We Create Gratitude Blog Hop

Welcome to another fun Blog Hop!
November already!!! Once again, October seemed to fly by- I had no idea Halloween was only a week away when my friend posted with the same panic! Our costumes were not super well planned, but teenagers are a little tricky that way anyway.

There was a lot we didn't manage to do this October, but, now it's November and a month of gratitude is coming up! Do you do anything like that? We have a can of slips of paper with suggestions for showing gratitude for specific people in our lives, and I've also done years where I post things I am grateful for. I think maybe my favorite was the year I die cut tons of leaves and each day we wrote on a leaf something we were thankful for and stuck it on the inside of the front door. I have a lofty goal to send out thank you cards this month...ideally a different person each day, but we'll see how much I can do. Tho really, any card mailed out to brighten someone's day is a good thing.

Anyway, this month we're doing a Gratitude themed blog hop. For my card, I used the Inky Friends sketch and this beautiful Winter Woods stamp set. I love autumn leaves so that seemed a perfect fit. I sponged Crushed Curry ink on to the doily, but it doesn't show up well. And I'm just going to have to keep doing the thread bits until I get it looking right! ha!
Supplies:
Stamps: Winter Woods, At Home With You
Ink: Early Espresso, Crushed Curry
Paper: Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla card stocks
Accessories: Pearlized Doilies, Gold Thread, Metallic Sequins, Sponge, Glue Dots

Now hop on over to see what Cheryl has created. Then hop on thru to everyone's blog, and leave us your thoughts! 
And have a peaceful November!
