Plunge into the cornucopia...

This year it became apparent to me that I lack Thanksgiving decorations. So during the season, I thought about expanding my decor. At school, Maxine's been learning about Thanksgiving and cornucopias. (I had to run spellchecker on that one.) So we decided that a cornucopia would be a great addition. So I looked around and waited for things to go on sale. FYI, all Halloween and harvest decorations are 80% at Roberts Crafts. We got fake pumpkins and gourds for 50 cents each. The apples and oranges didn't fall into the harvest category so they were regular price. I got the cornucopia at Wal-Mart for half off.

Now I don't really consider myself a 'crafty' person but I dusted off my baby glue gun and set to work. I have to say I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out!

All told, it came in under $10. Happy Thanksgiving!!

That story about the fish is silly! I felt worse for Jack than the fish though!
