    Oh, great ideas and links!

    If you want, please feel free to grab my button to add to this post, and come over and add your name to Mr. Linky- because this is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for people to do when they participate in the monthly Home School open house!
    (I'm also doing a giveaway with those that participate!)

    My Open House post was all about the Thanksgiving theme, too!

    Hope you join us!
    Blessings,
    ~Tammy

    Haha! Hi Rual Canadian - I'm so sorry I skipped a Monday! I wasn't really sure if anyone would notice. ;-) But I see at least one person was expecting a muffin recipe. :-) "Muffin Monday" will be back soon. For now, please try the Pumpkin Harvest cookies - they are so cake-like that they almost taste like muffins! :-)

    I am going to wander through your links. Although our son does not like using the internet much.

    Happy Thanksgiving! We made the thanksgiving chains a couple of years ago. It got so long we had to double it back across the room!
