Turkey Day is upon us

It's just before Thanksgiving, and the Kindergarten teachers want you to take an outline of a turkey home to decorate. Then, you bring the completed project back to school for display. Some suggestions came along with the outline  for decorating the turkey-leaves, feathers, cereal, etc. But-this turkey,  it's Kennedy's. So that means--what else? Trick that bird out Princess style. Of course she did (with a little help from mom and Madeleine.)  

REALLLYYY????

Apparently, people still try to sell Beanie Babies for obscene amounts of money. Useless, dust collecting stuffed toys-yet seller has deemed them "retired," so we (the innocent perusers of the local Craigslist) might  somehow find them more valuable? Cheap fabric stuffed with tiny pellets-wow! Here's the ad in full:

Great for gifts or collections. Some of these are retired and are not sold anymore, which often means they could be worth more than $4 but that's what I'm selling them for. If you decide to buy all of them ($84) I will knock off some and give them to you for $65. Email me and let me know which ones you want and when we can meet to exchange.

I also have adds up for other types of beanie babies.

The start of it all...
