Today I wanted to share with you projects I  made for Thanksgiving this year.

This year I want to really focus on being grateful for what we have. My family has had 

to long year of ups and downs. This year I'm Thankful our nephew survived a major illness,

my brother in law and his family have been close to us thru Skype and made a few trips from

Korea. My husband connected with a son who he never met and my kids have a new big half brother.

I hope you have a blessing to be thankful for this year as it has gone by so fast.....

I used Fancy Frames , Word Collage,  Autmn Celebrations and Buccaneer  

I cut the Frame Base 5 1/2" out of thin chip board and card stock.  I then used CCR to use Word Collage and Buccaneer to color the words at 5 and 4 1/2 " in red , orange and yellow. I stoped the imagine after the prining before cutting.  I had 

a hard time cutting this image that when I came up with using CCR and the imagine.

I the cut the Arcorn from Autumn Celebrations at 3 1/2 " 

add the buttons and twine to hang.

Next I used Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art to make this Banner.

 I used my Gyspy to weld the image together. It was in a group of  3 leaves @ 4"

 I love this font ( same cartridge) .... I placed the 1" Letters inside the image  using the Gyspy.
the cut on a  12 x 24 " mat and paper  is from Provo Craft

 My last project for Today is my Turkey from Enjoy the Seasons . I used the Imagine and printed and cut at 3 1/2 " and the cut layers to pop dot and added an eye. These are doing to be wraped around the silverware.  I still have to name the turkeys .....

My Cricut Craft Room.... Festive Friday !!!

This Year I wanted to make something with my kids to give to their teacher for Thanksgiving break...

I'm calling these Grateful Boxes we are putting in a note to the teacher and a yummy surprize !!

 I made the box from Sweet Tooth Boxs  fit to Page on a 12x12 mat.  Paper is from DCWV Autumn Splendor ( Joanns) The "L" is cut from Speaking of Fall Cartridge at 2" 4 times 4 colors , Hat was cut from Autumn Celebrations 2"

My goal is to teach my kids what the meaning of Thanksgiving is not just 5 days off of school !!!
We have had a tough year with in my family but we still are very grateful for what we have. I'm making it a point this year to not let Thanksgiving Pass this year as a day in November and then comes christmas....

Please come back this weekend to the 100 Cartridge Blog Hop I will be posting more Thanksgiving ...

Thanks for checking in on my Blog ....
