So Grateful

I'm so grateful ....

 ... to Susan (& Ardyth, Karen, Heather and 
     Cheryl) for their OLW Challenges (this week 
     is Gratitude and 2013 Thanksgiving Crusade 
     Kick Off)
... for all the marvelous CAS talent online that 
     inspires me
... for my mother's impromptu visit
... for the sunshine this Sunday 
... for the most delicious Sushi
... for discovering "Divine" Lychee wine made 
     right here in Mauritius - so light and fruity
... to receive FOUR parcels full of craft supplies this week (my second order of Annabelle Stamps, my first new Papertrey Ink stamps, EK Success circle punches and a set of Inktense pencils!)


Orange is so NOT my colour. I find it difficult even buying ink or paper in orange. But it is in the inspiration at Annabelle Stamps this week.


But I know just the friend I'll be giving this to ... orange is her colour, and she deserves the first card of my 2013 Thanksgiving Crusade. I just had to break open one of my new Annabelle stamp sets and play a little.

    Janet, I LOVE this layout!!!! So fun and happy, and those flowers are adorable! And thank you so much for such a lovely post to help kick off the newly renamed Thanksgiving Crusade.

    And I notice you say you finally broke down and ordered from Papertrey. Hmmm. You held out a LONG time, but maybe living on Mauritius made that easier than it was for me, LOL!

    Off to check out the Annabelle stamps...

    This is a lovely, colourful sunshiny card which makes me want to check out that stamp set...also its a nice idea to list what you have to be thankful for...sadly it can be rather easy for the lovely good bits to be subsumed into the general clamour of our lives.
