Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! We know you’re likely enjoying time with your family and cooking up a storm. What a great holiday! So I thought I’d share with you a card that fits the occasion.

Butterfly Gratitude Card by Veronica Zalis on p. 78

Isn’t that card fun? It is one of the 2012 Stamping Royalty winners, which you can find in the November/December 2012 issue. And since this holiday is really about being thankful for all that we have, we wanted to take a few moments to tell you what we editors (and graphic designer) are thankful for today!

Jennifer Schaerer:

I’m grateful for my husband, kids, dogs, home, for food on the table, a job and team that I love, readers who buy magazines, a hobby that is connective and fulfilling, for friends near and far, Facebook to keep us connected, and for an outlook on 2013 that’s especially bright.

Holly Anderson:

There are so many easily-taken-for-granted things I am grateful for: flowers, mountains, sunshine, my favorite songs, and a perfectly baked cookie, just to name a few. But I’m most grateful for my fun job and a supportive family and network of friends, especially the ones I can talk to anytime no matter how long it’s been since our last chat.

Susan R. Opel:

As strange as it may seem, I’m thankful for social media. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram keep me connected to family and friends all over the world. I’m also thankful for satin ribbon and red wine!

Cath Edvalson:

While there’s always so much to be grateful for, this Thanksgiving I am particularly grateful for my good health and a shoulder that is on the mend.

Melinda Ward:

I’m thankful for fabulous food, friends, family, my husband, and a hot beverage when it’s cold outside.

Kerri Miller:

I’m grateful for so many things in my life—where I live, what I do, what I’ve been given; but most of all, I’m very thankful for the family and friendships that bring color and excitement into my life. With that, I’m ready for my pie now.

P. Kelly Smith:

One of my favorite quotes is, “The most important things in life are not things at all.” I’m grateful for this time of year that allows me to reflect on the most important things in my life: my faith, my family, and my friends.

It goes without saying that we are thankful for all of you too. Thanks for checking in with us! We hope you have a wondrous Thanksgiving from all of us here at Paper Crafts!
