Hey stampers! Here in the US we are all busy getting ready for Thanksgiving. For me, this year getting ready means ordering our dinner from a wonderful local restaurant!
Stamp Slave Dave is usually the chef, but he's been having some back problems lately so I didn't want him standing all day cooking and then being wiped out when we're ready to give thanks and eat! Since our daughter and son in law are returning from their honeymoon ON Thanksgiving Day, we're having the family celebration on Friday so ordering seemed to fit the bill…much easier cleanup don't you think?! That way all of us can just relax and watch the Dallas Cowboys win another game…woo hoo! (I grew up in California but the ‘Boys have always been my team so I love that they always play on Thanksgiving Day.
One other thing I always do over the Thanksgiving weekend is start working on my Christmas cards. I know a lot of you probably do the same thing. If you haven't even given cards a thought yet this year, here is an easy card using the Wrapped in Warmth stamp set that would be quick to put together, yet not use a ton of supplies.
After all, the holiday season should not be full of stress; there is so much for which to be thankful and so many blessings that can easily be missed in the hustle and bustle.
Also, notice the cute little heart in the center of this card? It comes from our Brights Collection of enamel shapes AND is part of a bundle on sale today only! If you missed yesterday's post click here and you can check out all the details of the Online Extravaganza!
