November is my most favorite time of the year.  Time to reflect on all of our blessings.  Through sharing my love for scrapbooking, stamping and life itself, I have found my calling.  I have a job I love and the freedom to be a hands on Mom.  I am here when my husband needs me and we all get to gather around the dinner table every night.

I have gained another family too.  I  always wanted a sister, and now I have MANY, even long distance ones.  Through team building I have connected with the greatest group of women.  They are all so thoughtful and caring.  The funny thing is they always show up at just the right time with coffee, lunch, a hug or a much needed phone call. I am so blessed!

So, I thank God and I thank you, my sisters in crafting! I don’t even want to think about what my life would be without you all!

Which leads me to the perfect gift for friend.  I used my favorite November Stamp of the Month. Although this set is perfect for this Thanksgiving season, it also looks great with other color combos for the every day. I chose cotton candy, black and sweet leaf. I made a sweet little purse, that I found on the Paper Crafts website and embossed it with the Cuttlebug.  What better to fill it with than little 3×3 cards which can also double as gift tags.  I love the rounded corners on the cards as it adds a little softness.
