Giving Thanks Blog Hop

Good afternoon all.

A lovely afternoon was had yesterday at the spa....wonderful back, shoulder and neck massage and a lovely healthy lunch to follow....well maybe not the bottle of wine we consumed! Also managed to wriggle out of Jury Service until the end of March because of my holidays...although quite why I was selected in the first place when they knew I was going away is anybodies business.

Time for a blog hop...over at STAMPlorations we're "Giving Thanks" today and in light of recent world events I think we can all find something in our lives to be thankful for.


Hoppers must comment on all participating blogs to be eligible to win, commenting ends on Friday, November 27th, 11:55pm Pacific time.

Prize: one 4 x 6 stamp set (winner's choice)

Here is my card:


Background was made on my little gelli plate using ARTplorations Foiled Again and Leaf Bliss stencils, die from Spellbinders. I used copper sparkle medium to stencil the Bloom Silhouettes stencil and added a sentiment from STAMPlorations Holiday Expressions: Thankful for Autumn set. Tag from LOTV, ribbon from my stash.

Challenges entered:
Simon Says Stamp - thankful
Dies R Us - thankful
The Crazy Challenge - everything goes
OSAAT - thanks
Fussy and Fancy - thankful
