In our family we hand out our Christmas wish list at Thanksgiving

This year I put a Papertrey Ink gift certificate on the top of mine and

that's exactly what I got. When I placed my order

I got this and another "Thank you" stamp as a gift from the company

I just love it. I inked it with Burnt Umber and stamped on vintage cream

and punched it out with a spellbinder die with some foam tape I attached it to a piece

of dark chocolate embossed with floral fantasy

a piece of dark chocolate Swiss dot satin ribbon 5/8"

all on an a2 base of PTI kraft card stock edges inked with burnt umber

Thankful Thursday at

DL Art

Take a picture of something (not someone) you are thankful for

My mom is a quilter and this is just one of the may quilts she has made
for me over the years I am so thankful for them. She lives in Florida now.
Every night when I crawl into bed her quilts hug me and keep me warm makes
me feel she is right them with me. I treasure them and know they are her legacy for me
to pass done to my girls and some day my grandchildren.

Hope everyone has a wonderful evening.

Karen
