Happy Wednesday! If you've no time to read my verbiage, just scroll for pictures of what's up in my craft room/den.
To those on my side of the Atlantic, happy day-before-Thanksgiving when we should be accomplishing things but we might, perhaps, be posting to WOYWW first as a procrastination technique. {{imagine innocent look here}} I'm not really panicking, although I am hosting 13 including myself, because dinner is tomorrow at 6:00 (assuming both sisters and families arrive on time). So today is for cleaning, making the stuffing, making the pumpkin pie (don't be too impressed, the pie crust is from the store), and visiting WOYWW friends in between.
I'm giving the wide view today so you can see my mess. (Yes, in any other context, this would be an odd thing to say.)
Potential Christmas cards are waiting on the chair while I finish something for Thanksgiving. I've die cut every last scrap of a piece of gold glitter paper and embossed some cardstock. Maybe they'll be cards by next week.
I'm reasonably happy with this bit of home decor. Not too grungy, not too cutesy is where I was aiming. I had to laugh because I had to be thankful only for things that my stamp set could stamp on the leaves -- hence the reason that "family" is not on the fifth leaf. I tried letter stickers, but the black was too harsh. So. . . .
Thanks for visiting me virtually, dear crafty, artistic friends. I'm thankful for you, too. :)

Lovely piece of home decor - the TH letters look great, and so does the lettering on your leaves! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving weekend, and happy WOYWW!

oh Laura...had to laugh at your story on the selection of words...too funny. Oh my your room is painted gorgeously. I always wanted a room this color with pops of red! A fave combo. Hope your Thanksgiving dinner was a success!
