Let's welcome Iffy from Stay At Home Nation as she is next to takeover my blog for the month of November. Are you wondering what's going on? Check out this post where I explain what's happening. A very special thank you to ALL my friends who have so willingly stepped in to TAKEOVER my blog for a couple weeks :)

Also wanted to wish everyone a very special

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Hi there, first off Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! 

I am super excited to be guest posting here today, thanks Bella!

My real name is Cameron (I go by Iffy on my blog) so you can call me by either :)

I am a wife & mother to 4 awesome children & my blog is called

Stay At Home Nation.  

I am still learning as I only started in March but

I like to post cool crafts, diy, & yummy recipes. I also have a weekly blog party every Friday-

My Favorite Things Friday Link Party, so I would love for you

guys to come link up sometime(or all the time ;D)! 

While you are there you can check out what cool giveaway I have going on as I have a new one every week. This week is a jewelry item from One Artsy Mama ends 11/29.

Alright so now I would like to show you a cute little turkey shirt I made

last night for Michaela, my 2 year old. I promised her I would

make her a turkey shirt since she went on the potty, yay!

Check out this cutie

if you ask me he looks a little surprised hehe.

So first, I searched online for a turkey silhouette through google....nothing I wanted

came up so I drew a body on freezer paper(not the shiny side)

& cut it out with an X-acto knife. 

I then placed the shiny side down

on a turtleneck (that is on the verge of going in the "too small" pile) 

& with an iron set to "cotton" I slowly ironed it onto the shirt.

I LOVE freezer paper stenciling! Check out my neat boys shirts & umbrella, 

both were done with freezer paper.

So then I took some brown puffy paint & a small brush & painted the body

of the turkey.

I took a hairdryer to help speed up the drying time so I could move onto

the next step, which is peeling the paper off.

Since the puffy paint has a great little tip on it, I drew the feathers by hand.

I kept going until I was happy, then filled in the eyes & beak.

Don't forget the feet!

And voila! There is a cute little turkey that will be ready to wear in 4 hours. 

Yeah that's right, the dry time on the puffy paint is super quick.

So why not make one while the turkey is cooking? 

Michaela is gonna love it. Have a great turkey day & thank you

again to Bella for having me!

Much love
