Giving Thanks

So, as the year comes to an end and with Thanksgiving just around the corner there are MANY things that I would dearly love to give thanks to.  As we have lost loved ones and have embraced many changes in our family I can certainly say that there is so much that I am thankful for.

Family is something that certainly keeps a strong bond and although it is never easy to say goodbye to loved ones we have embraced it with dear heart.  This year my husband lost both of his grandparents and it wasn't easy for him to say Goodbye, but he is truly holding on to the wonderful memories. 

If there is one thing I have learned this year is to keep dear friends very close and to let go of the  things that do us no good.  I have definitely learned alot, not only as a crafter, but as a mother and wife as well.  I have met alot of wonderful people throughout the course of this year and some good and some not so good, but I have learned to take the good, the bad, the ugly.  It does no one any good to hold grudges, so out with the bad and in with the good.

So, WHAT am I thankful of...I am certainly thankful for my Wonderful Loving Husband, my BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING children, my FAMILY, and ALL the WONDERFUL and TALENTED ladies that I have met throught the course of this year.  I have met some of the most amazing women in the craft industry, and I am very thankful for all that we have all shared to together.

I know I have been a bit distant from my crafting passion but I am just taking time to be with family and hoping to start the NEW YEAR with AWESOME creative ideas.

Wishing you all a Wonderful THANKSGIVING!    Happy Holiday's ladies and I hope to see you all again in the beginning of January!
