November Third--Small Joys

DH wanted me to blog about Merek's birthday presents . . . well, the one thing he received that is by far his favorite--the card from Grandma and Grandpa. It has Lightning McQueen on the front and when the card is opened it plays "Life is a Highway". Merek opens and closes the card over and over and over and over . . . and mom just might dance to the music, too.  ;-)

Today I am thankful for the small joys that bring happiness into our lives.

I'm using my November Scarlet Lime Frugal FAB kit to make a Thankful album. To make it simple, I'm going to print out the photos from each day's blog post and print the journaling, too. Then I'll embellish each page (this kit is PACKED with embellies).

The album will be 4x6. You can see how I cut the papers and they are ready to go. In addition to the patterned papers in the kit, I added a few kraft sheets as well.

I have a layout up over on the Polka Dot Whimsy blog today--I'll share it here as well.

And here is a card I made with the October PDW kit, too:

We were supposed to have rain all day today . . . but I just see blue skies out the window. Off to enjoy the sun :)

Love your card and your layout. And I am thankful that my daughter Melanie and grand daughter Millie are flying over to Germany in December to spend the holidays with us.

I'm thankful for the person who found my car keys in the Safeway produce section before I even knew I dropped them. They just happened to drop off the keys at the cashier next to mine as I was checking out. The timing was perfect!

Aren't those singing cards fun?

LOVE your idea for your Thankful album. It will be so nice to look back on.

Oh, and that is a lot of embellishments! Wow!
