Hello Everyone! If you just left Iva's blog then you are in the right spot. This blog hop has become more special to me as the days progressed. I always suggest to my fellow crafters to slow down and enjoy life. I tell no lie - I run like a chicken without a head most of the time. I really had to reflect about all the things to be thankful for.
So I decided to make a thankful box
for my family and friends for
Thanksgiving Holiday
INGREDIENTS

All Purpose Glue
Foam Brush
Metalic Paint (gold)
Gold Glitter
Ribbon

Paint the insde of box and lid with prior
to applying patterened paper
Trace patterned paper on the bottom
and around sides and cut one long strip

Purpored glitter in bowl and dipped top of box
Cut a stip of paper and fold in
half to adhere to thankful sign
(Not shown)- hot gue sign on top of lid and
apply all purpose glue on top of black flap
and add glitter. Let dry.
I typed and printed out listing with meaning of each word.
Cartridge: Plaintiain for Leaf W 2.605 - H.478
Will download if it's is requested.
Added monograph clear stamps to give demention
used color box green
Inkadinkado Clear Stamps
Thankful…
Home – to lay your head and rest

Breath - to live
Mind – think and remember
Heart – to beat and love

Ears – to listen
Mouth – to talk and sing
Hands – to touch and feel
Arms – to hold and embrace
Legs – to walk and run
Feet – to step or leap forward
Look at the person next to you
Live – Love – Laugh
We are not promised tomorrow!
Happy Thanksgiving
2010
