Hello everyone. I feel like November is about being grateful for everything and everyone in your life. I feel grateful all year long; but this time of year makes me very introspective about my life. I have read over the years that we become introspective when the weather starts to get cooler; so I always think of fall as falling back. It's a good time to look within and to listen to what your inner self is feeling or needing. A time to regroup, look at your priorities and a time to share your gratitude with those you love.
I am very grateful for my life and for all the people who are part of that life. That includes you - everyone who reads my blog; who follow my creations and for all those who leave the lovely compliments. I want to make sure you know that I am very grateful for each and every one of you. I feel the blogging world is one big happy family, cheering each other on with our encouragement and loving compliments for each other. I appreciate all of you and I am so happy that you are part of my life.
I created some new Thank you cards that I wanted to share. They are very simple. These two cards are my way of saying thanks to all of you and to let you know how much I appreciate you.

Supplies used to create these two cards:

ReplyDeleteThanks Faye. I agree simple is better; but I sure love to see all those gorgeous cards covered completely. I don't think I could do that; but simple is good for me. Thanks for your compliment. Have a terrific weekend!! Hugs, Gloria
DeleteOhhhh now this is my kind of "cutting" (I'm digi cutter challenged, lo) but this type of cuts I do lots of and I love it. And totally prefer clean and simple any day. Thanks so much for playing along with us in The Sisterhood of Crafters in our Thanksgiving challenge.
ReplyDeleteHi Micki. I have finally learned how to use my center point on my Cricut to cut the digi stamps using a shape. I can't cut a straight line and find it difficult cutting out an image. LOL!! But - Cricut makes it easier for me!! Thanks for your compliment. Have a lovely weekend! Hugs, Gloria
