Hi There! ~ Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians!! This is obviously a pre-scheduled post as I should be leaving Nelson today :) Today's card is an experiment using the fabric scrap from the muslin background in my light box :) I stamped the stems onto the fabric, then glued on die cut fabric blossoms. The (whimsical) stitching around the outside is a quilt stitch on my machine. Again,I was just experimenting :) I kind of like it, though. The kraft card base is embossed with the cuttlebug leaves folder, but it's hard to see. It will be a busy week catching up on all my missed challeges...I may give myself permission to skip a few of my favourites so I don't go crazy :)

In honour of our holiday today (and the American Thanksgiving next month) I would like to leave you with my favourite Thanksgiving poem....

Reasons for Thanksgiving

To have food enough and a place to dwell,
To have work to do and do it well.
To find the comfort when things go wrong
In a bit of prayer or a snatch of song.
To know the pleasure a kind act brings,
To see the beauty in simple things.
To know good books and share their worth,
To plant bright flowers in rich brown earth.
To have true friends...this is living,
And reason enough for thanksgiving.
