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

Paint the insde of box and lid with prior
to applying patterened paper
Trace patterned paper on the bottom

Cut a stip of paper and fold in
half to adhere to thankful sign

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.

Look at the person next to you
Live – Love – Laugh
