PROJECT • DIY Thanksgiving Sign

11/21/2013

4 Comments

 
I know Thanksgiving is a week away and it may seem pointless to post a DIY Thanksgiving project but this is so super easy that you can get it done in about an hour after printing. That includes drying time. So, no fear, you can do the sign this weekend.

I wanted to make our Thanksgiving celebration more important, make it a little more meaningful. I went to read the Declaration and realized I hadn't ever read it or at least didn't remember it. I thought this would be a good place to start. I made this 11" x 36" framed sign. The content is condensed from the actual Thanksgiving Proclamation. It's my summary. Meaning that it's my point of view of what's important so you might want to read through it before you print it.

Or...... you can skip the coffee dying process and put the white print in a silver or colorful frame. This project just got easier.

Remember mom's pillow with Leila's motto on it? Well, we added more colors! And guess what? The covers have an invisible zipper on the bottom so you can wash them. AND it turns out they are double sided. Woot!

Thankful Squares Free Printable

11/14/2013

Colorful
I know that we are already halfway through November, but really, it's never too late to be thankful! I made some "thankful squares" for you to print out. Simply write one thing you're thankful for every day, punch a hole in the top left corner, and slide them onto a binder ring. Easy peasy! I played catch-up today, but I know some of you are doing the whole 30 days of gratitude thing on Facebook--so you can just look back and write down what you're thankful for! You could also print these off and use them for Thanksgiving dinner; just put a few at each place setting and collect them all later. Enjoy!

Hello Nestie Friends! We are on Vacay!

Alisha's ridiculous selfie
Alisha's awesome selfie.
Hello lovely people! We've been kind of quiet...and that's because we are on vacay!! (aka vacation). We are meeting up with some of my aunties (mom's sisters--a few of them are over at Creative Mommas) this week in San Diego. We're currently in Oceanside to see our little Marine (can I even call him that? he'd be so embarrassed), and missing Leila. By the way, have you ever been to Camp Pendleton?? The place is HUGE. 

Not the point. The point of this post is to tell you that we are just being slow to respond to things because we're playing. and to share some ridiculous selfies of Alisha...because, why not?

We didn't want our new nestie subscribers to be sad :( because, we really do like you. Don't worry, we'll be back!
