Layout: Thanksgivings Past

           
I entered this in a sketch challenge that called for eleven photos.  Then I snuck in a twelfth one with a circle punch to call attention to the hostess.  I give thanks for my sister Cathy who hosts all of us each year on Turkey Day... she is patient and kind and embraces the belief that there's always room for one more.   Whether you are family, friend, or acquaintance, you always feel truly welcome at her table.

Double-click on the pics to enlarge. I used Basic Grey papers, Tim's alpha charms, lots of my favorite inks and stamps, the new Sizzix Wordplay die and the new chickenwire embossing folder.

Only two more days till I head off to see Tim Holtz @ Absolutely Everything in Massachusetts...  SIGH... smile...

Thanks for the visit!
