Autumn is now upon us as we pack up the pool toys, send the kids back to school, harvest our gardens and get ready to make our Fall homes happen!  Fall themed goods, pumpkin spiced food and drinks and Halloween costumes have been out on the store shelves for the last few months, but most of us prefer to simply make our own homespun season at our own pace.  I've just started my creative to-do list for upcoming home project planning and I thought I'd go ahead and share some seasonally themed publications and how-to draw videos all in one place to inspire your upcoming creative Autumn adventures. Enjoy the season and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE, Like or leave Comments on my YouTube Channel !   

As one of my favorite holidays approaches, it's time to start planning our Thanksgiving feast.  This year, I had a little help from my 4 year old granddaughter who helped create turkey napkin holder place settings for each guest.  With a few basic supplies and a sky filled with blustery snow flurries, we completed this project together and had a lot of fun chatting about our many family blessings.  So go right ahead and invite a turkey to dinner this year.  I hope you'll give this fun project a try and enjoy the smiles! 

Getting ready for our Thanksgiving guests and thought this would be the perfect time to share a free Happy Harvest papercraft table setting project with you!  Just Print, Clip and Craft as many as you need in minutes...instructions are included.  Right click the project image below and Save the full size project to your computer.  You'll find lots more fun printables and project sheets by Annie Lang at Annie Things Possible .  Enjoy Happy Harvest Blessings, Everyone!

Seems like the kids always want to be in the kitchen when dinner preparations are underway.  Keep them busy putting together this magnet character puzzle and let them tell you a story about their turkey's Thanksgiving adventures!  Just print, cut out and then assemble the character one piece at a time and let the kids take it from there.  No magnets?  You can mount the pages on cardstock, cut them out and use them to make dimensional crafts.  Happy Turkey Piecing!

Favorite Lang Family Harvest Recipes I was digging for my no-cook Cranberry Relish recipe today to add to our Thanksgiving Gathering dinner menu and discovered 5 other family recipes that are perfect for the Harvest Season.  As many of you know, I've got a very good track record for kitchen disasters...I even set the dinner table on fire during a holiday feast one year!   Since the relish requires no cooking and I've made it several times without killing off a single family member, it's safe to say this recipes has been proven to be fool-proof!   My son, Jeff is a skilled chef in the kitchen and we always look forward to his culinary delights.  His wife, Naomi provides us with homegrown treats from her organic garden gatherings and her jams, jellies and pies are always welcome gifts.  I've also included a pork loin recipe created by my sister, Kathy and her husband, Andy who never fail to surprise us with their culinary skills and tasty recipes.   I hope you
