Thanksgiving Banner

Again, a little late but here's the Thanksgiving banner I made, it's actually currently still on the wall. :p

Here's the banner in its entirety:

A bit close on the letters:

For this banner I used the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge for the turkeys and leafs, and used the Cricut Alphabet for the letters. It's hung up by twine and I attached the leafs using clothes line clips. I Mod Podged paper onto the clips to make them cute then hot glued the buttons on after tying raffia on the buttons.

Here's one of the turkeys:

A close up of the buttons on the turkey:

The eyes are buttons with black bling jewels glued on top.

It was fun making something a little different and nice to finally have some Thanksgiving decorations!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, since it's Thanksgiving I guess I should give my thanks. So here's it is, what I'm thankful for in no particular order:

• For my wonderful, understanding, loving husband Bryan that I couldn't see myself without. I love him so much and I am so very lucky to be able to share the rest of my life with him.
  
  
• For my family that I'm so lucky to have and am so lucky that they live so near to me and I can be as close as I am with them.
  
  
• For my doggies Tibor & Buffy that couldn't live without me and I'm pretty sure I couldn't live without them.
  
  
• For my job, I know I complain about it sometimes but I'm lucky to have it and am grateful for all the nice people I work with.
  
  
• That I finally have a college degree, not everyone can say they have one. Go me!
  
  
• For my health, I know I need to lose a few 50 lbs. or so but it could be a lot worse.
  
  
• For my new home that I love and feel so safe and happy in, I'm excited to build my new life here with my husband and our doggie babies.
  
  
• For my friends that I've had since my teen years and earlier. I love them all dearly and they are indeed the family that I have chosen.
  

I'm pretty sure I've left a bunch out but that's a good start. So if I'm ever feeling down just remind me to look here and see how wonderful my life really is.

Happy Thanksgiving all! I hope you all had a great holiday!
