Thanksgiving Dinner Planner

I'm guest blogging at Passionately Artistic today!  Maggie is highlighting Thanksgiving themed creations for the month of November.  Dennis and I began cooking Thanksgiving dinner for our family a few years ago.  Our notes and recipes are all over the place, so Dennis asked me to create a book that could house all of our important Thanksgiving dinner papers.  So, I came up with this Thanksgiving planner.   Warning  - there are quite a few pictures!

I'm not quite through with it - I need to add our recipes, pictures, and lists.  I plan on doing that sometime this weekend...or at least before Thanksgiving!  The planner is full of little goodies that make me happy:   like vintage images,

 and all kinds of tags,

 and pockets.  

I delivered several of these to friends at the beginning of the week and it was so nice to hear how excited they were at the thought of having a keepsake to pass on to their children. 
This pocket is made with a brown lunch sack - simply folded up and sewn. 

I was able to use my vintage, really thick bingo cards to create one of the pockets - love that! 

I can't wait to get started on the next stage of adding all of our traditional recipes and all the little notes that we've made to make cooking all that wonderful food easier! 

Thank you for having me, Maggie!  Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!
