So Thankful -- for FWF!

I want to thank everyone for visiting my blog and leaving comments.  I treasure you and your kind words.  Fridays are particularly special because of Unity FWF.  I treasure the connections I've made!

I have three cards to share with you this day after Thanksgiving (here in the US).  Two were given out at our Thanksgiving feast yesterday.  One was given to my in-laws, the other to my sister-in-law. The third card was mailed to an elderly friend of mine with a great sense of humor.

 
This first card uses Unity's October Kit of the Month (with a grateful heart sentiment), Itty Bitty thanks, thanks, and thanks (WIB-402), Little Yellow Bicycle's Acorn Hollow 6x6 paper pad, American Crafts Autumn cardstock, Copic markers, and Close To My Heart twine. I am entering this card in the 3 girl JAM Thanksgiving color challenge.
 

The turkey cards use another Unity Itty Bitty, Gobble (IB-JS-376). I cut off his tail feathers (sorry, bird!) and substituted ribbon in instead (from Really Reasonable Ribbon's monthly club kits) Jillibean Soup Apple Cheddar Soup 6x6 mini pad paper,&  American Crafts Autumn cardstock finish out the card. I am entering these cards in the Ribbon Carousel Fall Spirit challenge (RCC74)
And, that's all. No Black Friday shopping for me, but if any of you are brave enough to hit the stores, happy hunting (for bargains).

    Love that unity pumpkin stamp. Great showcasing. So cute to have the turkey looking up at his tail feathers.
