Happy Thanksgiving!

My heart gives thanks for many things;

I know not how to name them all.

My soul is free from frets and stings,

For Sun and stars, for flowers and streams,

For work and hope and rest and play -

For empty moments given to dreams,

For these my heart gives thanks today.

I got that banner last year from Mika, Tina's daughter (Cherry Hill Cottage). My sweet girl is home for the rest of the week so I won't be posting again until the weekend so I can enjoy my time with her. Plus it'll give me time to catch up with everyone's blogs (I'm woefully behind - I know I owe some people recipes).

I've been working on several projects and I'll leave you with this little decoupage project I finished over the weekend. It's very easy and you've probably seen similar already on other blogs. I used some cute Christmas wrap that I got from Hobby Lobby last year on clearance and a small tin star ornament.

I'm a very impatient crafter! So I didn't make a template or anything. I just layed the wrapping paper on top of each star section and used my finger nail to outline it, cut it out, glued it down, went over the top with some Elmer's glue mixed with water - that's it.

I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving Day full of fun and good food and then we get to start decorating for Christmas!
