It's November already! That means Turkey Day. Yummy! I know it's about more than good eats, but lets face it, almost all of us love the special treats! Now I know there is probably someone out there saying they don't like Thanksgiving or even holidays, but really, it is the true start to the Christmas count down. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a home, where holidays are a cherished memory. We didn't have a lot, in fact we didn't have much, but we sure had good times. My mom was very frugal and crafty; we did tons of handmade, and whatever we really needed (not wanted) we usually had. There were five of us kids, and even though we fought like cats and dogs, I love the memory of every minute of it.
I try to make the same homey, comfortable feeling in our home. My grandson and I will make crafts, or craps,*smile* as he call them. We made the cutest turkeys yesterday, out of nothing more than brown paper lunch bags, construction paper, glue stick, string, crumpled paper filling, markers and crayons.(see pic below) He had a great time, and we have two nice turkeys to display. I found several different crafts, we will be making to decorate the house. It keeps him busy, and makes the house look festive.
I am supposed to be trying my hand at homemade caramel today. I tried a recipe for caramel apples on Halloween, well lets just say we won't be making that again. Lol. It looked perfect on the apples until it cooled, and then it turned into a gritty dull mess! It didn't even taste like caramel. I am going to try again, I'll let you know how it goes *grin*.
Still no sales at any of our shops, I am soooo discouraged! What can we do? I keep thinking one of these days I will get up, check my email, and be blown away with orders.... it isn't happening. If anyone out there has any ideas I would love to hear them, seriously, help a girl out. Lol
Off to the world of caramel..............
