Thankful Blog Hop

<a href="http://afternoonscrapper.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u381/chocolatecoffeecards/thanks.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Hello and welcome to the "Thankful" Bloghop! This is the time of the year we really reflect on what we have to be thankful for. I am thankful for my husband and two beautiful daughters, God, my family, my friends, my job and co-workers, my church family, and many, MANY more things. I am also thankful to everyone who is taking time out of their busy schedule to check out the projects in this bloghop!

In addition to seeing a lot of awesome creations, there is some blog candy available too.  If you comment on everyone's bloghop post you will be entered to win the goodies.  Michelle, our host, has created a prize package that is a mix of paper, stickers, mists, stencils, stickers, and more!

Here is a picture of the candy I'm going to offer.  I'm working on the list and write up.

You should have come from Diana - http://thescrappytree.blogspot.com/. If not, please start at the beginning of the hop with Melanie at http://afternoonscrapper.blogspot.com/.

For this blog hop, I created a two-page "Thanks" layout.  I have temporarily attached the mats to the page so I can move them around if needed.  I have been trying to use what supplies I already have without spending money.  I am "thankful" I was able to complete a LO without shopping.

Supplies used:
DCWV Cardstock (I'm pretty sure the mats are the same brand; those came from my scraps folder)
ribbon (I've had this for a while; it came from the dollar section at Target)
patterned paper
square brads
CTMH stamp - "Whimsy Lowercase"
CTMH ink - Chocolate and Black
Color Box Fluid Chalk Inkpad - Creamy Brown
Cricut - Speaking of Fall cartridge - leaf tag (shift key)

I have blog candy to show my THANKFULNESS for everyone who visited my blog.  To be eligible, you must become a follower of my page and leave a comment with a way for me to contact you.  The lucky recipient will be chosen by Random.org and I will post the name Thursday, Nov. 15.

Thank you for visiting today.  Up next is the very talented Haidee at http://created2bunique.blogspot.com/

Here is the line-up in case you get lost.
