I sure value your time and efforts.  

I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope that you are enjoying your time with your family.  

Here are a few pictures of my Thanksgiving day! I was so busy with turkey that I didn't have the time to do any crafting to decor... but I was able to print out these wonderful cards and I left one for each one to write what they are thankful for...

Here is the table 

Before lunch everyone took the time to write what they were Thankful. The kids were the first ones. After we were done I hang each card in the wall. 

I hope you enjoy my post and be sure to come by tomorrow.
