I am not crafty. I do not own a sewing machine. I do not knit, crochet, or scrap book. I have never felted anything. I do own a hot glue gun but I'm not really sure where it is. However, this week Bob and I did a craft project together. It employed my skills with scissors and a pen. Oh, and tape. I'm a whiz with tape.
We made a Thanksgiving banner for our mantel. I know. Soon, I'll be carving a chain from a single block of wood. Or not. I shouldn't get ahead of myself. Anyway, Bob's job was coming up with a list of things that he is grateful for and then I would write his things on tiny triangles. Bob started with "the world." He then pulled it back a little and added "pumpkins." Next came "school, grandparents and vegetables." "Bicycles and food" made the cut.
Bob ended the list with "I am thankful for chairs so we don't have to always sit on the floor if we don't feel like it because sometimes we feel like it but sometimes we don't and maybe we don't want to sit on the grass because it's wet or muddy and we don't want to sit on the bed so that's why you need chairs and chairs are very, extra, good."
I'm totally digging out the hot glue gun.
i love the last one. did it fit onto a triangle??
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw chairs in the photo I knew this was going to be fun. Grab that glue gun and shoot 'em up Annie Oakley.
ReplyDeleteI think I have two hot glue guns and yet, have never hot-glued one damn thing in my life.
ReplyDeleteI prefer Elmer's.
Chairs. haha!! too cute!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for Bob.
ReplyDeletexoxo
hahaha.. where can I buy one.. not the chair.. I mean where can I buy another Bob..?
ReplyDeleteChairs are very, extra, very good.
ReplyDeleteEspecially as your tired a$$ gets older, Bob...
I love that idea. I am getting out my tape (I broke the hot glue gun, months ago) and forcing my family into making a Thanksgiving banner.
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet idea!! you should do that each year and save them :)
ReplyDeleteI discovered that we can be thankful for my big bed, the cat, the dog, socks, those one shoes that light up when you take a step...
ReplyDeleteI think I need to change my attitude about gratitude and take a page out of my son's book.
he is such a thankful child, a very rare characteristic in people these days. You are very lucky to have a child like him. I mean, which child is thankful for vegetables? He's so sweet, youve raised him up good.
ReplyDeletethis made me AND my 11 year old laugh! good one BOB! i like chairs too!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Mary Nevin: you have to do one every year. Or at least make the list with Bob. And I'm also with Karen at F.S. in that I'm thankful for Bob (and Smacksy), hich are both very extra good.
ReplyDeleteAs are grandparents and vegetables.
owe you a "w"
