Feeling Grateful!

dividing line

We just finished celebrating Thanksgiving with two dinners in our household–one with my favorite in-laws and one hosted at my home for my side of the family. Something about the smell of turkey baking in the oven makes the holiday magic so much more tangible.

Because I’m in the “thanksgiving” mood, I thought I’d share a few items that make me feel grateful for this wonderful hobby.

I love this darling fall line from Cosmo Cricket:

And every project should have die cut paper, and I LOVE this one from Creative Imaginations:

Basic Grey always releases the most beautiful items, and Indian Summer is no exception. These lovely buttons would enhance any layout:

And because I’m a stamper, I have to share this lovely Thanksgiving set from Hero Arts:

I have so many things to be grateful for: my family, my friends, a warm home, good health, and of course the love of scrapbooking which I share with all of you. Wishing you the warmest holiday wishes!

    I volunteer at a Thrift store. If there are clothes we have to throw out because of stains etc. I cut the buttons off while I’m sorting. There are some really cool ones.
