Happy Thanksgiving Box

I don't know about you but growing up Thanksgiving was a pretty formal affair.  We put down a cloth table cover ( not the usual vinyl one), brought out the good dishes and wine glasses and dressed up and the whole family sat around the table.  Now that my kids are grown (well all but the last one) and we do not live close to family, we have relaxed a bit at my house.  Who am I kidding... we spend the day in sweats and eat in front of the TV.... but in honor of my childhood memories and the hopes we move closer to family soon, I created this cute box to use as a table setting.

 

I mean, how stinking cute would a table be with these on everyone's plates?  I think I would fill them with some chocolate... because after you have stuffed yourself with turkey and pumpkin pie, you really need some chocolate!

 

Alright, now I am hungry... Gobble Gobble!

Fall Loving

I just love the feel of Fall.  I love the smell in the air- although, I'm not really sure it's a smell.... but it is definitely something.  It brings back memories of jumping in leaf piles, carving pumpkins, Friday night football games....just a whole ton of memories coming flooding in when I get that first hint of fall.

 

This background stamp is one of those things that makes me feel like fall.  It's called Playful Leaves SS-0234.  I have been using it quite a bit for my fall cards and classes, but I think it will be a year round favorite of mine.  I inked it up with Sweet Pear and kissed it with Oatmeal Cookie and Pumpkin Bread.  Totally love the way it turned out.

 

 

The pumpkins are from the Gobble Gobble set SS-0209, and I stamped them on a scrap of patterned paper from the Journey Neutrals paper pack.  I used the Snap Shot Frames die for the heart, fall, leaf and frame elements.

 

Go jump in a pile of leafs!!!!
