Project - Mother Daughter Book Club: Dear Pen Pal (Thanksgiving Place Cards)

    This project wasn't linked to any book but after reading the 3rd book in the Mother Daughter Book Club series, this seemed to fit.

    We also wanted to let our readers know how thankful we are for them. We are also thankful for our books and for our blog. So this project seemed perfect for that reason and for this season. (If you think of a good Thanksgiving themed book to do a schedule for, please let us know.)
