Another Giving Thanks {Blog Hop} 2009 Post!!!
Welcome to the Giving Thanks {Blog Hop} 2009…
Thanks to some very amazing artists, over the next week, you will be able to hop around the web and find some amazing projects celebrating Gratitude and Creativity. We are very excited to be bringing you a cross-section of artisans, sharing their stories, creations, and thanks with all of you. Not everyone will post something everyday, but, there will be something somewhere everyday. You will just have to hop around and see what you can find. Each person participating has the full list of attendees posted, so you can hop from each one to another. We hope you find something that inspires you, sparks your creativity, or reminds you to be thankful this Thanksgiving.
From our houses to yours, please enjoy your week and our gratitude…

I promised you a project today….and here it is! I have been needing to scrap this photo of Auntie Mac and Uncle June for quite some time. I wanted to make something for Stephenie to say thanks for being my “gets it” person….and since they are Stephenie’s grandparents I thought this was a perfect time to scrap it! Auntie Mac passed away last Friday after a 10-year battle with cancer….so this was a hard one to scrap tonight. Scrap therapy is a wonderful thing, people….trust me. My keyboard practically shorted out from the tears falling onto it, but I ended up with an awesome layout for Stephenie (and myself) and who doesn’t feel better after a good ol’ cry?? Ok, enough chatting…here’s the layout!

*passing the virtual tissues to Steph* Ok…so yeah, that is probably one of my favorite photos I’ve ever taken and I hope my layout did it justice. Like I said in yesterday’s post…I’m thankful to have you as my cousin, my friend, and my partner in crime at family functions. You pretty much rock and I’m glad to know you. Love you.
I’m hoping to return tomorrow with some super cute pics of a Thanksgiving project Lily and worked on the other night….it is a riot!! Until then, go tell someone you love them and then thank them for something totally random that you love about them. I promise you’ll both feel awesome after you do it. Go on….
Mwah! xoxo
Thank you. Crying now. Love you.
