My mom made these Tootsie Pop turkeys for Thanksgiving, one for each place setting. It made me laugh. I laughed because it looked like something Clover would make and I was surprised that anyone has that much free time when they're cooking a meal for 25.
When I noticed she'd even bought Thanksgiving cups, she announced that she'd made them too.
When you give a grandma a glue gun...
UPDATE 2011: I posted this last year because my mom was so proud of her craftiness, even though it looked like something my son would make at preschool. Due to a demand for details, I called her to get directions, but she had just left for the "gym" (a Curves-like place near her house). Once back, she excitedly shared how she made it:
Imitation leaf
Brown Tootsie Pop
"Kissy candy" (Hershey's Kiss)
two black beads for the eyes
orange felt triangle for the beak
red felt for "whatever that gobbly thing is."
All glued together.
She asked twice where I posted this photo, and even though I've been blogging for over five years, I had to explain it again. Also she said she wished she'd gotten a manicure before the photo was taken and that this year not expect anything so crafty.
