Feeling Thankful!

Posted on October 13, 2014 by Mary Anne Cowan | 0 Comments

I love this time of year- the weather is getting cooler (which I actually don't like), the trees are putting on a beautiful display of colours, and it is time to take stock of all the things we have to be thankful for! Coming from a big family (I have 6 brothers and sisters!), family gatherings are loud, entertaining and fun! It reminds me how grateful I am to have such a wonderful group of siblings, in-laws, nieces and nephews.... and a few boyfriends and a fiance! 

 

It is also a wonderful time to get crafty and make little thank-you's to let the people you love know that you care. I made these cute little pumpkins and added a tasty piece of fudge inside. I've included the recipe in case you want to try it for yourself- it is to die for! The recipe is from my sister- it is very easy- but incredibly delicious! It is now a must-have at all my card classes!

 

                      

Watch for a Christmas version of these little boxes which will be available in my store in November.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!
