I asked her to share her secret for storing this Thanksgiving banner craft. She said she carefully folds is back and forth, then puts it inside a sealed freezer bag. That's it! The basic idea is that you spell out "Give … [Read more...]
Thanksgiving is coming up and I wanted to do a craft with my kids to help them reflect on the things that we are thankful God has given us.
