Fiber Bubble: So So Boneless!

So So Boneless!

Just in time for Thanksgiving! Daughter Amy and sissy Gail coming up from Omaha this weekend! I bought a....now this is weird...but I bought a boneless turkey! I have had so much fun making bad jokes about my boneless turkey! Can't wait to try it. The local butcher just swears by it! Says he hasn't cooked a turkey with bones for 10 years. Sad we won't have a wish bone though... Maybe I just found my niche market! I should create and sell faux turkey wish bones!

On my schedule is to make and bake a pumpkin pie - how fortuitous that the inspiration for this card is perfect for my day in the kitchen! I must admit, this card is just 'so-so', but then so is my cooking!

This is the photo inspiration over at {PIN}spirational:

Bountiful!

I can't wait to hear how the boneless turkey was! I bet it's going to be great though - and no waste. Yummy sounding!
Your card is so much more than "so-so"! It's so pretty and I love the shine on the pumpkins! Beautiful card!
Hope y'all have a fantastic Thanksgiving.

Me: You do realize you don't even have a girlfriend yet. Alum: I've had girlfriends. The 9 babies clause seems to be a deal breaker for some reason. Me: How do you feel about tennis?
