Happy Thanksgiving Cards

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I hope you enjoy your time with family and friends.

If you eat too much, that is ok. 

Just add it to your list of things to be thankful for.

I had found some funny photos to share, but since I haven't shared my turkey cards, we will take a look at those instead!

The paper is from the stash.

The big turkey is a Stampabilities  stamp (from Hobby Lobby)

...as is the solid turkey stamp.

The turkey stamp on the upper left card is from Lawn Fawn.

The Happy Thanksgiving sentiment is Stampabilities.

The 'give thanks' seen with the turkey on the upper right is from Studio G.

I thought I would try using one of my embossing folders.

You know, the tool I have that I am not really sure what to do with...

After I embossed the paper, I used some ink to draw out the detail.

I gave it a "mat" and some ribbon and wah-lah!

I think it turned out pretty cool!

I finally tried making a step card.

I am going to make some more and will make a tutorial when I do.

I wasn't completely thrilled with the tutorial I found, so I have to make it better if I am going to share with you!!! I LOVE the way it looks.

I think this is my favorite card of the bunch.

Speaking of bunch, no wait that is brunch...I need to walk away from the computer and get started in the kitchen. Brunch here and dinner elsewhere later!

Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for your blog friendship!!

Hugs

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! We have been busy decorating for Christmas. There are some fun blog times ahead.  Those times will have to wait though. We are going to enjoy each other and our family this evening. There may be some grey days, but we truly do have plenty to be thankful for *including you, our readers!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

Here a turkey, there a turkey!

I told you yesterday that the turkeys made their way out of the tote! What is bothering me is I swear I/we picked up a turkey or two at yard sales this summer, but I only found one. Could I have possibly picked them up and set them back down? It would seem so or I will find them in another month. (wait until you see all the yard sale/estate sale treasures that are waiting to be loved again) Alright, before I am tempted to go get those items out and take pictures and become COMPLETELY distracted...back to Thanksgiving!

What do you think about the turkey? He is one of those plastic cake toppers. You know, the ones that get pressed into the icing (hmmm....yum). Picked him up at a yard sale for a dime. I wasn't sure what I would do with him then but when I took him out of the China cabinet this is where he ended up. What? Where do you put your out of season yard sale/estate sale/flea market finds? :)

I needed the crock that was in the center so that meant something to had to fill in that hole. That move created another hole. Am I the only one that moves half the house around? I'm pretty sure I'm not. I've read some of your posts. :)

Not only do I move half the house around, I have a tendency to move things around multiple times. Look at what is on the table now. I think it is an illness, but I guess it could be worse.

With the crock on the table, the basket needed a new home!

But....to put the basket there....yep I had to move some stuff...perhaps I could market an exercise program doing this... This is what was on the victrola before the basket landed there...

And the lamp ended up here!

Here is one shot of the mantel.  Only a couple small changes were made.

For the posts on the first round of fall decorating see here and here. We skipped Halloween decorating this year. I am sure we will make up for that next year. Last year's Halloween can be seen here and here.
