Give Thanks Blog Hop with Scraps by Gracie


'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding. 
Alice Walker

Welcome to the Give Thanks Blog Hop!  I am the first stop in the hop if you are lost this is the beginning (Alicia's blog).  As we approach the holiday season, I think it is appropriate we should reflect on things for which we can be thankful.  We can be grateful for the little things and we should be grateful for the big things.  We should take the time to give thanks for all the persons and moments that make our lives so special.  

Sooooo, we would like to say a HUGE THANKS to our sponsor today.


Theresa is giving away a $20 Stampin' Up Gift Certificate to one lucky winner AND
take 10% off any order placed through her (not available on website) by November 30th. 
Email her at scrapsbygracie AT gmail.com with your order. 

All you have to do to win this fabulous prize is comment on each of the blogs.
That's it! It really is easy.  
Of course, we would love it if you became a follower too. 

Comment buttons can be found at the bottom of the post (on most of the blogs).
Now on with the hop!

I created a card for the occasion.  I made a simple paper mask for the grassy yard.



I am not that great at coloring...I tried to make the window emit "light".

Stampin Up Holiday Home & You Brighten My Day punches and dies
Stampin Up Dusty Durango ink and paper
Stampin Up Delightful Dijon paper and ink
Brilliance Graphite Black ink
Colorbox Mix'd Media Truffle ink
