in 8 days!  Best news ever!!

This year I'm thankful for so many things but I'm most thankful for my disappearing waistline.  My husband and I are expecting our first child in just 6 weeks and for that I couldn't be more thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

The National Turkey Day Spectacular!

Tom Turkey looks positively dapper this year and he has picked quite a crop of young ladies to escort him on stage.

Shut Yer Mouth, Jive Turkey!


Last week I went to two major chain craft stores looking for a turkey cookie cutter for this project.  When I asked if they had turkey cookie cutters both stores answered with: 

"Oh, all that stuff's packed away to make room for Christmas."

Shut your face!  What?  It was November 4th!!  Since when does Christmas start in October, take over all of November and get the full month of December?  Geezum crow!  Some of my most favorite people on the planet were born in November: my Mom, husband, nephew and my stupid brother-in-law who I love even though he always tries to make me think I have a lady mustache.  
Determined now to make turkey cookies and celebrate the crap out of Thanksgiving I tried to think of what else I could use as a turkey form.  That's when I saw this flower cookie cutter.   By cutting of the bottom two leaves it actually makes a pretty adorable turkey.   

I also reluctantly made some flowers and some leaves.


 I used Wilton gel Icing Colors to get the colors super vibrant.  I can't recommend it highly enough even though my tongue is totally red from taste testing a cookie (ok, 3 cookies).



Happy Thanksgiving!!
