    I actually finished the November "wreath" before the first of the month this time around. Yeah me! Like the other door decorations I have made this year, this one cost me nothing. But, even if you had to buy some of the supplies it still shouldn't cost more than $5-$10. And I am thrilled at how our Thanksgiving Turkey Banner came out.

        As you may have noticed, we Americans have a bit of an obsession about turkeys this time of year.
