I can not wait until Thanksgiving! It is my favorite holiday. I like the holiday season, but always seem so rushed I can hardly enjoy it. I love the fact that there is a holiday set aside just for being thankful. I have so many blessings in my life it would be hard to not be thankful for all I have.
Our Thanksgiving starts at a race near my house. It is a four mile race that benefits the local food bank. Every runner has to bring food to donate to the food bank. I run while my husband (and this year my daughter Frances) cheer on all the runners. Afterward we eat cookies and drink hot chocolate. Then we are off to my sister's house for a traditional turkey dinner. It doesn't seem like much, but it is my favorite day of the year. It reminds me how lucky I am to have my health, a house to live in, food on my table and my wonderful family. Really what else could I ask for?
The thanksgiving holiday inspired me to make this gift card holder. I am going to give it my sister on Thanksgiving. Every year she makes the dinner and tells us all to bring nothing. She has been out of work for a while now, but this year is no exception. She still said not to bring anything. I am going to put a gift card to a local grocery store inside to thank her for being a great host.
I used products from the featured manufacturer Pink Paislee to make this card. I love the fetching line. The colors are perfect for fall. All Pink Paislee is 15% off this month too!
Supplies: Pink Paislee patterned paper, chiboard, diecuts and letters stickers, Basic Grey Indian Summer element stickers, raffia
