Thankful!

This week I have had four different projects going on and someday I will be organized enough to work on one thing at a time!  What happens is that I get an idea for one and go to it, before I have finished with the previous!  Oh well, I don't think that will change and that is OK!  This is my take on Tim's 12 Tags of 2012 - NOVEMBER and I am also linking this to the Inspiration Journal's, THANKFUL. 

For the tag image, I used the flower branches from Tim's Spring Sprung stamp set.  Since I do not have the stamps Tim used, for the sentiment on the side, I used his embossing folder and kind of did my own diffuser system to just have "Blessings."  The beautiful leaves were gifted to me by my sweet friend, Vada.  I thought these were just perfect for the corner.  I did cut the acorns and branches from the Sizzlits strip and these were covered with Rock Candy Crackle (after inking) or clear embossing powder.  The back panel was inked, embossed and then highlighted.

Well there are many blessings in our lives to be thankful for and this "Thanksgiving," I am going to start counting those blessings.  I am thankful for all of you who take the time to stop by and commit, as the comments really lift my spirit!  Thank you!

Being Thankful!

First off, I am sorry that I have not been around that much this last week, but will be visiting all of your blogs next week!  With Thanksgiving, I was so busy cooking and it was just the hubby and myself!   Well I know that plenty of you were living in your kitchens!  Hope all of you who celebrated Thanksgiving had a wonderful time and those who did not the same!

I am thankful for the lovely DT at Gingersnap Creations for choosing me and this card for the "Black and Grey" challenge to receive a Ginger Gem!  Always such an honor!  Thank you!

To all my followers, new and old, I am so thankful to share with you in this creative journey!  This crafty hobby blogging world is the best.  Once in a while we actually get to meet one of our crafty blogging friends and that is exactly what I did today!  It was such a pleasure to meet up with Linda from "My Happy Place" and her husband on their way home from a camping trip!  What an adorable and sweet couple!  I was so thrilled to be able to share some real quality time!   Fun time and I sure hope we do that again soon!

The wonderful and generous Cindy from "My Whimsical Musings," sent me this gorgeous Tag!  I just love the fairy image and the flower and lace touch is sheer elegance and even the vintage advertisement bag is amazing!  Thank you so much, Cindy, for thinking of me! 

Last but not least, I was sent an invite from Nancy of "Sugar Lump Studios" for what looks to be "12 Days of Whimsy" fun!  Click the link and take a look!  There will be prizes!!!
