Halloween is over and now it is November. That means it's time to look forward to Thanksgiving right? Well, it USED to mean that. Now it seems that the "holiday season" runs from Nov. 1-Jan. 1 with the star of the season being Christmas. I'm not complaining, I love Christmas. I just wish we could finish up fall & Thanksgiving before we begin to focus exclusively on it! We were at Target on Friday and they had all their cute Halloween signs hanging in the store along with pictures of cute children standing next to Christmas trees in the girls clothing area. Just seems wrong! Anyway, I figured I better get a quick Thanksgiving card and simple project uploaded before I clear the decks to start Christmas projects myself. Yep, sadly I too am following along and focusing my projects on Christmas cards, bags, & tags right now. I have a Christmas card class in a few weeks and a bags & tags class after that so I can't wait until November 27 to get started. At least I waited until the day after Halloween to start!

Peace,
Isn't it amazing how all the holidays run into each other. I agree that Thanksgiving seems to be getting lost and I am probably as guilty.
Anyhow, I REALLY like the card colors. The Eggplant with the Artichoke and the Pumpkin is yummy! Thanks for the Thanksgiving reminder.
