This week we will be shipping all the orders  from the  last week sales, plus all the other orders too.  Therefore, I am not posting a new sale for this week.  I need to get caught up first!

I made 6 Tags today for a tag swap that I joined.  I am posting pictures below.  The rules stated that they could all be the same or different.  I used the same "ingredients" but changed each one a bit.

This is what I started with"

#5 Manila Craft Tags - ISM27966
#8 Manila Craft Tags - ISM27973

This is how they turned out.  I had so much fun making them!!!!

From Our House to Yours - Happy Thanksgiving

As many of us gather with our families today, we take time to give thanks for the many
blessings that we have in America.  We are richly blessed in so many ways. 

I want you to know how you all have blessed me these last 4 years.  Many of you have been faithful customers, prayer warriors for my Mom and have become good friends.  I cannot tell you how grateful I am for all of that.  Thank you just doesn't seem like enough, but please know Jon and I appreciate you all so very much.

We are traveling to Michigan today to have dinner with our daughter and her family.  What are you doing today?

There is not a Weekly Challenge this week as I know everyone is busy with family things and shopping.  Early tomorrow morning I will be posting some more great sales for you, so don't miss it. 

Enjoy the day and let us give Thanks to our Heavenly Father this blessed Thanksgiving Day. 

Psalm 107:1 (NIV) "Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever."

Card for Joan's Gardens #24 Weekly Challenge

Can you believe one week from today is Thanksgiving!  Where has this year gone?

I have so much to thank our Heavenly Father for that I could fill up a book.  How about you?

Please leave me a comment and tell me about your blessings!

You gals kept me so busy yesterday (another blessing) that I didn't get started on my card until about 8:00 PM last night, so I am running late this morning. 

I am so in love with Tim Hotlz Mover and Shaper's Words that I just had to use it on this week's card.  First, I cut out the pumpkin using Spellbinders Nesties and accented it with Cooper Perfect Pearls.  Then I placed Tim Holtz Movers and Shapers Base Tray on top of my A plate, laid down my card stock with the Joy die on top plus 2 B Plates and 2 shims.  Then I ran it through the Cuttlebug and it worked like a charm.  Just think of the endless possibilities  with these words!  So far, they come in Joy, Wish, Hope and Love.  I have all in stock.

One of my customers had me order this gorgeous Vine Martha Stewart Punch and when I saw it I just had to have one. (know that feeling?).  I know I will get lots of use out of it.

JustRite has a wonderful set of Thanksgiving sentiments and borders that was perfect for what I needed to finish off the card.

By the way, there will not be a Challenge next week since Thanksgiving is a busy time for all of us.  This will give you (and me) plenty of time to prepare for the big #25 challenge which will make you eligible for the grand prize by Heartfelt Creations.
