Happy Thanksgiving

I hope you all had a wonderful day filled with the Love and Joy of family and good friends.
Today ...of all days...is a day to count the blessings in your life. A day to reach out and embrace those dear to you and to take a moment to help those you don't even know. It is a time for giving...in many ways... the food banks are all active and many of the charities kick up at this time of year and you see the Salvation Army volunteers ringing their bells ,urging you to deposit that change into the red cauldron instead of your pocket. But giving doesn't always have to mean something tangible...take a moment to offer a smile to someone or hold the door for the next person. Yes even just the smallest act of giving is all it takes to make someone's day a little brighter. And any act of giving just feels good deep in your heart...Such a simple gesture may be all that is necessary to turn this world around.

And speaking of giving...you all know how we love to give stuff away...This Sunday Carol will be drawing names from the comments on her new Craft Room. There have already been lots of comments and there is still time to get in on the goodies.
There will be 4 chances to win. The prizes are a set of the new Tim Holtz Seasonal Distress Stains.
One name for each Seasonal Set, Spring,Summer, Fall and Winter. Each set consists of the three seasonal colors. So go take a peek at Carol's beautiful new custom built (by her wonderful hubby Dan) Craft Room and leave a comment. Post is dated Nov. 13th. You will have until 12 noon Pacific time to leave your comments. Carol will enter your name in the bucket and she will be drawing the names on Sunday evening. The winners will be posted Monday morning with instructions to claim your treasure!
So make sure to leave your comments!

I have one last thing before I drop into my bed! I thought you all might enjoy a little giggle. Kathryn sent this to me a while back and I darn near wet my pants laughing. Click on the link to this short little clip ...and smile!    http://cheezburger.com/41436417

Luv & Hugs,
Barrie & Carol
