Thankful for all you do!

 Yes, I am thankful to YOU!  My blog mates who come and visit me and leave me lovely comments!  I'm also thankful for a very happy home life - my hubby, my dogs, my family, my friends - and even my work life!  Yes, I'm a very thankful lady!

But I also have to say a big SORRY to you too - it has been a manic week at work and I haven't managed to do my daily blogging!  I really miss seeing your creations and hope to be back on track on Friday - please bear with me!

Anyhoow, back to why I'm here!  There is a new Take the Pixie challenge with the theme of 'Thank You' so I made a card for a wonderful friend using Best Friends Forever...


I matched them up with the gorgeous My Minds Eye Everyday Flair (ffrom Quixotic Paperie here) and the sentiment is from the Whimsey Sentiments Collection (here) with the matching ticket die (here).

You can see more lovely DT inspiration over at the Take the Pixie blog - you'll be "thankful" that you did!  And before I go, there's a Black Friday sale right through the weekend so get your pixie cuties here!





I am entering my card into the following challenges:
