During tumultuous days like these, it’s good to remember what we have to be thankful for.
I’m thankful that both Hubs and I have jobs, though imperfect, that provide dependable paychecks, plus a roof over our heads. I’m thankful that we live within 30 minutes of both our families and we can hop in a car to see them on a whim. It sounds silly, but I’m also thankful for my craft supplies.
I think everyone needs an outlet to unwind. Paper crafting is my personal downtime.
Over the weekend, I made a gift box of thank you cards for the bride of the wedding that Hubs and I attended. I remember how hard it was to get going on our wedding thank you cards, so I wanted to give our friends a head start.
I made a set of four matching cards, two in pink and two in green.

Card Recipe: SU Pocket Silhouettes stamp set, PTI colored cardstock, ink, and ribbon, PTI patterned paper, Fiskars Threading Water scalloped punch, Nestabilities rectangle and scalloped rectangle dies.
After I finished making the cards, I wrapped them up in clear, plastic box that I purchased from Papertrey Ink (PTI for short). These boxes can fit about eight cards, but I only had time to make four.
Before I finish this post, I have to mention that I’m thankful for my Hubs, who is so supportive of my very expensive hobby. I’m also thankful for my blog readers. You guys give me an audience to share my passion for paper and a reason to continue crafting.
What are you thankful for?
