Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!! Even if it's not your holiday, it's a wonderful time to take a minute and reflect on your family & friends....and on the beauty of the Autumn season!

Haven't had a lot of time to create lately...I've been packing like mad and we started moving things over yesterday, so, I am a bit stiff this AM but have another full day ahead!!!

We have a lot of stuff & will be moving all of it except for the furniture & that will be done on December 8...then we'll be in our new home! YAY!!!

Wish me good weather & strength, dear friends!

Here is the Secret Sister Swap box that I received from dear Christine Shebroe....can you believe all the goodies within!!! I can't wait to play, she was very generous & I love it all!!!

Here is a pic of the top of the box along with the gorgeous heart-shaped ornament that Christine created, she is such a talented artist!!! She also sent a beautiful micro-slide pendent, a stack of vintage photos, beautiful lace, satiny vintage gloves, all sorts of vintage trims & papers....WOW!!! It was such fun pulling each item out and thinking of the thought that she put into creating this bounty!!!

Here are three of the pink & gold ornaments that I created for a Paper Whimsy ornament banner swap...we will all have & different ornaments at the end & will be able to hang them together in a lovely pink & gold swag!!!

Here is the 2nd group of ornaments!

This is one of the pages that I created for Saundra in our "Color Me Silly" RR. It is a color theme book & I chose gray.

Here is the 2nd page that I created....actually, it should be first but I boo-boo'd in uploading!

So, in parting, I wish everyone a joy-full holiday and the best of cheer. You are all so dear to me!
