Happy Thanksgiving – Grand Nestabilities Blog Candy

You’ve been in my thoughts today, so I had to check your site. I’m glad you posted and the card is gorgeous, of course. Praying for you as this holiday season is upon us. God be with you.ReplyCancel

What a generous offer. I look forward to seeing your creations everyday and still can’t master the beautiful bows you make.ReplyCancel

Wow…I just checked your site and there was no update…and now there is one…lol
I’m from Canada, so my Thanksgiving was last month, but I like to give thanks every day for all that I have, for many have far less than I.
I’m thankful for my family, friends (those that I can see…and the ones that I cannot physically see because they are online :) )
There is far too much in life to give thanks to, so I am happy that I have the capability to overlook the things that I can’tReplyCancel

My favorite part is the quiet time of reflection of my many blessings, an eternity with the Lord, especially.ReplyCancel

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOURS!!! May God carry you and your family thru this day and may you feel His presence all day! My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the family all being here a Mimi’s house! My oldest grandson gave me that name when he was little and it’s just stuck!!! We love you, Becca and pray for God’s strength in your life! You are such in inspiration to us w/your loving spirit! Hugz, C:o)ReplyCancel

Love your site and your creative talents. I would love to win some blog candy. Happy Thanksgiving. {Hugs}ReplyCancel

Happy Thanksgiving, Becca! I am inspired by your talents and am so thankful that you share your wonderful projects and ideas with us all. And on top of all that, you offer us some awesome blog candy, too! Wow!! Thanks for the chance to win :)
Hugs,

Your cards are always as beautiful as you are. I’m sure this is a very hard day to get past this year, but I know your faith is strong & you will do it.
Normally, my favorite part of Thanksgiving is spending it with my daughter & her family & helping my grandson make a gingerbread house that they will keep up until after Xmas. This year, however, we had to put my mother in a nursing home & I spent it there with her & Dad. Although her Alzheimer’s has advanced & she can’t keep us company, it was a comfort just to know we were there with her & she was not alone. Families & friends are your biggest blessing in life.ReplyCancel

Wow–thanks for your generosity. It’s great to be mindful of the holiday and to actively be aware of the gifts I have in my life.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca! I hope you are doing well this Thanksgiving Day. I know how difficult holidays can be so know you are still in my thoughts and prayers.

As for my favorite part of Thanksgiving it has to be the dinner that my husband and I prepare together. It’s just he and I, but we do the traditional dinner… he does the turkey and I do the rest with help from him when I need it! LOL!! Then we have plenty of leftovers for days to come! ReplyCancel

Hello Becca, Wishing you and your family a wonderful thanksgiving day full of God’s blessings. I’m thankful for a loving husband and family. Hugs, Nellie.ReplyCancel

You are a truely talented person, I have been admiring your work for quite some time!

One of my favourite parts of Thanksgiving is those moments when the kids are playing and I sort of sit back and soak it all in. I realize just how blessed we are and how often we take it forgranted. I always try to tell myself to never forget just how blessed we are.

Thank you for the opportunity to win the blog candy, and what generous candy it is!!ReplyCancel

I just wanted to say that I am grateful for all the wonderful people that share their crafting talents with us on a daily basis. I have learned so much from you and you have inspired me more than you could ever know. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family:)ReplyCancel

Wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving day! You are, without a doubt, the most beautiful, generous and gracious woman I have ever known. May you have family and friends close today and may our most gracious Heavenly Father smile down upon you and give you comfort and peace! Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us and I am so grateful that you can find comfort in creating these beautiful pieces of art. Please know that each and every one of your blog people loves you and prays for you continuously! Happy Thanksgiving Day!!!ReplyCancel

A wealth of sincere well wishes from my family to yours, this Thanksgiving and deep sympathy to you, for your recent loss.
My family has been going through some losses ourselves. In 2007 my father passed away suddenly, spring of this year my SIL passed from two cancers, and my FIL has stage 4 cancer, so I know your pain.
This Thanksgiving, I am so very thankful for the wonderful memories with them (and all my family), and that I was blessed enough to have been able to say that I know them and they were part of my family. I know we will all see each other when we get to Heaven, but until then I will remember them with joy in my heart!ReplyCancel

Thanksgiving to me is family and more important than that is the love that Jesus gives me. I want to wish you a blessed holiday Becca and hope that it can be special in spite of not enjoying it with your John today. The blog candy is wonderful!ReplyCancel

Becca,

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers today.

I am thankful for the many blessings that God has graciously bestowed freely on me- his redeeming love, my family and friends, my health.
May God always bless you. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents with us all.

Happy Thanksgiving, Becca! You are in inspiration to all of us. And I am so thankful that I found your blog! My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the food. We don’t often have the food during the year that we have on Thanksgiving so it’s a special treat. Wishing you and your family a very special day!ReplyCancel

You are the sweetest person! I am glad to have you as an inspiration!ReplyCancel

Becca Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I hope that day by day things get a little easier for all of you!

I love the dinner and time with family . My favorite part of Thanksgiving is all the left overs!! I love to go the the fridge tonight and for a couple of days and find delicious food to snack on. :)ReplyCancel

I’m glad things are going well for you! This is my first year apart from family this Thanksgiving. It will be hard, but I know everyone is having a good time apart. The best part of my family’s Thanksgiving would have to be the food fight. Mind you we are all grown adults now, but ever since we were kids, we end the dinner with a full out food fight. Chasing each other around, stuffing potatoes up the nose, with whip cream in the ears. True we have to clean up afterwards, but it’s something we look forward to every year. Sadly no food fight this year, but we have plenty of pictures to look back on. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!ReplyCancel

Hello Becca,

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, I am truly humbled by your ability to find the positive at such a tough time. What a great testimony you are and such a great encouragement too, bless YOU!

I absolutely love fall and fall colors, leaves, etc and think that your latest project is just gorgeous. Thanks for the opportunity to win this blog candy.

Know that I have been thinking of you and your family, and will continue to pray for you at this difficult time. My heart aches, yet I know that our Heavenly Father knows and He cares more than we can even understand, and He is our God of all comfort.

Blessings to you, Becca.ReplyCancel

Hi I am from Canada also, but I am thankful each day that I get no sleep from screaming babies, that the kisses I get from my daughter are big and wet and that my son is alive today to see her do such silly things. (and also for BC Children’s hospital for saving his life)

And for Becca’s fabulous site!ReplyCancel

My favourite part of any celebration is having my family around me – it does not have to be any holiday in particular. I am so thankful that my family is united and that there are no members absent, apart from those who have passed on.

I am sure you can appreciate that. I have been praying for you and I do admire your work – you are a true inspiration. Thank you.ReplyCancel

Happy Thanksgiving Becca to you and your family. I am one of your admirers from across the border. Although our Thanksgiving is over, I am always thankful for the family and friends that I have and those online, like you, who give me inspiration. Thanks you for all your beautiful cards. And thank you for the chance to win. God Bless.ReplyCancel

Happy Thanksgiving Becca to you and your family. My dad passed away in September and so our Thanksgiving was a day of remembering all the goods days we had with him. The first holidays will be the hardest.
You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless

I am thankful for my family this year , I lost my uncle in May my mom in June, and Oct 24 my sister in law , we are still at my brothers in Savannah GA so that he would not have to spend Thanksgiving alone. My wonderful kids 19-25 drove down this week so that we could all be together , even though two of them had to get up at 3am to head back to Michigan for work tomorrow. My kids are the most wonderful kids you could ever ask for as they have driven here 3 times in the last 5 weeks also there first ever road trip where they were doing the driving.
I am also Thanksful for the inspiration that you have given me Becca, after your Dear John passed ( i was here in ga it broke my heart to feel as if I had lost another loved one) I went back and read your first blog and realized that I had been putting my life on hold after my husband lost his job 3 years ago helping him to send out resumes and getting my kids in collage ,that the other day after reading about John and how you turned to blogging i said TODAY I will start my own blog and not wait for “life to slow down” Making cards for our homebound at church and our local cancer center and childrens hospital is what has kept me going over the years and I love waking up everyday to see your post with my cup of coffee. So I am thankful for my family and wonderful blog family who share their wonderful ideals. LIZReplyCancel

Love your special touches – and that you’re willing to share them! My favorite part of Thanksgiving is, after all of the hustle and bustle of getting the big meal on the table, taking time to just stop and express gratitude to our Heavenly Father – often we will go around the table and in one sentence just say, “I’m especially thankful this year for……..”. Makin’ those memories…ReplyCancel

Becca, my favorite part of Thanksgiving is feeling close to those who are no longer with us by using favorite family recipes that they passed down to us and china or serving pieces such as a little ceramic turkey for the cranberry sauce that my 98 year old grandmother made for me years ago. It is these little things that keep the with us in our hearts on special days. Wishing you all peace during the holidays.ReplyCancel

You have been in my thoughts too today dear friend. I know, how you feel, as I lost my own mum 3 years ago in the week before christmas, and I know, what it does to one on such a day.
We don´t have Thanksgiving here in Denmark, where I live, but I just love the christmas very very much instead then, and what I love the most about that, is that this is the time of year, where I have all my kids and grandkids around all on the same time, and that is something that´s very rare, as we´re a pretty big family, but always at christmas, which makes it the best holiday we have here, and I hope, you´ll have a christmas like ours filled with wonderful traditions, we al share together.
Big warm hugs MAryannReplyCancel

My favorite thing about thanksgiving is spending time with family and friends,and thanking God for his blessings.ReplyCancel

I am so thankful every day for all my blessings, and they are many! Today I am so grateful for my DH and our four wonderful children and their families. May your day be full of love and joy, Becca, you are amazing.ReplyCancel

I was thinking about you and said” think I’ll go check the computer” And there you were. I know that today will be hard for you – but it’s just another baby step. So have a wonderful Thanksgiving. And thanks for a chance at such great blog candy.ReplyCancel

Happy Thanksgiving, Becca. Your Thanksgiving design is amazing! Today was a quiet day for my husband and me. We worked together to create a special meal to share and that is what I liked best about this Thanksgiving day.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca, I pray that the Lord is giving you continued peace and that your have a wonderful time with your family. Im thankful for the Lord and the strength He gives me to persevere and for my treasured family and friends.ReplyCancel

Becca, I was thinking of you and praying for you this morning. I also have much to be thankful for
hugs and blessings to youReplyCancel

Becca, blessings to you today. I know this is a difficult day for you, all of the first without your loved ones are especially trying times. You do inspire some many with your talents and your words of wisdom which I know comes from your deep faith.

I love Thanksgiving because it is a day that we focus on family, friends and all that we have to be incredible thankful for. Regardless of what everyday life hands us, we put it aside today, and focus on thankfulness. And when we take the time to look, we find that we truly are blessed.

Happy thanksgiving!!!!!!ReplyCancel

Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity. Best wishes to you and yours.ReplyCancel

My favorite part about Thanksgiving is that we were married around Thanksgiving time and our anniversary falls on Thanksgiving every 5th, 6th and 11th year. OUr 25th anniversary was on Thanksgiving Day. It seemed liek a nice time of year to get married when we were planning it.ReplyCancel

Happy Thanksgiving Becca. Now that my kids are grown and starting Families of their own and have new extended Family, I don’t see them as often as I would like. Spending time with Family today has to be my favorite part. Oh! and the mashed potatoes.ReplyCancel

We as Canadians celebrated Thanksgiving already but “Giving Thanks” is in my heart a lot!Today I am just grateful for you because you get my mojo going. I am thankful for all the wonderful ideas you’re filling our heads with!This weekend I like to use some of them and get some cards made! God Bless YouReplyCancel

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Becca and family. I know God will carry you and your family thru this day and may you feel His presence all day! My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the family all being together.

May you walk with God always.

I, too, have so much to be thankful for. Thanksgiving blessings to you, Becca.ReplyCancel

The Holidays are the hardest, but I promise, with God and time you will be fine,it does get easier. My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the opportunity to cook for my family, then watch em eat til they could bust. God Bless you and know you are loved by so so many! Happy Thanksgiving!ReplyCancel

Happy Thanksgiving! My favorite memories of Thanksgiving is when I was small and we’d travel to Grandma’s every year for a grand feast. After dinner we’d go to the living room and sing and play Christmas music and sing…sing…sing. It was the beginning our our Christian season and oh how much fun and enjoyment we had. My kids are grown…making their own memories and it’s so great to hear the music continuing. God is so good! He blessed you with a wonderful husband who we loved too, he was so good to you and in turn you blessed us all. You have someone in the heavens watching over you…a true blessing. I do have the Grand Caliber, however don’t have the die cut offered. Thank you… God ble ss you all!ReplyCancel

Hi Becca,
Happy Thanksgiving though I know it must be very difficult for you and your family this year. Christmas is our main holiday in the UK and it is the day all my family come together and I so love that. Hope the next year is a happier one for you and thank you so much for your wonderful blog full of fantastic crafting ideas – always so inspirational!ReplyCancel

The first’s of all things tradional after losing someone is the hardest thing to do. For our family after losing 3 key family members within 5 years has pressed us into developing new tradions. I miss the “old” ways of celebrating Thanksgiving but at times I must give myself permission to enjoy some of our new ones. Filling our house with people in the old and new ways is the best part of any holiday. We pray for you and your family during your year long journey of first’s.ReplyCancel

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is that it makes people stop and think of how blessed they are, no matter what else is going on in their life. Thanksgiving should not be just one day per year though- it should be everyday- a thought of gratitude, extra love spread around, and a bit of extra kindness shown each day by each of us would make the world a much nicer place.ReplyCancel

Fantastic design! Becca I’m thankful that my husband and four children have all recovered from life threatening health issures from a broken back to brain surgery last week. God is so GREAT! The frosting on the cake is that when I reached my mother’s nursing home today she knew who I was today!ReplyCancel

I am thankful that you are so willing to share your incredible talent with us – even during this difficult time for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca, This has to be a tough holiday, but I know you are focusing on the blessings with your husband. Prayer and hugs sent your way. It’s just my husband and I this year, kids are scattered, and doing there own things. But have talked on the phone to those who we don’t see often. And some email wishes too! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your friends and family!ReplyCancel

Becca-As many have said, you’re in my thoughts today too!! I so admire your strength. My favorite part of Thanksgiving is all the foods I don’t normally have the rest of the yearReplyCancel

Blessings and prayers for you and your family during this difficult time. The first year there are so many markers that leave an empty place in your heart and at the table. {{{Hugs}}}

I am always thankful for being able to see and use my hands. So many times I stop and think about how lucky I am to be able to move about so freely and do so many things we mostly take for granted. I don’t know how I would manage if I couldn’t create!

Thank you for sharing and creating! You are simply…amazing!!! :o)ReplyCancel

Happy Thanksgiving to you too! Thank you for the chance at the generous blog candy, that is so kind. I love the kindness that happens on Thanksgiving, and spending time with those I love.ReplyCancel

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is family, the greatest blessing God can give. You have been in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that He will make your seasons full of holidays past and all that He alone can give you for a wonderful future.ReplyCancel

Blessings on this Thanksgiving Day.ReplyCancel

What a sweet person your are! I hope your Thanksgiving Day was as special as it could be.

On Thanksgiving Day, I love seeing family members who I don’t see often enough during the year and spending time with the ones I do see.
It’s so fun to watch each one laugh as they tell a story or the kids laugh as they play with each other.
We had a wonderful day today and of course I’m stuffed. Are you ready for seconds?

Thanks for being you and sharing your time and talents with us. I am an avid follower, I just don’t post too often.

Take care,

Even though we can’t be together this holiday, I am so thankful for the health and safety of my children. God has blessed me in so many ways and although I don’t always thank Him for these blessings, I know where they come from! My favorite part of the whole day is DESSERT~!!!!! This is the only day of the year that I allow myself to eat as much Sweet Potato Pie as I want and boy, have I broken a record today!
I am thankful that you have family around you today and that you are doing well.

“Happy Thanksgiving ” to you and your family……I have thought about you today and sent a prayer your way……..love you bunches……..
My favorite is that all my children and grandchildren are here with me…..and to hear the children laughter, again in my home……ReplyCancel

Dearest Becca :o)

How sweet of you to think of others as you do, even at this difficult time. You are truly an inspiration.

I wish you a blessed thanksgiving. Your card is awesome!

It’s a celebration that we do not have across the pond, but perhaps we should instigate it. We are surrounded by so many blessings and often fail to appreciate them.

This evening, my nephew joined me to thread raisins and sweets on cocktail sticks, ready for our Christingle service. We take oranges (a symbol for the earth) and apply a strip of red tape (symbolising the blood of Jesus) around the outside. A hole is cut in the top and a candle (light of the world) is placed on a piece of silver foil and then pushed into the hole until stable. Four cocktail sticks symbolise the four seasons (goose quills were originally used) which bear raisins and sweets – to symbolise the fruits of the earth. The service originated in the Moravian Church and The Children’s Society introduced it to the UK. The service is held in the evening and the candles are lit. Everyone collects a candle whilst singing carols and a ring of light is made around the Church. When the circle is complete, we sing ‘Silent Night, Holy Night’.

My dear mother was a local secretary for the society and introduced the service to our home Church decades ago. Although she is no longer with us, we continue the tradition and will be preparing the oranges this weekend. The service is really early this year. As a child, we kept our Christingles intact and re-lit them on Christmas morning.

There are several images of Christingles on the net if you are interested.

God bless you and yours, Becca.

Hugs

I’m thinking of you on this Thanksgiving Day. I know it is a very difficult time for you but havig family near helps so much. I am thankful for my wonderful hubby, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildlren. I am thankful for health, home, happiness, friends, crafting, and everything good that has happened to me over the years. I wish you peace and comfort.ReplyCancel

What wonderful project! Great job. I love it! My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is having all the family together. Family is everything.ReplyCancel

Your cards are always lovely,Thankful for family,friends,health,my
church family,Thinking of you this time of year you are in my thoughts and prayers,you are a blessing……Have a blessed day.
CindyReplyCancel

I know your heart is grieving, and yet you have made the choice to bless others during your time of transition. God will continue to bless you even as you bless others.

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the opportunity to take the time from everything else to more fully realize how much I have to be grateful for.
So far no one has really been able to comercialize the holiday to a great extent, so that it remains a day to choose to to be grateful for friends, family, our homes, health, etc.
For once , a holiday that is not about “stuff” but about gratitude and appreciation.

Thank you for the chance to win some blog candy.
SallyannReplyCancel

You are an inspiration to so many people…God bless youReplyCancel

One of the best things about Thanksgiving for me is reflecting on all the things I have to be so grateful for and this year it’s having our children and daughter-in-law here with us for several days. It’s very difficult to be able to get everyone together, being spread out all over the east coast, and Thanksgiving seems to be the time we can all get together more than any other.

I just got a Grand Caliber about a month ago and would love, love, love to win those dies!

So good to have you posting again, Becca. My thoughts continue with you each day that it will be a little easier than the day before.ReplyCancel

my favorite part of Thanksgiving is catching up with family and remembering past years, when our children were small, and now some of them have children joining in the traditions. thanks for a chance to win the blog candy, I am thankful that you are sharing your talent with all of usReplyCancel

Hello Becca – what a beautiful project you have created – as always! I love your Blog and the inspiration you bring – you are a living tesitmony of the FAITHFULNESS of God – you certainly shine through any situation and are indeea beautiful vessel for the Lord to dwell in!
Thank you for the opportunity to play for this fabulous Candy – I am blessed to be getting a Grand Calibur and would love something to run through it – LOL! We dont officially celebrate Thanksgiving here in Australia BUT we should! I am thankful for so many things – especially for the Love of God – His mercies that are new every morning! For family and friends! God bless you Sistah! {{{Hugs}}}ReplyCancel

Always a great pleasure watching your blog, I get real pleasure. I am grateful to God for what greeted you and many other friends in cyberspace! Grateful for that win her illness with breast cancer, and there is, and your merit! Thank you. RinaReplyCancel

Happy Thanksgiving Becca, to you and your family. My favorite part of Thanksgiving is enjoying a delicious dinner with my family. Thank you Becca for sharing your wonderful creations with us.ReplyCancel

Hi, Becca! I am very thankful for the opportunity to share the day with my family. This year has had its challenges and it is times like this that reminds me of how fortunate I am to have my family near me. And, I am also for grateful for people like you who so lovingly share their talent with us. Bless you!ReplyCancel

What I like about Thanksgiving is being with family & friends. You & your family continue to be in my prayers.ReplyCancel

In Canada, our Thanksgiving is earlier than yours, so we had the advantage of having very nice weather…….compared to now which is very cold and very snowy. It was lovely.
Your card is just stunning.
Wishing you and yours all the best.
IreneReplyCancel

Becca que maravilloso trabajo, bendiciones para tí y tu familia, gracias por compartir con nosostros, saludos cariñosos IreneReplyCancel

Becca, how sweet of you to offer blog candy. One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is pumpkin pie! Yummy!ReplyCancel

Well, I won’t be able to comment every day, since I won’t have access to a computer every day, but I can tell you that my favorite part of Thanksgiving is the chance to slow down and think about all the good things in our lives. Life isn’t easy and some years are very difficult, but one can always find many, many, MANY blessings.

Praying for you often, Becca. The death of a loved one is hard at any time of the year, but close to the holidays makes it extra difficult. Nov. 6 was the fifth anniversary of our son’s death and the holidays have been forever changed.

I think of you and pray for you, knowing you are in pain. The only way through is THROUGH and the Lord is there every step of the way. ~LindaReplyCancel

‘thinking of you today, Becca, and hoping your Thanksgiving was blessed and full of fond memories.
Thanks for the op to win the goodies! I think my most favorite thing about Thanksgiving is the 3 days that follow so I can recuperate and rest. Although I LOVE to cook, I am exhausted after preparing all the food. And I am so THANKFUL that Thanksgiving is not on a Sunday every year! Hugs from central FL… :)ReplyCancel

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the fact that the emphasis is on family time together and not on gift giving.
Thanks for offering blog candy.
Mary JaneReplyCancel

Hi Becca! Hope your Thanksgiving was a peaceful one! Thanksgiving to me means family through thick and thin! No matter what the difficulties family unity is so important. With Thanksgiving we know Christmas is around the corner and it’s time for card making. Actually I started several weeks ago and did some to include your ideas-thanks!ReplyCancel

I love thanksgiving because its a time for ‘everyone’ to take time out to look around and assess the good things that they have in their lives. There are so many people worse off than me and I may not have too much but I’m thankful for the things I have available to me including my freedom in the good USof A. thank you for sharing your creations and Happy day to you and everyone around you.ReplyCancel

Thanks for the unlimited kindness you constantly show your readers with your amazing artwork and giveaways. I am a very happy subscriber to your blog so I don’t miss an entry.

Things I am thankful include everything from my two wonderful children and the rest of my family to the occasional Starbucks I treat myself to. I am so thankful to live in the USA and my religious freedom.ReplyCancel

This Thanksgiving I am so blessed. I got to play a rousing game of “pin the hat on the turkey” with my 4 year old grand daughter and feel the 2 new teeth my 6 month old grand daughter just got! Our Great Lord, He is generous indeed!ReplyCancel

Happy Thanksgiving Becca, though I am sure it is a tough one for you this year……
I am most and always thankful for my family. At any time of the year, but especially if we can get together for holidays. It doesn’t happen often but my heart is always with them :o)
Thank you for this chance at your blog candy ~
Hugs, CandyReplyCancel

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I think the one thing that I am most thankful for is the memories of the holidays past, when no one had passed yet and we couldnt fathom that life would be any different than we knew it then. Today, most of my beloved aunts and uncles, my grandparents and my father share Thanksgiving with me in my memories and heart. A bittersweet time but so thankful for the memories. Today has to be tough for Becca and her family and I pray that their day will have been filled with many happy memories of times past.ReplyCancel

Being from across the pond we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving like you guys do, so my favourite holiday time is Christmas. Seeing the wonderful smiles and looks of awe on little children’s faces as their dreams come true. Watching nativity plays in infant and junior schools are also a favourite of mine :)
Hugs and positive vibes heading your way Becca at this sad time.

I hope you are with family today Becca. I look forward to your posts – you are an incredible woman and your projects are absolutely fabulous! I am from Canada so we had our Thanksgiving in October, but my favorite part has to be the turkey!ReplyCancel

You are quite an inspiration. Your generous heart continues to shine through and I pray your heart will continue to know peace.ReplyCancel

Wow, what a spectacular creative item. Love it. My favorite part of Thanksgiving is having my family sitting at the table together. With everyone growing up and do their own thing, just having a family sit down is my blessing. Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyCancel

Thanksgiving blessings to you and your family Becca. My favorite thing about Thanksgiving…. this year anyway… is that it is also my daddy’s birthday. I am so blessed to be 51 years old and still have my father (who turned 72 today) near me. I am an only child so I really only have them and then my family. I continue to pray for you Becca. Your unwavering faith in our heavenly father is a great example of loving trust for all Christians.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. My favorite part of Thanksgiving is being with my family. Since we are spread out over Texas it is good to be together and share how our lifes have gone throughout the year.ReplyCancel

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is spending time with family members I don’t see very often.ReplyCancel

I have been inspired over and over by looking at your beautiful artistry! What I love most about Thanksgiving is the spirit of thankfulness for all the blessings that flow from above both naturally and especially spiritually.ReplyCancel

Happy Thanksgiving to you and thank you for the opportunity to win something just for visiting. My favorite part of Thanksgiving, or any holiday, is being with my family.ReplyCancel

Becca!
I have never posted before but I want you to know what an inspiration you are to many, many friends (you don’t even know). Your unwavering faith is amazing. Your work is beautiful and I only wish I was your next door neighbor so I could learn from a true master. Thanks for your beautiful daily emails. They are the joy of my day.ReplyCancel

Time with family and friends – or just thinking about them – is my favorite part of Thanksgiving!
Dear Becca, thinking of you on this Thanksgiving. You and your lovely family are in my prayers! May God bless you!ReplyCancel

My favorit part of Thanksgiving is sitting around our table, having conversation and being a familyReplyCancel

My favorite part of Thanksgiving….is the whole fall atmosphere comes to a head that day. We get to sort of wrap up the year with a moment to pause and think of all we are thankful for.
I pray you are blessed this year…you and your family.ReplyCancel

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is taking time out to really think about what it is I am thankful for and sharing it with others which includes the whole family or all who can be in attendance for the Thanksgiving feast. This year I actually stated on facebook each day something that I am thankful for, so it had more meaning than ever before for me. Blessings to you and yours, Becca.ReplyCancel

Becca, my thoughts are with you, the first set of holidays are very difficult after losing a spouse, but your faith will sustain you.
Of course my very favorite part of Thanksgiving is being with family, and creating wonderful memories.
CheriReplyCancel

My thoughts and prayers still remain with you and your family as you go through this time of grief. I lost my brother in May of this year, and am still missing him. I am so happy that your can find some relief from your creating beautiful pieces of art (cards) and your blog.

My most treasured blessings is my family, and I was especially blessed this year with a visit for Thanksgiving by my daughter and 2 of my grandchildren (which I haven’t seen in 3 years). My family is the backbone of our lives. After losing a treasured sister-in-law, father-in-law, niece and brother in the last 5 years, makes treasuring the remaining family members all the more. In addidtion to them, we are blessed with a wonderful church bible study group, a wonderful pastor, and church which feeds us spiritually.

The Lord has blessed us in so many ways, that it is impossible to count or even think of them all at once. The Lord is good.ReplyCancel

I am thankful for my family and my job. I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts during this time.ReplyCancel

What does it mean to be thankful? Being ever mindful of the good people in my life, wonderful memories that regularly make me smile and sometimes brings me to tears. To have a wonderful husband that supports me, 2 wonderful children that think I am hard on them at times, but know I love them endlessly, a job that I am glad to be at each day and health that always reminds me how blessed I am for having great health. Yes I am thankful for much in my life.

Many thoughts and prayers for you and yours as to work your way through the coming year with all the wonderful memories you cherish in your heart!ReplyCancel

Thanks for the chance at some blog candy……I’ve never won any, but anything is possible.
What I love about Thanksgiving, is when everyone in our family sits around the table together, and tells what they are thankful for the most! Its quite enlightening sometimes!
I’m thankful for you too……you help so much when the crafting mojo is just not there!!ReplyCancel

Happy Thanksgiving Becca!!
I am very thankful for my family.
I only have two sisters left and they have helped me through some very difficult times.
I love them dearly.
We had a very Thankful Thanksgiving with 22 family members.
We Also found out that my Sister that raised 4 boys alone is going to have a Granddaughter in March.
Her birthday is March 14. She passed away in December 2006 just 10 months before my Sweet Husband did on October 31,2007
I believe she knows, and I pray that
Allie will be born on the 14th.
Three of her 4 boys was with us today and that was a very big Blessing!!
I am keeping you in my prayers that as time goes by so will the pain.ReplyCancel

Dear Becca, Happy Thanksgiving. You have been through so much in the last few months and I am in awe of your strength.
Our Thanksgiving is in October and I was so thankful to have family and friends to share it with. The joy and laughter that surrounded us made it a very special day.ReplyCancel

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time for gathering with family …if only in your thoughts and friends. I think of fond memories too of years gone by. My thoughts and prayers are with you too!ReplyCancel

When you are a Child of God…there is a common bond with other Children of God. I feel like you are my sister… and you are my sister in Christ. My heart goes out to you this holiday season and you are in my prayers. I buried my Mom 10 years ago on the day before Thanksgiving. If there is one thing I know it’s that having Christ in your like makes it easier to handle her passing. I miss her so much…Be encouraged and keep the Faith…Be blessed…Hugs…ReplyCancel

Happy Thanksgiving! We spent the holiday at my cousins house. It was a mixture of my family and his girlfriends family. Some I had never met. Even so, I sat back a couple times just watching and listening, realizing that everyone was enjoying themselves and it felt like we’d been family forever. For that, I was thankful.ReplyCancel

Happy Thanksgiving Becca!! I’m 7000 miles away from my family and loved ones this year so things were a little different for me … but I am still so very thankful for many many things!! One of my favorite parts of thanksgiving is pie :) I wish you and your family a blessed day!ReplyCancel

My favorite part is about 8pm , when the kitchen is cleaned up, and those I love are relaxing doing their thing–and then they start to pull the leftovers out of the frig.ReplyCancel

Happy Thanksgiving Becca! My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is spending time with my family. Of course I enjoy the food too. :) And the sales papers for Black Friday. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win. Hugs to you & your family. I’ve been thinking about you & still remember you in my prayers. :)ReplyCancel

Dearest Becca:

You and your family continue to be in my prayers. We just came home from our our family Thanksgiving celebration at our daughter’s home. One of the highlights of the day was my four year old grand daughter “reading” me the story of the first Thanksgiving. It was neat to see that she is begining to understand the many reasons we have to be thankful. It is always a blessing to have loved ones around us.

Bless you.ReplyCancel

I am first and foremost thankful for my wonderful family. My husband and I have two great children of whom we are so proud of. They have blessed us with a daughter-in law and a son-in-law and between them 5 really great grandchildren! I am also thankful and blessed that we live in this great land of the United States. Sometimes I think we take so much for granted as we have been so fortunate that God in his great mercy placed us here. Everything we have comes from God and we give thanks to him.ReplyCancel

Becca- You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
My favorite part of celebrating Thanksgiving is having my adult children here with us, as well as my 19 year granddaughter. We are also blessed to have my Mom continue to share a good life at her 80 years of age to continue in our family traditions!ReplyCancel

Yeah, it is still Thursday here! 11:25 to be exact. I don’t celebrate anything except my anniversary. My favourite part is to have a special dinner out with my husbAnd at a restaurant we have never been to or don’t usually go to. It is nice to have wine and a quiet dinner.ReplyCancel

Becca
Do you ever take a day off :) just kidding. I am thankful to be home with my parents and brother and listening to my kids laughing while Troy throws them in the air, not to mention all the yummy food!
Hope you took some time to make too much food and eat too much food with your kids! Blessings to you all! And Peace that passes all understanding! God has heard your payersReplyCancel

Becca, thank you for sharing this great opportunity to win this wonderful set of Nestibilities.
God Bless you and your family this holiday season.ReplyCancel

One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is reflecting on all the things that I have to be thankful for. I hope you and yours had a good day; I know that it must have been rough – hugs to you.ReplyCancel

Most thankful for my family and my dad’s improved health. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. I know the holidays are very tough after the loss of a loved one. You will be in my thoughts and prayers this holiday season.ReplyCancel

BECCA BECCA IT WAS REALLY GREAT TO SEE THE AMAZING GRACE
UP ON THE TOP OF THE ARTICLE. I AM SURE IT MUST HAVE BEEN HARD
TO GO THRU THE DAY BUT WITH YOUR MEMORIES, IT WILL GET EASIER.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THANKSGIVING IS THE FAMILY BEING TOGETHER WITH A FRIEND TO FILL THE EMPTY CHAIR. ALSO HELPING OUT A
NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH DINNERS. GOD HAS BEEN GOOD TO US
AND THEREFORE, WE MUST SHARE WITH OTHERS. BLESSINGS TO YOU
AND YOUR FAMILY.

Stunning card! May God bless you and yours on this Thanksgiving day and every day of the year.ReplyCancel

Happy Thanksgiving to all! My favorite part of Thanksgiving is when I finally get to sit down and get off my feet to enjoy all my hard work. I love everyone so excited to finally get to eat after smelling everything cook all day and getting shooed out of the kitchen constantly telling them not to fill up because dinner is on its way. Then the table action with everyone passing the food back and forth and all the laughter and chatter and threats to save them that because it is their favorite and the funny stories about the time something went wrong when cooking. But my absolute best part is when we all stop and it is quiet and reverent and we give thanks for the day and for the meal and for all that is good in our lives. I guess this all equals family!ReplyCancel

Happy Thanksgiving Becca. Here in Australia we do not celebrate Thanksgiving but a holiday I do love is Christmas of course….and my favourite thing then is time with family, to unwind and enjoy being together without the normal pressures of our busy lives. xLReplyCancel

Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us. And thank you for the generous blog candy.ReplyCancel

Wow, that is really kind of you. My favorite part of Thankgiving is having family together. I live far from my family so I do not get to see them very often. This year my oldest daughter could not come home for Thanksgiving and I really missed that. I did have my youngest daughter here and she brought her boyfriend with. It was nice to actually have time to sit at the table and visit with both of them since they are usually off and running somewhere.ReplyCancel

I forgot my comment about Thanksgiving…..I am so thankful to be able to spend time with my sister and her family and reflect on all God has done in our lives. And even though my nieces are 18 and 20 they still love to play board games and I am so thankful for their sharing hugs, laughter, good food and lots of fun and especially LOVE!!!

Hi Becca.
happy thanksgiving to you and your family.
We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving her in Australia but I have so much to be thankful for. I have survived breast cancer having had a double mastectomy three years ago and two months ago I had my right kidney removed. Unfortunately the cancer had gone outside the kidney and into the renal vein and the fat surrounding. Our lives are in His hands and I thank God for every day. I thank him for my family and the roof over my head. The food on the table and the sun that kisses our face. Most of all I thank Him that I am his child.
Hugs MazReplyCancel

I have alot to be thankful for especially today. I woke up this morning to get ready to go to thanksgiving breakfast and my roomate of almost 20 years asked me to call an ambulance for her. She had 5 heart attacks about 5 years ago, before the dr’s ever figured it out. A couple of years ago she had breast cancer. She has been sick for a few weeks now and took off of work. Her heart doctor said she was fine and he would see her next year. Dr’s are NOT God! She went to another heart specialist and he put her imediately on a transplant list and she was to have a heart cath next week. They ended up doing it today. Mind you she has been living on half a heart for 5 years, and was never even offered a transplant. They said there was nothing to be done. Today after her cath they put in 3 stints and 10 balloons to oprn her only working artery. When I saw her, she said she felt the difference right away. She is comming home tomorrow!ReplyCancel

My favorite time of Thanksgiving is stopping to reflect on all the things I have to be thankful for in the past year, especially the things that have been trials but also made me a better person!ReplyCancel

Thanksgiving it my day to count my blessing in the past year and thank God for what He has done. Hugs, MaryReplyCancel

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is being able to spend time with family! Our kids are grown and just like everyone’s kids they are so busy! But at Thanksgiving they come home and act like there is nothing else in the world they need to be doing but spending time with us! It is such a wonderful feeling to have their undivided attention for a couple of hours! We are well blessed with two beautiful daughters and 4 grandsons! We love being able to spend time with them!ReplyCancel

Hiya Becca :o)

I live in England, so you are right, we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving. But I am so grateful each and every day for what the Lord has blessed my family and I with, and I will continue to be grateful till the day I leave this earth.

By the power of the media these days, I am taken daily to witness just how awful some people’s lives are, and I feel so saddened for the burdens they carry. My mother always told me this saying, and I have realised how true it is over the years “There, but for the grace of God, go you or I”

Bless you as you make our lives so much warmer with your caring thoughts and wonderful inspiration. I guess we can both be grateful for each other, to have the ability to reach out over so many miles and feel like we know you. This is one kind of media that enhances my life!!

Kind regards
HelenReplyCancel

Hi Becca, it is already Friday (black Friday to boot) Luckily I will NOT be out amongst the stampede early this am, I was up doing some reading back to bed for a few more zzzz’s.

If you are out in it, remember you MAY NOT actually be getting great prices. I just read about the myths of Black Friday. they say the better prices are usually back in September and SOMETIMES closer to Christmas.

My youngest daughter is working retail this year for the first time, she had to be in work at 5am, UGH!

Hoping you have a great day!
SusanReplyCancel

Becca, My heart goes out to you and your family. Know that through family, friends and most importantly God you do have an amazing support system! John IS the angel on you shoulder and he will always be with you.

Because I cook Thanksgivivg dinner I get to offer grace and thanks at the table. I offer thanks to God, family for joining us, those who have come and are gone from our lives and all for putting up with me. I always add a special thanks to God – ‘ Dear God, I’ll be even more thankful if no one gets sick from my cooking today or any other day!’ It’s been 28 years now and my cooking is proof that God does listen and for that I will be ever thankful!

Thank you Becca for sharing your creativity!ReplyCancel

My favorite is sharing a huge dinner with family. We ask what they are grateful for. For those that could not make it the i-chat is a wonderful thing. It certainly is a day to count your blessings. Your project is so pretty, Becca, the colors are so warm and inviting. I prayed that you found a little comfort yesterday for Thanksgiving. I know it is hard for you. I lost my son 2 and a half years ago and it does get a little easier,but thank God I have my memories. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-DReplyCancel

Hello Becca,
I am from Germany and live in the UK now, so we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving. My favourite part of the upcoming christmas holidays is our (german) tradition of waiting for “Christkind” (baby Jesus) to come on Christmas Eve. We’d wait outside the living room until we’d hear a little bell ring and then we were allowed in and festive music would start and we’d see the tree for the first time all decorated and twinkling with presents underneath. It’s magical.

Love and hugs, AlexReplyCancel

I live in Europe so we don’t have a Thanksgiving holiday. My favourite holiday time is Christmas , particularly the carol services at church and seeing the faces of the children looking at the crib ! May God continue to guide and comfort you during the holiday period.ReplyCancel

Hope your Thanksgiving was extra blessed for you. You’ve been in my thoughts and prayers! Oh how I would love to win this…I actually just did a search on this about 30 minutes ago…ironic!ReplyCancel

I know everyone says it but I am truly grateful and thankful for my family.

Good luck to everyone!ReplyCancel

Hi Becca
I have been following your blog for a while now. Can I just say what an inspiration you are to me. I love everything you create. You come up with the most amazing projects. As I live in Australia and we don’t have Thanksgiving the most important holiday for me is Christmas time. I absolutely love having my entire family over to my home for Christmas lunch or dinner. I also love to decorate the Xmas tree with my three daughters. It is a very special time for us. I have been thinking of you often and want to say how sorry I am at the passing of your husband, John. My prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.ReplyCancel

I missed coming to your blog yesterday because my husband and I were doing my favorite thing for Thanksgiving, which was visiting with my sister and her family who lives about an hour and a half away from our home. She’s the only one of my family close enough for a day visit and always has visiting children and their families with her for the holidays. I grew up in a large family and a holiday doesn’t seem to be a special day unless it’s filled with loved ones. So I am specially blessed for Vivian and her wonderful family. I’ll express other blessings in the coming days, but will take every opportunty to include you as a great blessing to us all.ReplyCancel

my favorite part of thanksgiving is realizing the blessings Our Lord has graced us with – family, friends, the bounty of the table and all that entails, the richness of my life. much of the time we are too busy to take the time to reflect on these things, so i am grateful for a day to do this.ReplyCancel

Good Morning Becca,

Are you a “Black Friday” shopper? I choose to sit this one out.

I heard on a news cast or a morning show that as we get older we laugh less. This “survey” concluded that by the age of 52 we only laugh a couple times a day versus when we were babies we laughed hundreds. I shared this with my family on Thanksgiving. It turned out to be an interesting conversation. My wonderful husband keeps me laughing all day long. We hope that we don’t turn into grumps like the survey said.

I’m “thankful” to have a loving husband and family to keep me laughing, which lightens the burdens of every day life…ReplyCancel

I am so thankful and happy that I am able to share. DH and I don’t have a lot but we certainly have enough and it’s feels so good to share. It may be insignificant to some but to others it may mean everything!ReplyCancel

Another thing I’m thankful for at Thanksgiving is being able to give special handmade place settings … with their names on and chocolate in them … and a homemade pumpkin roll to each of my family :)ReplyCancel

I am grateful for family – especially this year. My aunt was diagnosed with leukemia a month ago and was hospitalized immediately. She was able to come home Thanksgiving morning to her children preparing a wonderful and delicious Thanksgiving meal for our entire family. It was a day to remember.ReplyCancel

Thanksgiving in Canada was in October. Thankful that we could celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary on Thanksgiving weekend. Hugs, Nellie.ReplyCancel

I am thankful for living in the U.S. and enjoying many freedoms that others around the world do not have. And I so appreciate all the men and women and their families who sacrifice to help keep the U.S. strong and free. I salute them today, especially those who are not home for the holiday season.ReplyCancel

When I finally catch my breath and sit down to this meal I have prepared I am especially thankful just to have the health and ability to do it. I think of all those who are hungry around the world and don’t have a tenth of what is on my table and we offer our thanks and remember those less fortunate.

Good morning this day after Thanksgiving. Thankful for God sending His son to carry the burden of our sins, family and friends, and freedom.ReplyCancel

In the UK, our Harvest Festivals are in October. I live on the outskirts of London, so generally have an urban life. It feels very special to get out into the countryside to the food festivals held at this time of year, to see this earth’s wonderful bounty and take part in the celebrations as a thanks to the farmers. For me it is also a reminder to say thank you for everything which enriches us and our families. Thanks to you Becca, for enriching the lives of so many of us with your creativity.ReplyCancel

Becca,
Is that an album in those glorious orange colors? It is beautiful. Love the look. Take care.

Wow! I love all things Becca!

My favorite part about Thanksgiving is being with family in a warm atmosphere smelling delicious foods! Love and laughter! It is awesome.ReplyCancel

Hello again, Becca.

I’m in the UK, and as you are aware, we don’t celebrate thanksgiving. But it’s so nice to be able to join in and celebrate this time with you lovely people in the US, and wish you all much love, health and happiness.

I really wish that we did celebrate this day, as it would be lovely to have a special time, other than Christmas, to spend with famiy and be able to say, “Thank You” as a family, for the gift of life itself. And for being able to live a life with the everyday things we sometimes take for granted.

I would also like to say… that I am so thankful to have people like you in my, (cyber), life. I spend a lot of time on my own, and not only have you inspired me to create wonderful gifts to make others smile. But your courage throughout the past few years has made me feel that I can also cope with what lies ahead. Thank you! Becca.

I wish you and your family the happiest thanksgiving possible, under your circumstances.

Sending lots of love and warm thoughts.

My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is when I am able to be with family and Thank God for their presence in my life.

Thank you for offering this blog candy.ReplyCancel

I am thankful today that my dd is well enough to go shopping with me. She has some health issues that make getting out and about touch & go at times. We are Black Friday shopping but we’re not early birds. :)ReplyCancel

Becca!!!!
WHAT A WONDERFUL card you have shared with us!!!! NOW, you need to show us HOW you did that!!!! :) I LOVE all the FALL COLORS!!!!

What do I like MOST about Thanksgiving? I LOVE to cook!!! So, I plan, right down to the oven times & length of time to cook, what dishes I’ll serve it all in….I LOVE to make the same Traditional dishes, but I also like to mix it up a bit! I have a few cranberry dishes I can choose from….. AND I like to try NEW side dishes too!!! This year was Spicy Brown Sugar Carrots!!!!! Then I can tell, if it’s good or not while we eat— If it’s quiet….people are busy eating and enjoying! BUT of course, I STILL have to ask!!! LOL :)

GOD IS GOOD!!!!!ReplyCancel

Ahhh…..black Friday. I am very thankful that I was able to resist the tempation. Hubby is in Bagdad and I am a night owl. So instead, I wore myself out by beginning to re-organize my little card making area. Gosh, I found paper I didnt know I had. Of course I was tired by 3am so now I have a mess. Oh well, life is short. I am off to a local stamp store for a free make and take day. Life is better than we think.

Becca, thank you again for the opportunity to be part of your world and also for the blog candy. Hugs and prayers always…ReplyCancel

The best part of thanksgiving is spending time with family that I don’t get to see often.ReplyCancel

Me again,
Well, as I said we don’t have the tanksgiving in my coutry, but I think is nice you have it because after that, we can spend a little buying craft stuff during the black Friday. heheheheReplyCancel

Today I am thankful for the sun shining and no ice storms or snow! :) Just recovering from all the food we had yesterday and catching up on some of my email.

I don’t do the Black Friday thing and I am thankful for that. It is crazy out there shopping for Christmas. I would rather pay a little more than get up at 2am to shop. :)

Have a great day everyone!ReplyCancel

Becca,
My thoughts were with you, & all of my friends who have had a loss recently, on Thanksgiving day. The loos is felt so much on holidays especially. Hugs to you…

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the family get-together and the wonderful foods. We are blessed.ReplyCancel

Hello again,
I am thankful I don’t need anything today and avoid all those black friday shoppers. I’ll just stay close to home and stay nice and cozy, look at all those leftovers and think of a second thanksgiving meal!ReplyCancel

Every day is a day for ‘thanks and giving’.
Blessings to you, Becca.ReplyCancel

Dearest Becca

Thinking of you and your family and lifting you in prayer.

I am in the UK, so Thanksgiving isn’t a celebration here. Today I was helping in the Operation Christmas Child warehouse in our area – and it is kind of a celebration. So many like-minded people with one aim – to take the donated boxes, check them, tape them, sort them, crate them, pallet them, then load them in the articulated lorry which has travelled form Belarus (that’s today’s consignment of nearly 1,000 boxes ‘of love’).

It is very humbling yet so uplifting at the same time. A great experience!

God bless
Hugs

In thanksgiving to you, I just wanted to say though I don’t comment every time I visit here, I am ALWAYS inspired and awed by not only your unbelievable talents with paper and all things crafty, but also by your sweet, kind, loving thoughts and generosity towards many of us whom you’ve never met! God Bless You, Becca!ReplyCancel

Hello Becca, I am sitting here visiting your site and marveling at your sprit and your faith in all things. Visiting your site daily, your 1st on my list of course, and such a wonderful way to begin in blogland.

My favorite part of the Thanksgiving day is the food of course…I am so amazed that my pies came out so wonderful…and greatfull for all that I have in my life. And of course the chance to win you’re candy too. My prayers are with you.ReplyCancel

In addition to yesterday’s comments, for the material part of things, I would have to say the leftovers are one of the best parts.ReplyCancel

Oh My favorite time was when my husband and I were dating and he was building his own home. It was long hours everyday.I came over to help one Thanksgiving.His family out of town decided to spend it with him.When I got there ,I could smell something coming from the oven.I looked inside and there were to Turkey TV dinners sitting side by side in the oven. How special of a Thanksgiving that was.Of course we were married and one of these years I am going back to that day with 2 TV dinners again. I remeber that day every year.

Another favorite – leftovers the next day! No cooking and no cleanup!!!ReplyCancel

hi becca,
my favorite part of thanksgiving is spending time with my good friends and the great food we share.ReplyCancel

My favorite day-after-Thanksgiving thing is all the good food leftover. We just relax and don’t cook!ReplyCancel

A favorite part of Thanksgiving for me is to see people around me thankful for so many things and getting together to share, feast, give thanks. Thanks for the great blog candy offer!ReplyCancel

Isn’t is nice to have a time of year when people say “I have” instead of “I want”. That surrounded by the traditional smells of the dinner cooking means Thanksgiving. I read this week that people who habitually make a gratitude list each day are healthier and happier in the long run. May you feel God’s hand leading you during these days.ReplyCancel

I am so blessed and Thankful for the gifts god has given me, my children , my love for my husband and my gift to share my passion of the arts with others.ReplyCancel

Every time I look at one of your creations the beauty of it takes my breath away. I am thankful for the creative and amazing people like you that have touched my life through the Internet.ReplyCancel

Thanksgiving is wonderful because it presents us with an opportunity to get outside of ourselves and really see what we have to be thankful for. Otherwise, it’s too easy to focus on our troubles and feel like we have nothing to be grateful about.ReplyCancel

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the service in our church the night before Thanksgiving. Our farming community gathers together and we give thanks for our blessings but most of all how God has kept us, comforted, protected, and loved us through the good and hard times, through loss of loved ones, health and illness. Thoughts & prayers for you Becca.ReplyCancel

I’m thankful for relatively good health. I’m thankful also for blog candy, though I’ve never won.ReplyCancel

I am so thankful for my family which includes four of the world’s cutest granchildren ! I love listening to their infectious giggles and how they love to sit on Grampa and Gramma’s laps (even the 14 year old DGD) and read to us, we read to them, or we just listen to them. I love the personalities they all have; budding athlete – however, he’s my most gentle grandchild; gifted academically and vocally DGD; the dreamer who is so bright and in the Ausberger’s Syndrome spectrum; and the youngest, a sensitive clown who adores his oldest cousins. We are grateful for our blessings.

Hugs to you, Becca!ReplyCancel

Another favorite thing about Thanksgiving is that it’s in the fall. I absolutely love everything about fall — the colors, the leaves, the pumpkins, gourds, the mums, the hay. When you’ve lived in a country where you have only two seasons (wet or dry), you really appreciate the seasonal changes we are priviledged to have here. And, I absolutely LOVE the design at the top of yesterday’s post. Once again, thanks for your generosity in offering the blog candy.ReplyCancel

I love Christmas table decorations at Christmas time, especially the beautiful ones my mum makes with holly, small pine cones, gum nuts and kangaroo paw (don’t worry it is a plant – with red velvety flowers), she has real gift in making these sorts of things.ReplyCancel

Delighted to see you creating beautiful paper art again! You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I’m thankful for the ability to visit family and friends this holiday–visit was short, but every moment was a blessing.ReplyCancel

Today I am thankful for being able to help my daughters with their Christmas gifts for their family.ReplyCancel

Oh Becca, I love the buttons on your card what a very clever way to use them. I love your work you are so talented. Take care.ReplyCancel

Thanks for such generous candy, Becca. Hope you are staying strong and things are getting better for you. I loved Christmas mornings when we lived in the UK. Hubby and I would start the Christmas dinner then about 11.30am have a glass of sherry, put on some music and just relax and enjoy being together. I think it was a magical time as it made us think how lucky we are to have what we had. Sometimes we need to take time out and count our blessings xReplyCancel

Sending you hugs this Holiday weekend! You are such an inspiration to many!ReplyCancel

Becca, here in Auss thanksgiving is not celebrated can’t think why as we all have something to be thankful for,

Today is the 5th anniversary of one of my sisters passing away and I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to our creator for allowing me the privilege of having such a beautiful sister, a memory I will always treasure,

Hope your thanksgiving is peaceful one, my thoughts are with you.ReplyCancel

I’m commenting again for the blog candy……but how great the cards are on the 26th post……love the buttons! good jobReplyCancel

Hi Becca! Your Thanksgiving note has to be the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen!! I am most thankful for my family & dear friends, & especially my 16 month old grandson, who live in Las Vegas with his parents & I’m here in OH missing them dearly, but he is the light of my life! Blessings to you & yours!! Deb in OHReplyCancel

Well, the clock has gone beyond midnight so I’ll get in my entry for Saturday. One of the things I so enjoy about the Thanksgiving holiday is the traditional food that is served…some of it seemingly reserved strictly for that Holiday. I mean, when else do you ever see mince pie? Though we serve sweet potatoes routinely throughout the year, that’s the only day in our family that they are cloaked with marshmallows. And the dressing and gravy are now real treats, rarely served otherwise. Have a wonderful weekend.ReplyCancel

I am so thankful for my beautiful family! My miracle daughter and my awesome husband. God is great and I am thankful to be his daughter.ReplyCancel

I’m so very thankful for my family, and thankful that at my age I can still cook the thanksgiving meal for our family get together.
Becca, you have been in my prayers! My Love, NellieReplyCancel

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is that our family gets together. We are spread out across the country so it’s a wonderful time for all of us. Thanks for the chance at such wonderful blog candyReplyCancel

One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is when everyone tells of one very special thing they are grateful for.

I am grateful for the opportunity to win some blog candy.
Thank you Becca.ReplyCancel

Having my boys both around the Thanksgiving dinner table is my favorite part of the holiday. That and watching them eat until they are stuffed.ReplyCancel

I don`t have a particular favourite part of the year, they are all special and all have favourite parts in them. Happy Thanksgiving, my thoughts are with you Becca.ReplyCancel

I love your button gift and card! You have such a wealth of creativity! I marvel! And, only you have the generosity of heart to ADD to blog candy that’s already AMAZING!
Bless you, Becca!
DebraReplyCancel

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is fellowship with family, as they are what I am most thankful for! We eat at my sister’s house and she does not have cable, so no TV, no games except the ones you play yourselves. It’s really lovely! You are in my prayers, God bless.ReplyCancel

You make the most beautiful cards and are so creative. Thanks for all you share. You are in my prayers during this time…God Bless you and your family.ReplyCancel

my favorite part of thanksgiving is AFTER the big meal . . . the tension is gone, the pace slows down and total relaxation is the mood, allowing for true fellowship with those around you, whether family or friends or both!ReplyCancel

Becca,
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I am playing catch up for the past two days on blogs only to find that you have Grand Nesties up for blog candy. Wow that is so very sweet of you. I wish I could have afforded the package deal all at one time and saved, but I am just going to have to spread it out. I did however order the grand calibur. Now I am going to have to get the grand dies 1 at a time. I just love all the wonder possibilities that these larger dies can be used for.
MarcieReplyCancel

I’m thankful for my family and friends. I’m blessed to work with a great group of nurses and staff, every year I coordinate our annual holiday luncheons and it gives most of us time to relax and enjoy each others company for a little while. God bless you Becca!ReplyCancel

Seeing the warmth, love and fun on the faces of my family are so very dear to me, sitting around the Thanksgiving table, being so thankful of being together for another year! Nelda DeakinsReplyCancel

Becca – love your gift of the jar of buttons! I would love having a set of jars just lined up on my desk to look at ;) If you do decide to go shopping – I hope you score some fun deals! (P.S. Joann’s is having some 3-day sales). I am so thankful that I have heat in my home, as it’s been very cold lately and I know there are some people who are not as fortunate.ReplyCancel

Becca…..obvious to see that G-d is with you and holding you tight. Your friends and family sure do love you and you have such a large extended family with all these stampers. There is nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said but know that you are prayed for to the G-d who hears.ReplyCancel

I’m grateful for life itself. My favorite part of Thanksgiving is cleaning up in the kitchen. The conversations out there are priceless! lol! The kitchen back in order and I am happy!! Thanks Becca for this opportunity for blog candy!!ReplyCancel

Thanks for being a part of our day Becca, always look forward to see what you have done next. Another favorite part, Christmas, watching my grandchildren open their gifts.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca, back again.

Another favorite part of Thanksgiving for me is the day after: leftovers to enjoy-so no cooking and I love the peace and quiet.ReplyCancel

My fave part of Thanksgiving is the sense of reflection, connection and togetherness of the Thanksgiving evening meal – experienced when I visited friends in the US and shared the holiday with them.ReplyCancel

I love the Thanksgiving holiday because it is a time to sit down with family and friends, to think back on the year and everything we have to be thankful for. It also marks the beginning of the Christmas season which is my fmost favorite holiday.ReplyCancel

Good Day Becca,

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love getting together with my family and spending the day just visiting. Everyone has their assignments year after year. It works for a nice….relaxing…..calm day.
My family has a problem with the buns though. For some reason they always end up burnt. Well, not this year, my younger sister stood watch over the oven and they ended up perfect. Just like the rest of the meal.
We also started a new tradition, which one of the guys will fall asleep first. My husband always wins. I think my sister will be going out to get a trophy which can be passed back and forth each year.
I really missed my brother and his wife this year. The weather up north wasn’t the best for traveling so they decided to stay home. At least they had her family to share the holiday with.
Family is very important to me, not just on holidays.ReplyCancel

Mywonderful part of Thanksgiving is living here on Cape Cod, pretty close to where it all started!ReplyCancel

Hi Becca
I love the fall and thanksgiving season. It is the best time to give back for all the good things I am fortunate enough to have in my life.
ThanksReplyCancel

Thankful for family and friends–both biological and online!ReplyCancel

Each day I find something new to be thankful for. Today I am thankful for my home and the roof over my head when so many are homeless. I’m thankful that there are companies out there who come and service furnaces when they fail, and I hope they call soon (It is down to 60F in here.)ReplyCancel

Thankful today for all that I have, all that I am able to do, my two beautiful children, my wonderful husband and that we are blessed to have both sets of parents healthy and that my children have grown up with all their grandparents. Thank you.ReplyCancel

I am thankful for family & friends! Both kids were home from college and spent the day with us. I was just recently laid off from my job, it was such a shock, so Christmas this year will be more low keyed. I plan on making alot of the gifts for friends and neighbors. Thanks for the chance of winning.ReplyCancel

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the gathering together of family. The last couple of years though only half of us has been able to gather. It is very difficult when loved ones who have gone before aren’t there, but God’s grace is sufficient! Hugs to you!ReplyCancel

Your work is wonderful and such an inspiration. Hope all is well with you and the family. Think of you often.ReplyCancel

Trying to increase my chances. Have a great Saturday!ReplyCancel

One of the things that I’m thankful for during Thanksgiving (of course family and friends are number 1) is the opportunity to cook more than usual and being abel to eat so many of my favorite foods at one meal. Just to walk into my house with all those wonderful aromas going on all at the same time is so inviting. Now that Thanksgiving (and the dinner) is over, we are enjoying all the leftovers, yum!ReplyCancel

Another favorite part of thanksgiving, of course, is the food.ReplyCancel

I’m thankful for so many, many blessings, family and good friends.ReplyCancel

Another ritual – which is a celebration in our home – was the preparation of the Christingle oranges this morning.

As we cut into the top of each orange, that wonderful citrus smell hit the air and there were spurts of juice.

Christingle is very early this year at our Church, but as we worked, flurries of snow were racing past the corners of the house, mixing with the autumnal leaves. And I’m in the UK!!!!

God bless
Hugs

Just got back to my computer after a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family and my first and only grandchild! And he is so sweet, can’t wait to watch him grow up. I realize more than ever and especially as I have gotten older that it’s the love of family and friends and the presence of a loving God that makes me most thankful. And I am grateful as well that I found your website and that your inspirations greet me most every day!

Warm hugs,

AnnaReplyCancel

I am sure everyone is putting away all of their fall decorations and starting on the Christmas decorating. I love this time of year! Our weather can’t decide if it wants to be winter or fall but Mother Nature knows best what she wants to do. :) I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!ReplyCancel

Becca,

I am amazed at the strength and grace God has provided to you. I am thankful for role models like you.ReplyCancel

I have to tell you Becca,
How Thankful I am. My little Grandson Micky, who moved away in September, Phoned me yesterday and said to me. Nan I miss you and I said to him I miss you more!!!! and I love you more than anything in the world……. Then he replied………………Nan, I love you more then “I Love myself”!!!!. Well I tell you , did I cry Oh my goodness, It brought tears to my eyes, Lol, I bet I cried for 2 hrs. How
I love being Nanny!!!!

Love & Prayers,
Nan aka: Bonnie Jean.ReplyCancel

Another wonderful Christmas event which we used to do in my family was having to guess your gift before you opened it LOL! We got very good at booby trapping them etc. You would get one clue at a time until you guessed. Kids are too young to do this in our family just yet, but can’t wait to do so when they are older.ReplyCancel

I’m thankful that this Thanksgiving my life is finally starting to get back to “normal”ReplyCancel

I love your site and your wonderful projects. I’m thankful for my health this year because I lost my husband 2 years ago to cancer. Thinking about you as you go thru this holiday season. Take Care Becca!ReplyCancel

I have already shared things I am thankful for this year so now I will tell about something kind of silly. We own one very old PC in our house and we all fight over it all the time. Daughter has priority for homework, husband thinks he owns it for work, and now that I started a blog, I would like to use it now and then. Somewhere I found some energy for Black Friday and talked my husband into sitting with me at Staples from 3:30 am until they opened at 6am so that we could get a good deal on a new laptop. Yeah!!! Now I just have to figure out how to set it up. The best is we got one for my daughter for Christmas, too. (Don’t worry, she never reads this). I am thankful for computer peace in my home!!ReplyCancel

Thinking about you and your family at the holiday season. Thanksgiving is not a Danish holiday but I love Xmas and all the things we do as a family around xmas. You might not know this – but we celebrate Xmas on the evening of the 24th. After church the families gather around the table and share the traditional roast duck (but some have goose or turkey) and roast pork with crispy skin, white potatoes, tiny potatoes roasted in butter and sugar, homemade boiled and seasoned red cabbage. Then we light all the candles on the xmas tree – YES you might not believe this but we have genuine tiny candles on the tree and we all dance around the tree singing xmas carols and hymns. In many families each member gets to choose a song starting with the youngest. The last one is always a silly one singing about xmas being here again and holding hands we all run around in the house into every single room and back to the tree again. Then we share parcels and open them. THIS is a traditional Danish Xmas – I thought you might find it interesting.ReplyCancel

I am thankful always for having had my grandmother to raise me. We never had much but I always felt rich.ReplyCancel

I’m thankful today that my dd and I were able to get so much of our Christmas shopping done yesterday. I love it when it’s low-stress! I’m also thankful today that when my dh went up on the roof today he didn’t find any signs of the squirrels returning to our attic (he evicted them a couple weeks ago). Yay!!ReplyCancel

Back on Saturday. I’m also very thankful for my kids. Sometimes if it wasn’t for them, who knows where I would be. They have sure kept me on my toes these past 18yrs. My husband is retired Navy, so he was gone alot, and the kids sure kept me from being soooo very lonely all those years. All of your wonderful creations have inspired me to dig out my dies and stamps and give some of your techniques a try. Thanks so much for sharing all your creativeness with all of us out here in the internet world.ReplyCancel

Wow, Becca, you are BACK! Beautiful new projects- keeping busy is one way to deal with such a great loss. My Dad just passed away and I am trying to spend time each day creating, as it does take my mind off other things once the mojo starts flying. My heart is with you…ReplyCancel

We play an obscure board game we have called “The Harvest Game” where you have to get your crops “in” before winter comes. We also sing “Over the ‘River and through the Woods” in the car…on the way to Grandmother’s house, of course!

Happy Saturday Becca!

today the sun is shining and it seems to be rather mild out. yesterday was cold and over cast, and in some areas around me, there were snow flurries.

I am thankful, it wasn’t too cold here (yet) as we do not have the wood stove on yet. in the evenings we need a sweater and a lap blanket to watch tv, and the kitties stay close. We try very hard each year to not have to put on the electric heat in the NEWer part of the house, and light the wood stove in the OLDer part of the house til it is absolutely necessary. Being Green! I mean we could light the stove, but trees (wood) is a resource also.

I am thankful my hubby (now 69) is still able to work with the firewood and the stove, especially with me being disabled and having a lifting restriction, I used to work side by side with him on the firewood (even when we ran a tree service and also sold fire wood). Now I can carry a few pieces of wood into the house at a time to put in the wood box. Sometimes I’ll just run the lever on the log splitter. but not often as usually the logs that have to be put on there are too big for me.

I am thankful my son has moved home (eventhough he is lazy about picking up after himself and a pain in the butt) he DOES help his Dad.

I am not so thankful that my youngest daughter has moved out (also a pain in the butt) but she would at least spend some time with me, and talk with me, being so isolated that is important.

My oldest daughter decided at the age of 28 to see a specialist about her eye (lazy…and had surgery at 2.5 years and 7 years old…but that doc over compensated and the eye has been out ever since) the operation was a little over a week ago, and her dad says she is doing ok, and the eye looks better. I am VERY thankful for that. (I won’t talk about her estrangement from this family)

Ron had his other cataract removed this past Tuesday and he is already seeing improvement in his vision. AMEN!! He has Diabetic Retinopathy as well, and recently had a detached Retina. Obviously, I am EXTREMELY thankful for this!! ( we were very afraid that he would have his Driver’s lic. pulled the Dr. said he was right on the verge.)

Talked enough today.LOL

HOPE you are having a GOOD day :)
Hugs,
SusanReplyCancel

I want another chance to win this blog candy. This is a great prize.ReplyCancel

Oops… I’m so sad that I forgot to leave a comment yesterday! Just got too busy. But, back today and thinking of what I like about Thanksgiving… it’s so sad that our lives get so busy each day that some have to have a holiday to remind them to be thankful. I was raised in a religious family… my dad was a minister and I am so thankful that I was raised to be always thankful for the people and things around me. Number one on that list these days is my husband. I haven’t had the “typical” life… I had not been fortunate enough to find “Mr. Right” when I was in my twenties… so I don’t have a very long marriage to celebrate at this point. But, I am so thankful that God decided to bring a wonderful man into my life at least for this later stage and I treasure each and every day that we can spend together. It has only been a little over 5 years so far and I will be thankful for whatever time God decides to give us.ReplyCancel

my favorite part of thanksgiving is the family gathering together for a day of fun. it’s always great to see everyone.ReplyCancel

I love to spend thanksgiving with family and great food. Thanks for a chance to win. I like your blog.ReplyCancel

Oh my, what a lovely blog candy! I certainly do enjoy your blog and look forward to seeing what will be your next inspiring creation! Thanks so much for sharing.ReplyCancel

Today I am thankful for all my blog friends like you that post their work and give my inspiration to create.ReplyCancel

I’m grateful for you and your creativity! You continue to amaze me with your endless new designs.

Blessings on you as you and your family grieve John’s death.
Mary JaneReplyCancel

My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is the leftovers! It tastes so much better the second day! Plus I don’t have to cook!!ReplyCancel

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time for me. Even though this year alone, we lost a great friend who was also our spiritual leader for many years, had a child who went through a horrible divorce and found out that my dh has MM we still feel blessed that we had our friend for 50+ years, our dd is safe and near us again so we can help her and the children and we have great doctors to help us through our path with cancer and most importantly, we have our Lord with us through all we go through daily.ReplyCancel

Another favorite part of Thanksgiving is the food!! Everyone brings a dish so that the cook (me!) doesn’t have such a heavy load. What a blessing that is and what amazing, wonderful dishes they bring!

Praying for you!ReplyCancel

Pumpkin pie! (second comment) :-)ReplyCancel

thanks Becca – hope you had a Thanksgiving surrounded by family and love – I know I did – Love it!
SandraReplyCancel

I am really thankful that I have good feet. My husband & I went out to do a little christmas shopping & stay out for 5 hours but almost finished our christmas shopping.
Becca I love your 2 chruistmas cards.ReplyCancel

Great blog candy! Becca, I am so thankful I found your blog and have read it almost every day since. Your work is so beautiful and inspirational to a novice like me. I think of you often and pray you are doing ok and feeling the love of God embrace you and the prayers of your many friends and followers. I lost my Dad in September and am dealing with serious health problems our daughter has had for the last 2 years. Your blog has helped me many times when I am low. Thankful for sharing a bit of yourself with us.
BonnieReplyCancel

I am so thankful that someone shared the love of Jesus w/ me – so I could experience the joy of knowing Him personally. I’m thankful that He loves me and that He never leaves me, nor forsakes me; that He’s w/ me in the valleys and on the mountain tops. I’m thankful for family and friends, and for health. And, I’m thankful that I ran across your blog, as I’ve enjoyed your testimony and your talent.ReplyCancel

After dinner on Thanksgiving, we would all see who could hang a spoon from their nose the longest! Very fun and entertaining, and then, if that got boring, everyone would try to make music on the rim of their glasses. Always a fun entertaining, family time.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca,

I am in awe of your creative genius. I wish I could be as good as you in the card making department.

You are truly blessed to have such a creative ability. I know that you are going through a difficult time, but with your family, friends and your faith, it will help you. Not only that, but your blog friends will be there for you, too (me included).

Thanks for sharing your gifts with us! I really enjoy visiting your blog to see what you have cooked up for us to drool over.ReplyCancel

I am really thankful that I am still functioning even though my body is not as I live with horrible pain and struggle to walk each and every day. But I do know that God continues to give me another day of guidance and help me to find a solution to ease my pain and help my walking.ReplyCancel

Becca, you are a fine example of living your faith. I too try to give thanks in all things. I so appreciate that I am able to be surrounded by people who are full of joy and gratefulness for we are truly blessed in this country. “.ReplyCancel

Becca, I am thankful for my wonderful husband who hates my crafting/card making but puts up with it anyway!!!ReplyCancel

I am so thankful for my friends, at home, those who I have known through the years and on line. You have been an inspiration to me in so many ways. Thanks for doing all your creating and posting them on your blog.ReplyCancel

I just found about your website. It is great!ReplyCancel

Dear Becca,

Today I am thankful for getting up early to go to walmarts to get a Wii for my grandaughter (I have custody of)! She has been wanting one for years. Well, Walmarts had it for 199.00 and with a meijer’s ad for 149.00, I was able to get the system and an extra game for her! WOW! I think I am more excited for christmas to come so I can see her face when she opens all her presents. She isn’t expecting much, but this year, I am aiming to getting all 6 things on her list.

NanetteReplyCancel

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is seeing family that I haven’t seen for a while.ReplyCancel

I am Thankful that we were able to spend the last 43 days with my brother helping him after the passing of his wife 49 and now sitting here in my big bed after just walking in the door for a long sleep afther a stright 17 hour drive and God blessed us with a safe trip home. The true meaning of Thanksgiving and the Holidays “being with Family even when it’s not for just the fun times” LizReplyCancel

Happy Saturday Becca, There are many things I am thankful for but I guess if I had to pick something it would be my husband and family. I don’t have any children of my own but my husband has enough for all and there is never a dull moment because of them. I am also very greatful for my cyber friends that share all their beautiful work with us. Thank youReplyCancel

Today I am thankful for the men and women who where not able to spend Thanksgiving with their families because they are serving our country. Bless themReplyCancel

I’m also thankful for family, friends near & far, and pets, here with me now! I’m thankful for daily provisions, like a roof and heat here where it is snowy & in the 20’s. I’m thankful for electricity and the internet to connect with people like you Becca! Thanks for the inspiration!!ReplyCancel

Thanksgiving is everyday for me.Today i am thankful for sharing time with long-time friends who i seldom get to see.

Have a blessed day, Becca.ReplyCancel

Wow, almost 600 comments on this post already! You have such great eye candy as well as blog candy. I am addicted to your blog and read it every day. Thanks for the inspiration.ReplyCancel

Oh my, I’d love these. I am blessed to have the Grand Caliber Die Cutter and love it…

Thanksgiving today is much different that when I was a child. It’s with my second husband and my son drove up to be with us. So much fun this year…but I miss my other kids and Ken’s kids too.

Blessings to you Becca! Love your artistic ability…and I try to case a lot.ReplyCancel

Another beautiful day to be thankful for after a trip to the Grand Canyon on the train today. God has created so much beauty. You also are an awesome creation, and you create beauty every day. I am thankful for you!ReplyCancel

Hi Becca,

My favourite thing about Thanksgiving is the time shared with family and friends. One of the nicest gatherings was the year we went to my sister’s cottage on the water. It was a beautiful day outside so we decided to go for a walk down this path that led us to some old apple trees. The kids climbed up to find the nicest apples that would later be made into homemade applesauce. It was such a casual, fun and different Thanksgiving for all of us.

Hope your Thanksgiving weekend was filled with love and laughter.

Blessings to you and all your family,

CathieReplyCancel

Other favorite things about holidays (any holiday) are family, friends, and of course, food.

Thanks Becca, for a chance to win!ReplyCancel

Darn, I missed commenting on Saturday by just a bit. Maybe if I explain and win (here’s hoping) I’ll still get the bonus prize. We just finished celebrating our anniversary! I didn’t sleep well so got up really, really late, had a nice long bath and got ready, did my hair and really nice makeup. Then we went to Toronto for a classy, authentic, fine-dining Mexican dinner (scrumptious) then off to a movie. It was so quiet and not a single phone call, kid fight/complaint or computer/pager. Heavenly. Nuts, I just realized that maybe I shouldn’t leave this comment as you just lost your love but thinking about it I am deciding to leave it. You are a generous soul who wouldn’t begrudge the happiness of others. And this is the season for being thankful for the blessings we’ve received.

Best wishes, RebeccaReplyCancel

Each day I find something to be thankful for- each day I am thankful for the life I have and the roof over my head. I have taken alot of things for granted over the years and it really wasn’t until I lost my father 20+ years ago and again when I lost my mother 4 years ago that I realized how much my parents had given me through their life and had helped me when times where tough – I now try to do the same for my childrenReplyCancel

My favorite thing about the holidays is getting together with family and friends and just relaxing. Thanks for another opportunity to win this amazing blog candy.ReplyCancel

Becca, I guess that here in the UK, Christmas is the biggest celebration.

Now that the children are grown, I love having them with us at Midnight Communion on Christmas Eve, surrounded by our Church family, listening to those wonderful readings and singing those memorable carols. Silent Night, Holy Night, has a special place in my heart as it reminds me of the years when our much larger family, gathered and sang together in an awed and darkened Church.

Thanks for the opportunity to recall such wonderful memories. You truly are an ‘amazing’ lady who ‘graces’ us so often with exquisite creations.

Love and hugs
Anne (UK) xReplyCancel

Wow Becca, I would LOVE to be the lucky winner of these.
It’s so wonderful to have you back being creative and sharing your inspiration with all of us.ReplyCancel

Talented and generous. Wow… I also think that you are Santa Clause giving away the Grand Caliber Die. Please put my name in the drawing.

Uh oh! Did I leave a note yesterday? Well maybe, maybe not. It’s been fun following you. Love what you did today on your blog. Awesome job! Thanks so much for keeping on, We love you!ReplyCancel

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is my family. we are a 5 living generation family. On Thanksgiving as well as a few other times of the year we show off our cooking skills, who makes the best Mac and cheese, sweet potato pies and believe the men in our family can cook better then some of the women. :)

Blessings and hugs :)ReplyCancel

Love your autumn card, beautiful as always. I have so much to be thankful for and everyday I add something to my list. I feel very blessed !ReplyCancel

Since I’ve tried to post every day I thought I might run out of things to be thankful for and this morning I realized that I can never run out of things to be thankful for. God has been so good to me. So today I received a message from a crafting friend who had been in the hospital for a few days. And I thought to myself, “I am so grateful for my relative good health.” I’ve had my ups and downs but for the most part my health has been pretty solid. The older we get you can never be sure what the next day will bring. But the Lord has been so good to me in the health department! Thank you Becca for being such an inspiration to me!ReplyCancel

Another fav part of this holiday is the smells… all the baking and cooking… sometimes while you’re inside cooking, you have to step out and back in just to get the full effect of the aroma. And everywhere you shop, there are cinnamon pinecones…mmmm, love that smell…!
Thanks for yet another day to win your bag of goodies!! ‘morning hugs to you…!ReplyCancel

Back on Sunday. Again Your cards are an inspiration to all. I love all your creative ideas you come up with. Another thing I’m thankful for this year is having great friends. I have made so many new friends since I started scrapbooking and cardmaking 2-3 yrs ago. It is so great to meet so many others that have a love of the craft that I do. I like all the inspiration I get from others.
Hope you are having a great weekend….. It is getting colder here in Southern PA……ReplyCancel

I am so thankful for my family, friends, my faith. I love Thanksgiving and cooking for my family. Continuing to keep you and your family in my prayers.ReplyCancel

My thoughts have been with you every day.
I am in awe of all the beautiful things that you do.
I wish I had half of your talent.

I love having all my family together at Thanksgiving and just eating and sitting around talking about life.
Good luck to you always.ReplyCancel

Thankful for a beautiful kind of cloudy day here. I am in sunny Arizona, so we all like our cloudy days…ReplyCancel

This year one of my favorite things about thanksgiving is that I got to hold my newest grandniece, who is such a precious sweetie.ReplyCancel

I am most thankful for my family – my husband, our children & their spouses & the precious ‘little people’ they’ve blessed us with.
Thank you for the chance to win these because I’ve had my eye on the grand circles since they came out & I’d love to have them.ReplyCancel

The more I see all your cards using the grand nestabilities the more I know I have to have them! I think I am getting a Grand Calibur for Christmas! If I don’t I will buy my own Christmas present.ReplyCancel

Today I will be attending my church services and am so grateful that I am still able to do so. At 72 (73 on New Year’s Eve) I thank my Heavenly Father for every day that I wake up and my body is still functioning so well. I am grateful for the snowfall we are expecting today. I am grateful to know that we are expecting our 26th grandchild in May, as well as two more great-grandchildren in Dec and Feb. It is great to be alive and able to enjoy creating beautiful cards. I am grateful for all the gorgeous examples that you and other bloggers offer for my enjoyment.ReplyCancel

Getting together with family and friends is also a great part of Thanksgiving. I have to say I like the answer of the woman who asked her husband and his answer is when everyone goes home.ReplyCancel

Dear Becca, another beautiful idea. Thank you so much for all the inspiration you give us. God grant you and your family peace.ReplyCancel

One of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving is that it focuses on an “attitude of gratitude”, something we should all should employ each day, but Thanksgiving really is a day to focus on all for which we are thankful.

Thankful that my husband, 2 granddaughters and I survived a bad car accident last Sunday! I have 5 broken ribs and a few bumps and bruises. My husband has 2 sore and badly bruised legs, one granddaughter (6) escaped with only a slight concussion and the other granddaughter (11) took the worst hit with a dislocated left wrist and a jaw broken in 2 places with one tooth missing. We rolled once over rail road tracks and ended up about 10 yards from water! The car is totaled, and Liz has a jaw wired shut (4 wks) and a cast (6 weeks), but will return to school on Wed. The rest of us will heal in time. Thank you Lord, we had much to be Thankful for this past Thursday!ReplyCancel

Besides the family and food at Thanksgiving, I am thankful for the season! In Canada we celebrate Thanksgiving and it is in October when it’s fall, and cooler temperatures and falling leaves. My favorite time of year!ReplyCancel
