Most of you are on the road or already at your Thanksgiving destination. Lots of you ARE the destination spot for a warm resting place for your loved ones....some of us will be leaving very soon to spend time with families. It seems that Thanksgiving means more to me this year than in the past...I'm sure that age has a lot to do with that, but I also feel that we all share a very common bond this year....that of holding dear the things that are the most precious to us as things around us aren't what they used to be. I am indeed so thankful for my family.
Before I go, a little treat or two to share with you... I'm hooked on these sweet, bare paper mache houses that come in many sizes and shapes....they make the cutest packages....now to find the perfect gift for the inside.
I used the Home Made stamp set from Papertrey Ink as it is absolutely adorable and makes this process so easy.
I'm thinking of making a few of these to sell....and will sell this little lady as well. Please email me @ meliphillips@lcturbonet.com if you're interested in a pretty package made just for you.
And....one more before I go....created for Emma's Paperie this week.
Mmmm...I love these pale, creamy colors. A complete supply list can be found HERE on the Emma's Paperie blog.
Happy, Happy Thanksgiving. Life is wonderful. I am so thankful for each of you.

Melissa - your two projects are breath taking. I adore the little house - so sweet. And the fabric floral card is to die for!!! and I don't usually use more than one exclamation point either. I want to wish you and your entire family a warm and wonderful, homespun kind of Thanksgiving.

Melissa - Where do you get your music paper? Is it just old vintage music that you find at 2nd hand stores or is there a paper line that makes it? Thanks!
