Thankful Blog Hop...



Good Sunday morning all!  I hope you have been enjoying your weekend so far.  Today I am going to attempt to Christmas decorate the outside of our house.  The cold weather has calmed down just a bit (-17C, 1F) so I think I should be okay, though I may have to take a few warm coffee breaks :)

Today I am joining my first Clear Dollar Stamps Monthly Blog Hop.  You should have arrived from Lisa's wonderful blog.  If not, please start from the top at Lori's fab blog.  One lucky winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to spend at Clear Dollar Stamps on digital images!!!

November's Blog Hop theme is Thankful.  I am thankful for many things, most of all my husband.  He is my best friend and I couldn't imagine life without him.

  Winner will be randomly chosen from comments received on a DT member's blog. The winner will be announced on the CDS blog Wednesday, November 23rd as well as here on my blog.

I used pre-colored as well as the outline version (for paper piecing) of Spring Hydrangea:

Card Ingredients:  Clear Dollar Stamps Digi;  Recollections paper;  Bazzill and Recollections cardstock;  Circle Nesties;  Stampendous! stamp;  CraftSmart Black ink;  Doodlebug Designs button;  We R Memory Keepers Lollipop baker's twine; Recollections pearls.  Tools:  sewing machine.

Next is Cassie's blog!

I must give credit to Peachy Keen Stamps Sketch (though I am not entering my card into any challenges) for their very inspiring sketch.

Have a wonderful weekend and I will see you all again tomorrow.
