All Saints Day

Happy All Saints Day!!

My family has a special reason why we enjoy November 1st. It is the day that my darling dad proposed to my marvelous mom. She said yes and the rest is history! I'm one lucky gal to have 2 spectacular parents who reared me in love though out my life. (Even though being the oldest, I am by far the most misunderstood. hehe.)

Today was the 2nd STSC challenge. Here is my take on the layout. I propped up the top layer on dimensionals...and slid a tag that says "Give Thanks" into that corner.

Why can't all my cards turn out this well?

Meanwhile, my friend M* came over today and we made 6 clipbaords with matching pens for her sons' teachers and specialists. After she mod-podges them, we'll meet again and add the ribbon and make some notebooks. I'll be sure to post them. They are going to be CUUUUUUUUUUTE!

Thanksgiving tradition and a winner!

Several years ago, I decided to start a little Thanksgiving tradition. I bought a medium sized decorative notebook.



This was, of course, before I had started stamping. On Thanksgiving Day, I brought it out and had everyone who was present at dinner write about what they were most grateful that year. And so, each Turkey Day, I take the notebook whereever I may be and I gather up what my extended family is grateful for. I know that I will be grateful for this small notebook in future years when I look back at the the cousins write/dictate and see the handwriting of older family members who have passed away.

So for the winner....







Your very own Thanksgiving notebook. You can use it as your own gratitude journal...or one for your extended family. Along with a package of mullberry paper and dried flowers!

Congratulations! (Seriously...I counted over a dozen times. I wanted to be sure I got it right and to be fair...especially since I know mybearybest!!)

Gift sets

I really enjoy making gift sets. My friend M* is coming over and making a bunch of clipboards for her sons' teachers and I wanted to show her some examples. I just realized that the ones I had made last August for my stalker friends never got posted! So here they are. Enjoy!

(And yes, I have sold these if any one is interested. I do take orders!)

Surprise, surprise!

I'm pleasantly surprised by the amount of posts that I have for that blog candy! So glad to "hear" a voice to some of the traffic that comes through here. My counter numbers keep going up! So, feel free to post even if there isn't blog candy up for grabs!
