Coloring Page Tuesday - Turkey Day

     The day of excessive eating draws near. Are your elastic waist-banded pants clean? Have you selected a nice gravy-colored shirt to wear so drooling and spillage are less obvious? Perhaps you just go straight to the bib action.
     Whatever you do, I hope you have a great Thanksgiving! (And a nice box of alka-seltzer at easy reach.)

Coloring Page Tuesday - American Indians

     Don't forget the reason we give thanks on Thanksgiving - the American Indians befriended the English settlers and taught them how to survive on this continent. Otherwise, they would have surely perished. It's important to think about the impact that act of kindness had on this nation and its people during our Thanksgiving.

New Idea: Coloring Page Tuesdays!

     Tomorrow I'm going to start a new feature at dulemba.com - I'll post a free coloring page every Tuesday which you can download and color.
     And if you send you're colored image back to me (please send them as small .jpg's), I'll post 'em. Well, at least three of them - we'll have to see how many I get. Seeing as this is a new thing, we'll play that one by ear.
     I've done a little bit of this kind of thing already with my birthday cake (thanks to all who sent back a colored cake!) and it was so much fun. I love seeing what all you creative people come up with.
     So check back tomorrow for the first Coloring Page Tuesday download!
