Thanks is for Giving

These days, as I'm rereading One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp.

I'm feeling very thankful.


I don't know about you, but sometimes I get so wrapped up in all I have want 
to do that I forget to look around me and take in all my blessings.

Today I want to say thank you to all my crafty friends.
I'm so blessed to have a lot of crafty friends that I get to create with in person.
And I'm extra blessed to have so many Cyber friends who read my blog, 
and encourage me with their comments 
and constantly inspire me with their creativity!


I'm thankful to be able to join in some challenges too.

The sentiment piece was in a snippet in my "UFO" box and so was the embossed piece.


That's enough for now.

Thanks for the visit.

Enjoy!

    We have so many blessings, it's easy to take them for granted at times! I'm especially grateful for all my Christian friends, including those I've only known through the wonderful media of arts and internet. I'm continually amazed at how the Lord uses our cardmaking talents to bring such blessing to others. Thanks, Bonnie, for all your encouraging comments on my blog!

    I think we all tend to over look all the blessings we have Bonnie, I know I have many! So I have to say that Thanksgiving is just as meaningful for me as Christmas is. I hate the Thanksgiving tends to be rushed through to get to Christmas because it is just as important as Christmas to make us stop and reflect on all our blessings we have. Your card is perfect just for that! I love the embossing and I love that stamped sentient. And I feel very blessed indeed! Hugs, Brenda

    Bonnie this is a great card. Of course I love the embossing folder but you also used Old Olive one of my favorite SU! colors. Happy Turkey Day, Barb
